Buy my DLC, or die!

A good while ago we picked up on the news that the Resident Evil Revelations re-release would have paid-DLC for its Raid mode, the arcade-style single and multiplayer shooting-fest that's actually a bit of a highlight. Details have now emerged via Capcom Unity, for those that just can't resist spending money on extra guns and characters.

It all kicks off on 4th June, with two weapon packs — Resistance Set and Enhancement Set — which each have six custom parts to boost your existing arsenal; these will be $1.99 / €1.99 each. Then on 11th June there'll be two new characters for Raid mode — Rachael Ooze and Lady Hunk — which will set you back $2.99 / €2.99 each. Finally on 18th June there'll be some additional weapons for Jill, Parker and Jessica; these will set you back $0.99 / €0.99 for each gun. UK prices haven't been provided, but will likely be a little lower due to exchange rates.

In truth we would have preferred new levels and chapters — along the lines of the DLC for the likes of Assassin's Creed III — but that would have required a great deal more effort and investment on Capcom's part. Perhaps juicier content will be announced as a surprise in the coming weeks; we can only hope.
