Capcom Reveals 2nd RE5 DLC Episode: 'Desperate Escape'
This week marks the announcement of the second Resident Evil 5 downloadable episode, 'Desperate Escape,' coming March 3 to the 360 and March 4 to the PS3. The first, 'Lost In Nightmares,' will be released on February 17 and 18, respectively. Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition, with all download content including two costume packs (one released with each episode), arrives on March 9 - all-on-disc for the PS3, and in the form of a disc plus download token for the 360.
Confused? Try being the victim of mind control like Jill Valentine, who stars in the new episode:
Recently freed of a mind control device, a fatigued Jill Valentine has collapsed. Awoken by BSAA agent Josh Stone, Jill and Josh work together to escape from the Tricell facility under the darkness of night. Fighting off unrelenting waves of enemies in heart pumping blockbuster action, Jill and Josh race to assist Chris and Sheva in their final showdown with Albert Wesker.
Additionally, the Gold Edition will bring an enhanced version of 'The Mercenaries Reunion':
Chris and Sheva in these new costumes as well as Josh Stone will also be playable in the refreshed THE MERCINARIES REUNION. Along with the two previously announced characters, Chris (Warrior) and Sheva (Fairy Tale), these are the first five of eight characters announced as playable in THE MERCENARIES REUNION. Each with their own unique weapon load-outs, these new characters provide additional challenges as the player aims to shoot down as many enemies as they can within a limited time. Chain together your kills, extend your time and rack up points. Featuring the most extreme weapon selections, THE MERCENARIES REUNION provides hours of new strategy induced kill sprees.
