Resident Evil 8 DLC Release Date
So the Resident Evil 8 DLC is entitled the Winters’ Expansion, and will launch October 28th this year. As stated over on the PlayStation blog post:
“The first piece of content is the Third-Person Mode. This will allow you to play the main story mode in a third-person perspective…. Next is The Mercenaries Additional Orders. The arcade-like action shooting experience returns with additional stages and new playable characters such as a fully prepared Chris Redfield, Karl Heisenberg, who wields a giant hammer and possesses the ability to control magnetic forces, and Alcina Dimitrescu who is over nine-feet tall.”
“Finally, Shdows of Rose. Players saw Rose as a baby in the main story of Resident Evil Village. This DLC will show her story of survival 16 years after the original campaign. Rosemary Winters, Ethan’s beloved daughter, has grown up and is now struggling with terrifying powers. In search of a way to break free from her curse, Rose enters the consciousness of the Megamycete.”
UPDATE: We now have a trailer for the Mercenaries mode of the DLC!
