Capcom confirmed today that Resident Evil 5 will receive new, competitive versus modes in the coming weeks.
"Versus allows up to four players to match wits in online battles across two very different game types," reads Capcom’s official description. "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."
The downloadable ‘Versus’ pack will run you $4.99 USD on the PlayStation Store, and will release "a few weeks after Resident Evil 5 is available."
