Capcom still looking at more DLC for Resident Evil 5

Capcom’s Christian Svensson has revealed that the company is flirting with the idea of churning out more downloadable content for Resident Evil 5, and is currently looking to the community for feedback on the matter.

Speaking on VG247’s latest podcast, Svensson commented, “We’re talking about it. I don’t know if you have seen some of the threads on Capcom Unity, but questions came up on whether we are going to do any more.” This isn't the first time Svensson has hinted at further DLC for the game, having addressed the situation back in May.

“I asked what people would want to see and that spawned a thread that was literally hundreds of posts long and had tens of thousands of views.”

“I mentioned that thread to the team and we have discussed it ever since. So I will leave it at that.”

RE5’s first (and to date, only) batch of DLC was released back in April in the form of the multiplayer-themed ‘Versus’ pack, which throws in two online game modes – Slayer and Survivors. Our review of Resident Evil 5 can be read here.

    I'm usually more interested in singleplayer DLC, so I hope they pump out another chapter or 2.

    To be honest unless they really pull something good from there rectum i wouldn't be getting it i never liked the idea of the Vs mode as much as plenty of people love it, it just wasn't resident evil and the fact that it came on the disc was an abomination to my trust with capcom

    I rented and beat it on the very hardest setting. I will still buy it eventually. This DLC would give me a good excuse for when I question myself on why I bought it :D

    Depends what it is. If it's more multiplayer modes, not interested. Not that they were bad but not really worth spending the money on. I would like to see more costumes or maybe even some episodic content with other characters like Claire or Jill?

    Well they havent really released any actual DLC, Vs was already included somewhat in the game and that 300kb was more like a patch or key to unlock it ¬¬

    if it's more missions for the story mode, fine. Multiplayer?  forget it.  that's what modern warfare 2 is for.
