Resident Evil 5 getting Versus mode

Capcom confirm early DLC plans

A new online Versus mode for Resident Evil 5 will be added to the game post-launch, Capcom announcing plans to enhance their survival-horror epic via DLC.

According to the publisher, this new premium content "adds a deadly twist to Resident Evil 5's multiplayer, pitting players against each other in a contest of survival, a marked departure from the central co-operative nature of the game."

The content will be available within 'weeks' of the game's launch (this Friday), we're told, costing either 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox Live, or 3.99 USD on PSN.

We'll have a review of the full game for you soon.
