‘Resident Evil 6’ DLC Expands On The Multiplayer Offering
Capcom recently detailed their plans for the post-release DLC for Resident Evil 6, and it’s nothing but good news if you’re looking forward to the multiplayer features. Among the DLC are three new multiplayer modes — Survivors, Predator, and Siege. There will also be additional maps for Mercenaries to look forward to as well. More details after the break!
In Predator, one player gets to wreak havoc as the Ustanak — that fantastically creepy Frankenstein B.O.W. that stalks Jake Muller in many of the game’s trailers — on the other players. The humans are tasked with putting the creature down before it’s able to paint the walls with their insides, or to simply survive until the end of the round. Sounds a little like Gears of War’s Beast mode, just replace the Berserker with the Ustanak and the bulky space marines with people who are far easier to break.
Next up is Siege, where the players are split into teams. One team must defend an NPC against the attacks from the other team, whose goal is to beat that poor NPC to a bloody pulp.
The final mode, Survivors, is a twist on the classic Deathmatch mode, only this time when you die you’re resurrected as some sort of C-Virus monstrosity.
Of course, all your statistics and accomplishments will be easily trackable and ready to be shown off to your friends on ResidentEvil.net, the free online service that will come with Resident Evil 6.
It all sounds fun, but we won’t know for sure until the game releases on the PS3 and Xbox 360 on October 2nd.

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
