9 HUGE Video Game Spoilers That Were Ruined By Marketing

3. Jake Is Albert Wesker's Son - Resident Evil 6

Resident Evil 6 is often pilloried for being a whole game of that moment Chris Redfield punched a boulder to pieces in RE5, but most strange is how the biggest twist in the game - and for the overall canon - was made obvious across the marketing.

Coming right in the first trailer, we had complete newcomer Jake Muller - who wouldn't be entering the canon now without a bonafide narrative reason to exist - talking about "his blood", as other characters noted how important it was.

Okay... so a worthwhile bloodline...

Later on we see Jake specialises in hand-to-hand fighting, literally slicing through zombies with melee swipes and kicks.

Hmm... who could he possibly be related to? Which other character has blood with unique properties and likes to fight using martial arts?

It took all but connecting those thoughts to produce the answer, "Wesker", and though the game takes an age to reveal it officially, fans were right from the very beginning.
