Capcom has just released their latest installment in the Resident Evil series, a second downloadable content episode for the horror survival game Resident Evil 5, entitled Desperate Escape. The DLC is can be found on both Xbox Live and the PlayStation Network.
The story picks up with our combat-savvy heroine Jill Valentine as well as Josh Stone, and continues from the previous events in the Resident Evil 5 story. Having been recently freed from a mind-enslaving machine, Jill awakens to find BSAA agent Josh Stone. Under the cover of night, they must work together in order to escape a dark fate inside the Tricell facility. Barring their path are waves of fiends hell-bent on preventing Jill and Josh from re-uniting with Chris and Sheva, with a climatic encounter against Albert Wesker to punctuate the experience.
Added features also bring a little extra sparkle to the DLC. Shiny extras include new costumes for the original Resident Evil 5 campaign—Costume Pack 2, as it’s called, includes Chris’ “Heavy Metal” costume as well as Sheva’s “Business” attire. Also included are the remaining four of eight characters available for the challenging Mercenaries Reunion minigame, each with their own unique weapon sets.
Those who don’t already own a copy of Resident Evil 5 may want to consider picking up Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition. Retailing for $49.99, it will get you the original Resident Evil 5 game as well as all available DLC, including Desperate Escape. PS3 owners will get it all on a single Blu-Ray disc, while 360 folks will get the original RE5 DVD and a token to download the additional content. Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition launches tomorrow on March 9th.
