Capcom has finally confirmed that the Resident Evil 5 Versus Mode DLC will be released on Xbox LIVE and PlayStation Network this week.

Available from tomorrow, the DLC will set you back $5 on PSN (or 400 Microsoft Points) and it will included the following new multiplayer modes:

Slayer – A point-based game that challenges players to kill Majinis.
Survivor – Players hunt the most dangerous game, each other!

Players can pick from Chris, Sheva and any of the hidden characters in a one-on-one or two-versus-two setting for either gameplay modes.

As it was revealed the other day, Resident Evil 5 will be getting a added multiplayer gameplay mode, but instead of it coming in the full game, it looks like it will be coming as paid DLC. I know, why didn’t they just add it into the full game? Well, you aren’t the only person to ask that question.

However, Capcom did reply to the recation yesterday to the announcement. “Although Versus mode makes use of the assets that exist in the game, the functionality is not currently in the game and is above and beyond the initial scope of Resident Evil 5,” Capcom reported to CVG.

“We have never included a Versus mode in Resident Evil before, and as well as the costs of development of the feature, there’s also additional bandwidth costs associated with it,” it added.

The patch, costing $4.99 on PSN, or 400 MS points on 360, will introduce new Versus modes – Slayer and Survivor.
