For fans of the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, Leon and Claire's dual campaign modes may seem like plenty of content for one game. However, Capcom isn't ready just yet to move past the highly-acclaimed re-imagining of one of horror's most cherished video games. Last month, it was revealed that the Ghost Survivors DLC would be made available free-of-charge in the near future, although additional details were scarce. Now, Capcom is filling in the gaps with some new information about the free DLC's content and its fast-approaching release date.
Capcom has announced that the Ghost Survivors DLC will release this Friday, February 15. As stated previously, the additional content will be completely free to those who already own the Resident Evil 2 remake. Capcom says the update will bring additional playable characters, scenarios, as well as an entirely new mode called "Training", which gives the player additional items and inventory space upon starting the mission.
"This set of stories provides 'what if' scenarios for characters you encounter throughout the main game, providing an alternate look at what things might have been like if they survived the horrors of Raccoon City."
"No Time to Mourn" centers around Robert Kendo, owner of the Kendo Gun Shop, "Runaway" features Katherine, the mayor's daughter, and "Forgotten Soldier" introduces Ghost, a U.S.S. agent. Completing any one of the three new challenges will bring along rewards like new challenges, trophies, and aesthetic accessories.
Ghost Survivors will mark the first major update to the Resident Evil 2 remake, which released this January 25. Up until now, those who completed the game in its entirety were left with user-created mods to satisfy the void left after the story's completion. Although, to be fair, some of the mods were arguably more terrifying than the official in-game content, like the recent Ghost of Sherry mod.
Other fans looking to get the most out of Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake may be on the hunt for one of the title's many hidden Easter eggs. For instance, like in the original Resident Evil 2, Rebecca Chambers appears in a hidden photo that can be a little tricky to locate.
Resident Evil 2 is out now for PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
