When Tetris Attack Invaded Resident Evil 6

Resident Evil 6’s upcoming DLC was inspired by dodgeball and Tetris Attack.

I’ll let that sink in for a second while I tick off some important details about the DLC. Prior to the game’s release, Capcom announced it was preparing three new multiplayer modes for Resident Evil 6. These modes are exclusive to Xbox 360 for the time being, and will cost 320 MS points per mode, or 720 points for a bundle of all three. The DLC will be available to 360 owners starting December 18. There’s no word when this content might become available elsewhere.

Back to dodgeball and Tetris Attack…

Survivor Mode is effectively the RE 6 version of death match. You can play in teams or free-for-all, but you’re basically trying to kill your opponents. The catch is what happens when you die. When you’re killed, you respawn as a zombie, and can still attack the opposition (much like some variations of dodgeball, which Capcom told me was an inspiration for this design). If you manage to kill a human in zombie (or J’avo) form, you’ll be granted a second chance, and will re-enter the battle as your original character.
