Capcom Reveals Free Post-Launch “Ghost Survivors” DLC For ‘Resident Evil 2’
As was reported yesterday, Capcom was thinking of potentially releasing post-launch content for Resident Evil 2. Funny how that comes out, and then on Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 Launch Event Stream, they do just that.
Ghost Survivors is a free content update for RE2 that is a new game mode that will be released in three volumes. Similar to Resident Evil 4‘s Mercenaries mode, Ghost Survivors mode has you playing as multiple characters (only Robert Kendo and the mayor’s daughter Katherine have been revealed so far) with randomized elements, and features an in-game shop to earn points in-game to purchase items. The first volume will also include a brand new enemy that’s not normally found in the main game.
Resident Evil 2 is out on PS4, Xbox One, and PC this Friday. And look out for our review!
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.
