Before the release of Resident Evil 6 back in 2012, game developers at Capcom came up with a gruesome marketing scheme to draw attention to their latest creation before it hit the selves. To carry out their gory ploy, they set up shop at a popular London marketplace.
When unsuspecting shoppers perused the stalls at Smithfield Market that day, they were greeted with a horrifying surprise.
The setup was designed to recreate the final scene in the game, which takes place in a butcher shop that specializes in purveying the finest cuts of human flesh.
Even though these disturbing delicacies were made of pork, beef, and chicken molded into human body parts, patrons were still less than eager to give them a go.
Thigh steaks and human sausages were popular selections.
Fitting, no?
The perfect accompaniment to a lovely supper of thigh steaks and human sausage!
