Resident Evil 5 Gold Announced, DLC Dated

19 Nov 2009 at 18:10:22 by Tim McDonald

Capcom has announced the Resident Evil 5 Gold Edition in addition to announcing and dating DLC.

The Gold Edition will pack in all of the forthcoming DLC content - two new downloadable episodes, a load of new costumes,  and a mode titled "The Mercenaries Reunion" which packs in eight new characters with unique weapon load-outs.

All of these will be available both as DLC and in the Gold Edition, which will have a "competitive price."

Lost in Nightmares is the previously announced DLC episode that sees Chris and Jill heading to the mansion of Oswell Spencer, the co-founder of Umbrella. The whole mansion will be playable, as opposed to Resident Evil 5, which simply showed segments of it. A pack of new costumes for Chris and Sheva will be made available on the same day as Lost in Nightmares.

The other DLC episode is currently untitled, and we've no details on what it might include, so get speculating.

Check out the tentative dates below:

360 DLC dates:

• Lost in Nightmares - 17 February
• Costume Pack 1 - 17 February
• Episode 2 (TBA) - 3 March
• Costume Pack 2 - 3 March

PS3 DLC dates:
