Coming off of the news that the 1-Shot Demo for Resident Evil 2 has hit over two million downloads, (though only 26 percent have seen the demo to the end), Capcom is potentially considering post-launch DLC for the game.
At a press event in Dubai (props to Wccftech for the translation), Resident Evil 2 Game Director Kazunori Kadoi and Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi revealed in an interview that they are discussing the possibility of post-launch DLC! However, this is also the old “there’s nothing to share at this time”, so instead Kadoi and Hirabayashi have asked fans to keep an eye on Capcom’s social media channels. This could also potentially be the typical mistranslation of a statement, so also keep that in mind.
As for the game itself, Kadoi and Yoshiaki stated that RE2 will contain Easter eggs from previous Resident Evil games, possibly even including some from Resident Evil VII. Longtime fans of the series will be able to spot them, though newcomers won’t miss anything earth-shattering.
If Capcom decides to go ahead with post-launch DLC, what would you like to see? Would you want more side missions featuring Ada? Or hell, let’s finally indulge the internet and feature Street Fighter‘s Akuma as an unlockable! If you’re in the dark about that one, head here for an explanation.
Resident Evil 2 will release on Friday, January 15, 2019 for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.
