Capcom is working on a new game mode for its Resident Evil 2 remake that offers three additional perspectives on the zombie infestation of Raccoon City. That mode, The Ghost Survivors, will be released as a free update to the game, Capcom announced at Resident Evil 2’s launch event in Japan.
The Ghost Survivors will be a side story that focuses on three survivors: Robert Kendo, the firearms dealer who owns Raccoon City’s Kendo Gun Shop; an unnamed member of the Umbrella Security Service; and Raccoon City mayor Michael Warren’s daughter, who meets a tragic fate at the hands of the city’s police chief.
According to a translation of the event from Siliconera, The Ghost Survivors will include randomized scenarios, an enemy unique to the game mode, and a shop where players can purchase items with points they earn in-game. We’ve reached out to Capcom for more details.
In addition to The Ghost Survivors, Capcom has some more free content planned. Low-polygon character model costumes for Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield, known as ’98 Leon and ’98 Claire, will be released for the game for free in March.
Resident Evil 2 is coming to PlayStation 4, Windows PC, and Xbox One on Jan. 25. You can read our take on Capcom’s remake of the survival horror classic in Polygon’s review.
