Resident Evil 2's three all-new mini-campaigns, titled
No Time to Mourn, Runaway, and
Forgotten Soldier, are available right now as a free update for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC (Steam), Capcom has officially announced and released a special launch trailer for this
Ghost Survivors DLC.
These additional stories are focused entirely on three unfortunate souls who never made it out of the zombified, doomed Raccoon City: the gunshop owner, the mayor’s daughter, and the soldier.
As a reminder, Capcom has recently unlocked two extra modes –
The 4th Survivor and
The Tofu Survivor – included with the standard version of
Resident Evil 2, giving you a chance to play as a person-sized piece 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.
Learn more about these three poor souls in Capcom's notes on the DLC and launch trailer 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 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.
Resident Evil 2 is available for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC NOW!
