https://www.resetera.com/threads/res...-update.94986/Just announced on Capcom's Resident Evil 2 Launch Event Stream. Ghost Survivors is a free content update for REmake 2 that will be hitting post-launch, no date yet, but it's a new game mode where you can play as multiple characters, it'll be a mode with randomized elements, an in-game shop (not micro transactions, earn points in-game by performing well), and should be very replayable they say. Hints it might be like a randomizor/rogue mode, but no 100% at this time. Confirm that Robert Kendo, a USS Member and Katherine (mayor's daughter) are playable in it, surprisingly the characters from the main game not confirmed playable at this time (but say more characters to be revealed).
---
SLIGHT UPDATE: Not much more, but this mode seems it'll be dished out in volumes over time, three volumes, the first one will hit at an unknown date, have Kendo, a USS Member, and Katherine playable. The mode may have a loose "alternate reality" story mode and randomized rogue-like mode, but it's a bit unclear right now. Confirmed this first volume will include a brand new enemy that's not in RE2 normally, and again is a free content update.
Announced on the Resident Evil 2 Launch Party event, it's part of a special Japanese promotion starting on January 25th so you get these costumes if you buy special promotion items (for example, there will be PSN Point Cards that give you the costume for free), but be made free for everyone on March 22nd.

Attack of the Fanboy - Kyle Hanson - 5 / 5 stars
From top to bottom, Resident Evil 2 is a stellar achievement from a team that obviously loved the source material and went to great lengths to update and enhance it without losing that original magic.
CGMagazine - Joel Couture - 8.5 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 excels at putting the player in close quarters with things that will upset and unsettle them, always drawing them into ever more tense, disturbing fights.
Cheat Code Central - Benjamin Maltbie - 5 / 5.0
This remake is, without a doubt, the best way to experience Resident Evil 2.
COGconnected - Michael Chow - 90 / 100
Resident Evil 2 is a remake that went above and beyond the call of duty.
Cultured Vultures - Jimmy Donnellan - 9.5 / 10.0
A faithful remake that does exactly what it needed to do while adding plenty of its own ideas, Resident Evil 2 is now as terrifying in 2019 as it was in 1998.
Destructoid - Chris Carter - 9 / 10.0
My complaints about the Resident Evil 2 remaster are minimal. An argument could be made that Capcom could have done more, but the spirit of the original has been preserved and in many cases, enhanced. I hope every legacy game in the series gets this loving treatment, as I'll probably be playing them for the rest of my life.
Digital Trends - Gabe Gurwin - 4 / 5 stars
While Resident Evil 2 could have bettered its story structure for 2019, theres no denying that Capcom has delivered an impressive remake fully worthy of its title.
Digitally Downloaded - Lachlan W. - 5 / 5 stars
Its a love letter to survival horror, delivered direct like a bullet to the head.
DualShockers - Logan Moore - 9 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 stands as not just one of the best installments in the long-running horror franchise, but it might just be the greatest remake ever made.
Easy Allies - Michael Huber -
The remake of Resident Evil 2 honors its legacy while bringing modern improvements that make the terror feel brand new.
EGM - Mollie L Patterson - 9.5 / 10.0
More than just a simple remake of a cherished classic, Resident Evil 2 is a reinvigoration of the entire franchise, showing just how much life it still has left without the need to make drastic gameplay or stylistic changes. From start to end, this is a phenomenal showcase of old mixed with new, both giving players the chance to relive an important chapter in the life of the series under fantastic new conditions, while also potentially paving the way for Resident Evil for years to come.
Eurogamer - Aoife Wilson - Recommended
Capcom finds the perfect middle ground between old and new in this sterling remake.
Gadgets 360 - Rishi Alwani - 10 / 10
It's this combination of exploration, puzzle solving, and action that makes Resident Evil 2 a treat to play. All of these distinct gameplay elements come together in a natural, organic fashion that works well.
Game Informer - Ben Reeves - 9.5 / 10.0
For Resident Evil fans this is a must-play, but even those without nostalgia for RE 2 will have a good time
Game Revolution - Jason Faulkner - 5 / 5 stars
Whether youre a long time fan or a newcomer, Resident Evil 2 remake is an absolutely fantastic game. Its the best in the series yet and wholly outshined my most optimistic expectations. It doesnt supersede the original, but its an excellent retelling, a wonderful update, and an excellent experience.
Gameblog - Romain Mahut - French - 8 / 10
Recreating Resident Evil 2 20 years later was no easy task but Capcom pulled it off. Resident Evil 2 was handled with love and care and it shows. 2019's Resident Evil 2 is a wonderful Survival Horror that is both terrifying and fun to play. Fans old and new will have a great time with the game. Our only, and minor, complaint is that we wish the remake added more new story content to the original storyline. But other than that, Capcom did the original game justice.
