The latest installment of the Resident Evil franchise didn’t go down to well with the majority of their die hard fans. Resident Evil 6 which came out in 2012 was to some extent a failure by developers Capcom.
To make up for this terrible injustice to the much loved gaming series, Capcom have now announced that there will be a host of new features on the new DLC which releases in March 2013.
Great Content, Low Price
This will be a online mode which will involves players having to protect the AI controlled characters with certain tasks in the form of a siege. The game makers have said that they were also disappointed with the reviews that the game got and hope to make things better with these new gameplay modes and free updates.
The completely free updates will be eligible for the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 formats respectively. The add-on will work as a totally new game in some aspect but it will also add a fair bit of content to an already large game.

During the new gameplay, you will be split into two entirely different teams, with one team taking complete control of the monsters. The other team will consist of the heroes and main characters of the game, giving you the choice of selecting who you want to be.
It is a very clever idea and one that GLN thinks will work, but will also get more people playing on Resident Evil 6 a little more often than usual. Everyone likes new ideas and gameplay when it comes to video game and the real winners are the downloadable content.
Siege Mode Details
In Siege mode, the human team is tasked with surviving for a set amount of time, while the zombie team attempts to stop them. The human team is armed with powerful weapons and can use the environment to their advantage, while the zombie team can use their unique abilities to overpower the humans.
The mode takes place on large maps with multiple areas to explore and strategic points to defend. Success in Siege mode hinges on effective teamwork and communication among players. The tension is high, as the human team must constantly be on the move to avoid being overrun by the zombie horde.
One of the strengths of Siege mode is the variety of playable characters. Each character has their own unique abilities and equipment, allowing for a diverse range of strategies and playstyles. For example, some characters may specialise in healing, while others are skilled with explosives or melee combat.
Another highlight of the mode is the impressive graphics and sound design. The dark, atmospheric environments and terrifying sound effects create a truly immersive experience that’s sure to leave players on the edge of their seats.
You will also switch sides from round to round so everybody will each take a turn to be the monsters and the real in game characters. To win for the heroes, you will have to evade the enemies in what we suspect will be a time trial type of game mode.
To win for when you are playing as the monsters, you will simply have to kill everyone and everything that is in sight. A very well thought out process that is surely going to be a big hit for Capcom.
Siege Mode Release Date
Resident Evil 6 is due out for release on the PC format around the exact same time in March. The siege game mode will be around £3 to purchase which is not a lot when you look at all the other DLC prices on other video games.
The Onslaught, Predator and Survivors game modes that were previously released are also available at the same price and will be out on the PS3 in February.
