Considering that the remake of
Resident Evil 2 has already shipped over 3 million copies worldwide on PS4, Xbox One, and PC, it stands to reason that a fair amount of players are going to be diving in to the first DLC for the game,
The Ghost Survivors, which is out today, just three weeks after the original release. In the DLC, you will play as three souls who never made it out of the doomed Raccoon City.
The gunshop owner, the mayor’s daughter, and the soldier: these are the main stars of the new, free
Resident Evil 2 DLC. Be sure to learn more about their backstories in Capcom's notes down below:
No Time to Mourn features Robert Kendo, owner of the famous (and aptly named) Gun Shop Kendo. Those who have played the game may already know how his sad tale ends, but in The Ghost Survivors, he’ s given a second chance when an old friend with a helicopter radio in to pick him up. Packing up what weapons he can, Kendo sets out into the streets to seek a way out from the infected city. On his way, a new type of poisonous zombie stands between him and freedom.
Way before the events of Resident Evil 2 took place, the fate of the mayor’ s daughter, Katherine, was already sealed. In Runaway, her story takes her down a very different path. Seeking to escape Raccoon City with a certain someone, Katherine Warren must navigate the streets while avoiding a strangely mutated type of zombie that can only be stopped with particularly powerful ammunition. Play carefully, and you might survive.
Out of the shadows comes a forgotten U.S.S .agent. Thought to have been wiped out with his squad, the appropriately named Ghost makes his debut in Forgotten Soldier. Deep within the laboratory underneath the city, another soldier (besides Hunk) attempts his escape. Having to deal with hordes of monsters is bad enough, but what do you do when they’re covered in armor?
The Ghost Survivors is technically the critically acclaimed video game's third DLC, as Capcom unlocked two extra modes –
The 4th Survivor and
The Tofu Survivor – at launch, giving you a chance to play as one enormous block of tofu (as you've probably already guessed, this version of the story is not canon), and Umbrella Security Service special Agent HUNK, the fourth person to survive the game's events.
With the brand new DLC launching today, take a closer look at its stars in this intense launch trailer:
The genre-defining masterpiece Resident Evil 2 returns, completely re-built from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience. Using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 2 offers a fresh take on the classic survival horror saga with breathtakingly realistic visuals, heart-poundingly immersive audio, a new over-the-shoulder camera, and modernized controls on top of gameplay modes from the original game.
