New ‘Resident Evil 2’ DLC on the Way?
Capcom seemingly appeared finished with its DLC plans for their recent remake of Resident Evil 2. That’s until a recent update added a hidden achievement to the game that has some speculating we’re not done yet with additional content.
The additional achievement, which is also in the game’s Japanese version, was found at the bottom of the game’s achievment list, and has a crudely drawn Kanji symbol as the picture. The symbol roughly translates to “placeholder” in Japanese, and has “EN_name” as the achievement title. This also only appears on the Steam version of the game.
That’s not all, either. Looking at the game’s branches on the Steam database, the game was recently updated with a few new branches over the past couple of days. These branches are used for internal testing on locked builds of a game.
Capcom has been mum on the subject of further DLC for RE2. But with “Gold” or “Game of the Year” editions of games past, they’ve put together compilation packages of all of the DLC for a game, and have even thrown in more DLC with these versions.
Whatever the case may be, the anniversary of the remake’s release is on January 11, so what better way to “surprise” fans with more content?
For those keen on following up on our mid-year best-of list for video games, iam8bit and Yacht Club Games are teaming up in a new collection for Mina the Hollower, which not only brings the game’s iconic soundtrack by Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro to vinyl, but also offers fans some cool merchandise.
Available for pre-order now at iam8bit, the Mina the Hollower Collection includes the soundtrack on 3xLP ($64.99), a notebook ($19.99) and a Keychain Blind Box ($14.99). Those fans looking to have it all can pick up the entire collection in a vinyl bundle with the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition. All products are available for pre-order today through August 17, with plans to ship in Q4 2026.
The Mina the Hollower vinyl soundtrack is pressed on rich Velvet Purple Splatter Vinyl, and features retro-inspired zoetrope artwork designed by Nimit Malava. The soundtrack also comes with a pair of special 3D glasses that enhances the cover art, paying homage to the retro nostalgia of the old-school, chip-tastic tracks composed by Yacht Club Games’ Jake Kaufman and Yuzo Koshiro.
iam8bit also offers up a series of collectible keychains as part of a Blind Box set. Those who purchase will receive one of six randomized Mina designs rendered in high-quality, squishy PVC rubber, with a Secret Chase Rare in the mix for some lucky buyers. Keychains are available to purchase individually or bundled in a set of three, and purchasing the bundle guarantees three unique keychains.
Lastly, there’s the Mina the Hollower Notebook, a 240-page notebook that replicates Mina’s in-game journal and is brought to life in a forest green faux-leather, with beautiful gold embellishments on its cover.
As mentioned, for completionists, you can grab the entire collection in the Mina the Hollower: Bone Up Bundle Edition, ($89.99). The bundle comes with the soundtrack, one Keychain Blind Box and Notebook.
And if you haven’t jumped into Mina the Hollower, you can find the game on PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 5, the Xbox Series and Nintendo Switch 2.