GamePro - Dennis Michel - German - 90 / 100
That's the way remakes have to be! Thanks to its outstanding atmosphere, disgusting splatter effects and clever game design, the classic reinvents itself.
GamesBeat - Jeff Grubb - 85 / 100
Finally, Capcom has put a lot of game into Resident Evil 2. It has four remixed campaigns — two each for the playable characters Leon and Claire. But Capcom has also revealed plans to add even more. That includes a mode that randomizes where items are as well as new player characters.
GameSpew - Richard Seagrave - 10 / 10.0
Put simply, this re-imagining of Resident Evil 2 is everything a Resident Evil fan could ask for, taking the series back to its roots without feeling old. It is single-player survival horror at its finest, and quite possibly the best Resident Evil game ever made.
GameSpot - Alessandro Fillari - 9 / 10
In Capcom's reimagining of Resident Evil 2 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, the classic survival horror franchise embraces its past in a new, exciting way.
GamesRadar+ - Leon Hurley - 4 / 5 stars
A beautifully made and reverent take on the original game that works both as a remake and a completely new game.
GameWatcher - Chris J Capel - 9 / 10.0
We loved every moment of Resident Evil 2, and even if you know the first game inside out, you wont know the Remake at all.
GameZone - Cade Onder - 9 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 is a definite remake in every sense of the word. It feels familiar but it's also dressed up to be 100% new for both veterans and newcomers alike. Fans will appreciate the smooth controls that still maintain the classic Resident Evil feel, the genuine feeling of horror, the great puzzles, and much more. Capcom has managed to redeliver a classic in a way that sparks new life into the series and survival horror genre.
GamingBolt - Shubhankar Parijat - 10 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 is not only an accomplished remake that should serve as the blueprint for how to re-imagine beloved classics, but is an incredible game in its own right- so much so, that it might even stand as one of the very best games this venerated and decorated franchise has delivered to date.
Guardian - Keith Stuart - 5 / 5 stars
Capcom's survival horror classic returns with improved visuals, new controls and a whole host of monstrous surprises
Hardcore Gamer - Adam Beck - 4.5 / 5.0
Capcom has not only recreated Resident Evil 2, but entirely redesigned it to be a bigger and more robust horror experience.
Heavy - Elton Jones - 10 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 has been reborn and retooled in all the best ways possible. This is the best video game remake that other modernized classics of its ilk should be judged by.
Hobby Consolas - David Martinez - Spanish - 92 / 100
Resident Evil 2 is an impressive remake; extremely faithful to the original 1998 game, yet more accesible. An authentic survival horror game that brings back the best moments we spent with the Capcom franchise.
Merlin'in Kazanı - Ersin Kılıç - Turkish - 86 / 100
Resident Evil 2 Remake brings back the old horror and terror feel once again. It's remains as faithful as its old version and merging this with new technologies, audio and visual effects successfully.
Metro GameCentral - Unknown - 9 / 10
A fantastic big budget remake of one of Resident Evils most popular entries, that manages to look state-of-the-art but in terms of gameplay finds a perfect balance of old and new.
PC Gamer - Andy Kelly - 89 / 100
A tense, challenging, and beautiful remake of a classic survival horror game, and with enough fresh ideas to make it feel excitingly new.
PCGamesN - Chris Priestman - 8 / 10
Capcom's remake is a spectacularly gory game that brings a classic in line with horror titles of today, and only at the loss of some of the original's beloved goofiness.Chris Priestman
PlayStation Universe - Adam Byrne - 9.5 / 10.0
Capcom has achieved the near-impossible with the remake of Resident Evil 2. A remarkable labour of design, iteration, faithfulness, and adaptation; a masterclass in knowing what to change, how to change it, and what to build upon, Resident Evil 2 in 2018 emerges from the shadow of its namesake with consummate ease.
Polygon - Michael McWhertor - No Verdict
Capcom, on a far less dangerous scale, has not always known how to handle its own creation. After mutating from quaint horror to buffoonish action to back again, the Resident Evil series has been wildly inconsistent. But back-to-back Resident Evil games that showcase the very best of survival horror is evidence that Capcom may have its monster under control
PowerPyx - DK - 9.6 / 10.0
A perfect remake or Resident Evil 2 and an amazing game overall. I got what I expected it to be and even more than that. Definitely a recommendation for fans or the series as well as for everybody else.
Press Start - James Mitchell - 10 / 10
Resident Evil 2 takes a masterpiece and twists it until it resembles something completely new without betraying the spirit of the original.
PSX Brasil - Ivan Nikolai Barkow Castilho - Portuguese - 98 / 100
Resident Evil 2 is an excellent game. The Survival Horror that fans wanted so much is here, the technical aspect is impressive and the various campaigns (even if they have very similar elements) increase the lifespan considerably. Although the remake is not exactly identical to the original, the essence of the 1998 game remains present. Resident Evil 2 is a must-have title in your collection.
Push Square - Liam Croft - 8 / 10
Resident Evil 2 might be one of the most accomplished remakes of the generation.
