Resident Evil 6

Capcom today announced that three new multiplayer modes are now available for the Xbox 360 version of Resident Evil 6. Worry not, though, PlayStation 3 owners, because as is usually the case with these exclusivity deals, it’s very likely that the modes will be widely available on a multiplatform scale in the near future.

Each mode will run you 320 Microsoft Points apiece. That said, you can purchase the bundle with all three modes for 720 Microsoft Points. You can check out an in-depth description of each new multiplayer offering in Resident Evil 6 below:

Predator: In a series of quick fire rounds, up to six players take their turn as the fearsome Ustanak with full access to its weapons, while the others must avoid capture or worse. Human players score points for successful attacks, but lose points for being caught or taken down. The match is over once all have played as the Ustanak, with the participant with the most points crowned as the winner.

Survivors: This is the Resident Evil 6 take on the classic solo and team based deathmatch mode. Like Predator, you’ll compete for the highest score, but once a player is taken out, they respawn as one of the game’s enemy characters, and must then defeat another human character in order to return to the fray as their original player character. Survivors is available for two to six players.

Onslaught: Chaining combos is the key to success in this two player mode where each must clear waves of oncoming enemies. The twist comes when a player completes a combo chain as this will send enemies over to their opponent’s screen. Expect the balance of power to constantly shift in this intense addition to the Resident Evil 6 experience.

In other recent Resident Evil 6 news, Capcom announced that the PC version would launch digitally on March 22, 2013.
