Time to start playing Resident Evil 6 again as three new multiplayer modes consisting of Predator, Survivors and Onslaught will be added to the game at 320 Microsoft Points each. They can also be purchased as a bundle for 720 Microsoft Points.

Predator mode which is available for 2-6 players has one player in the role of the Ustanak. The humans task is to either stop the Ustanak or survive until the end of the session.

Survivors mode is deathmatch or team deathmatch with a twist. If a player is killed, they respawn as an enemy character with the ability to attack the human characters. Kill a human player and you will be resurrected in human form. Last man or team standing wins. The mode can be played by 2-6 players. 

Onslaught has two players in a head to head fight to clear waves of oncoming enemies. Usually hoard modes in videogames involve teams playing together but this game features a twist much like Super Puzzle Fighter in which chaining enemy kills together will send enemies to the opponents screen. Last man standing wins.

A free update for the game will also be released on December 17th that will allow players to adjust the in game camera to allow for a better field of view, English subtitles and the ability to play Ada Wong's campaign without having to beat the other campaigns and co-op support for the story. Finally a new difficulty named "No Hope" will be added for players that want a challenge. 

RESIDENT EVIL® 6 TO DELIVER NEW CONTENT ON DECEMBER 18

SAN MATEO, Calif. – Dec. 4, 2012 – Capcom, a leading worldwide developer and publisher of video games today confirmed that the initial wave of game add-on content for Resident Evil® 6 will be available on December 18 exclusively first on the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft.   Consisting of Predator, Survivors and Onslaught modes, each mode is priced at 320 Microsoft Points and expands on the game’s multiplayer elements, providing new and exciting ways to enjoy the world of Resident Evil 6. Players can purchase all three modes together as a bundle pack at the value price of 720 Microsoft Points on the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for Xbox 360.

Available for two to six players, in Predator one player takes on the role of the Ustanak, the fearsome B.O.W. that stalks Jake Muller throughout his campaign, and tries to eliminate the human players.  The humans’ task: stop the deadly B.O.W. in its tracks, or at least survive until the end of the session.

Survivors takes the classic solo and team-based versus mode and adds a twist. Get killed and respawn as an enemy character with the ability to attack the human characters. Take down one human character to resurrect in human form. Last man or team standing wins. Survivors can be played by two to six players.

Onslaught sees two players go head-to-head in an attempt to clear waves of oncoming enemies. Chaining combos provides the key to success in Onslaught as this will send enemies over to the opponent’s screen, the more that are sent over, the quicker the victory will be.