PushStartPlay - Richard Lee Breslin - 9.4 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 is re-invented for a new generation and is better than ever!
Rely On Horror - Rourke Keegan - 10 / 10.0
Packed with nostalgia, new challenges, complex and deep gameplay that doesnt just adapt but embodies the genre its inhabiting, and a AAA presentation that blows every previous RE out of the water — yes, even REmake — I feel confident in this assessment: As it was in 1998, so to shall it be in 2019. Resident Evil 2 is the best Resident Evil game ever made, full stop.
Rock, Paper, Shotgun - Matt Cox - No Verdict
Thats where Resident Evil succeeds. Not in the drivel spouted from its characters mouths, but in the bullets spewed from their guns. Or better yet – the clicking of empty chambers, or the spine-chilling scratches of scrabbling overhead. I may hate lickers, but Im also a little bit in love.
Saudi Gamer - Unknown - Arabic - 9 / 10
A triumphant remake and reimagining of a beloved classic that makes it stand toe-to-toe with modern games, even if the seventh entry succeeded more in that aspect.
Screen Rant - Zak Wojnar - 4 / 5 stars
Capcom returns to Raccoon City with Resident Evil 2, a remake of the 1998 classic!
Shacknews - Brittany Vincent - 9 / 10
Youll also come across quite a few surprises in terms of boss encounters and scenes that definitely werent in the original game that I wont spoil here, but suffice it to say, youll be left with your jaw hanging open. Unfortunately, the game doesnt take the opportunity to flesh out or expand on some of the more ambiguous parts of the Resident Evil lore, which I would have liked to see, but given that it does deliver with new content all its own, thats not a huge issue.
Stevivor - Steve Wright - 10 / 10.0
The traditions of survival horror have been modernised, resulting in something that's all-too-familiar yet always manages to keep you on your toes.
Tech Advisor - Dominic Preston - 4.5 / 5 stars
Resident Evil 2 is a remake done right: a labour of love built primarily for the fans, welcoming new players but only so long as they're willing to meet it in the middle
Telegraph - Tom Hoggins - 5 / 5 stars
Labelling this new version of Capcom's survival-horror classic a 'remake' somehow feels like an curious understatement.
The A.V. Club - Sam Barsanti - No Verdict
If 2017s Resident Evil 7 was a return to form for the long-in-the-tooth horror brand, the Resident Evil 2 remake is proof that Capcom never really lost its touch—it only lost its way.
The Games Machine - Gian Filippo Saba - Italian - 9.6 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 is one of the best remakes we've ever seen: it's a bit different from the classical survival horror released in 1998, while still remaining true to the original game.
The Jimquisition - Jim Sterling -
The Resident Evil 2 remake has been anticipated for years, and Capcom has impressively lived up to expectations.
TrueGaming - Unknown - Arabic - 9.5 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 is a successful resurrection of the original and it's an action game worthy of every fan of the genre and not only those who loved the original.
Twinfinite - Zhiqing Wan - 4.5 / 5.0
The Resident Evil 2 remake is, indeed, the best Resident Evil game ever released. I see that now. It brings back everything that fans loved from the PS1 classic, and presents it in a fresh way that's both exciting and nostalgic in a modern age. Survival horror isn't dead, inform the press that Resident Evil really is back.
USgamer - Matthew Kim - 4.5 / 5 stars
The sense of fear and terror when playing Resident Evil 2 never leaves you. It's unlike anything else I've encountered in a Resident Evil game previously. I'm just going to go ahead and call it: Resident Evil 2 is the best Resident Evil game in the franchise and represents a series and developer at its peak. Don't be distracted by the pretty graphics and gore, Resident Evil 2 is straight-up dangerous.
VideoGamer - Michael Harradence - 9 / 10
Resident Evil 2 is more than a remake of a classic game, it's one of the most accomplished horror titles you'll play for a long time
Wccftech - Nathan Birch - 8.5 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 is a polished, respectful remake of a survival horror classic that probably would have benefitted from a slightly more daring approach. Hints of a braver revamp are sprinkled throughout, but it doesn't take the risks necessary to join the canon of truly great video game remakes. Make no mistake though, if you loved the original Resident Evil 2, you'll likely love the remake, and new players who can tolerate a few old-school quirks ought to have gruesome good time as well.
Windows Central - Jez Corden - 5 / 5 stars
Capcom has shown the world exactly how classic games should be remade, and its name is Resident Evil 2.
Worth Playing - Cody Medellin - 9 / 10.0
Resident Evil 2 Remake does more than make a great game look prettier for the modern crowd. The changes make the game a brand-new experience for those who have played the original, but the title keeps a sense of familiarity that prevents it from being totally unfamiliar.
ZTGD - Anthony Mann - 10 / 10.0
This game was fantastic and despite it only being January I can definitely see this as a game of the year contender. Spectacular work and a must have.
