Capcom announced today a new multiplayer mode for Resident Evil 5 that will be released post-launch as paid downloadable content. The Versus mode allows up to four players to compete with each other in online battles across two game types: Slayer’s Rule, a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis and Survivor’s Rule, in which players hunt each other. Below is the press release with the announcement and the first screenshots of the Versus mode:

"Versus” Brings New Online Gameplay Excitement To Resident Evil 5 Via Digital Download

Additional Mode Adds A New, Deadly Twist To RE5 Multiplayer Gameplay

Tired of working together with other players in Resident Evil 5? Ready to show your co-op partner exactly what you think of their gaming abilities? Capcom is pleased to announce that a new multiplayer mode for the soon-to-be blockbuster, Resident Evil 5, will be released post-launch as paid digital content via Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network. The new mode, called ‘ Versus,’ adds a deadly twist to Resident Evil 5’s multiplayer, pitting players against each other in a contest of survival, a marked departure from the central co-operative nature of the game.

Versus allows up to four players to match wits in online battles across two very different game types. Slayer’s Rule is a point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis. In Survivor’s Rule, players hunt the most dangerous game, each other! Players can begin the hunt as Chris, Sheva or other secret characters, and choose from either one-on-one or two-versus-two team matches for either of the two gameplay styles.

Versus will be available on Xbox LIVE and the PlayStation Network a few weeks after Resident Evil 5 is available. Versus will be available for 400 Microsoft Points on Xbox LIVE or €4.99/£3.99 on the PlayStation Network. Versus mode requires the Resident Evil game software in order to be played. A broadband internet connection is required.

Did capcom mention why the modes were not included in the game or why the DLC is not free? If you think about it, its kind of a rip-off. What's next? The next COD will charge extra for team death match mode? If I see RE5 for $40, maybe I will buy it...

I doubt it.
