Do you love finding out that a developer is working on DLC before a game releases? If so, lend me your ear
Through a press release Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 6 will be recipient of DLC—surprise surprise. More importantly, the content will be timed-exclusive with Xbox 360 owners having access during the week of release, while PC and PlayStation 3 fans will have to wait until an unknown date.
In terms of what the package will entail, it's quite sizeable with three new multiplayer modes offered including Survivors Mode, Predator Mode, and Siege Mode.
Survivor Mode is a form of last-man standing but those who are killed respawn as enemies, and can only be resurrected by killing two living players. Predator Mode places one player in the role of Ustanak, a massive bio-organic weapon that hunts Jake Muller during the campaign, while the others are in charge of taking him down. Lastly, Siege Mode is an escort mission that makes one team responsible for the safe—highly unlikely—transfer of a V.I.P while the other team seeks to destroy him.
All three game modes will support six player online, but no split-screen. However, stats and accomplishments will be tracked so you can make fun of your friends for their poor performance.
The name of the DLC is unknown but is planned to release shortly after Resident Evil 6 comes out on October 2nd, and additional DLC is already in the works.
