On Friday, February 15,
Resident Evil 2 will receive a free update that 'll add three new "what if" scenarios, allowing you to experience the zombie outbreak in Raccoon City from the perspective of three additional characters.
As previously detailed, The Ghost Survivors DLC will be comprised of three all-new mini-campaigns -
No Time to Mourn,
Runaway, and
Forgotten Soldier - starring characters you probably stumbled across during the main campaign with Leon and Claire. While we already know the unfortunate fate of Robert Kendo, Katherine Warren, and Ghost(a forgotten U.S.S.agent) from the campaign,
The Ghost Survivors DLC will allow you to potentially change the outcome of each character 's tragic ending.
Looking to provide an "alternate look at what things might have been like if they survived the horrors of Raccoon City," you 'll play as each of these characters each starring in their own unique scenario. Capcom has finally shed light on what these "what if" scenarios will entail.
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 three "what if" scenarios will be playable on regular difficulty or Training mode, the latter which will lower the difficulty by giving you additional items and item slots to start with. Also, unlike The 4th Survivor and The Tofu Survivor, you will be able to pick up additional items by killing specific zombies with backpacks or looting vending machines; however, if you take an item from a vending machine, you will be locked from the other two items for that run.
The Ghost Survivors scenarios will also come with new challenges and achievements/trophies to unlock as well as decorative accessories as rewards.
Resident Evil 2 is now available for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.
The Ghost Survivors DLC will release on February 15 as part of a free update to
Resident Evil 2 that also includes the free '98 Costumes for Claire and Leon, in all their 32-bit glory, inspired by the original game.
