New Resident Evil 6 Multiplayer Modes Available on PlayStation 3

Resident Evil 6's DLC multiplayer modes have been a timed Xbox 360 exclusive since December, but Capcom has announced that they are available this week for the PlayStation 3:

"Get your J'avo-stompin', multiplayin', Ustanak-bein' kicks this week with the long-awaited release of Predator, Survivors, and Onslaught modes for Resident Evil 6 on PS3, for $3.99 each. These modes, already available for download on Xbox 360, will be available on PS3 today in North America, tomorrow in Europe.

Additionally, in a couple weeks you can look forward to a complete map pack containing all previously-released Mercenaries add-on maps - that's Rail Yard, High Seas Fortress, Catacombs, plus Map Pack A (Requiem for Warm & Liquid Fire) and Map Pack B (Rooftop Mission & Creature Worskhop). This pack is set to be available on March 5 (Xbox worldwide & North America on PS3) and March 6 (PS3 in Europe)."

Predator
In a series of quick fire rounds, up to six players take their turn as the fearsome Ustanak with full access to its weapons, while the others must avoid capture or worse. Human players score points for successful attacks, but lose points for being caught or taken down. The match is over once all have played as the Ustanak, with the participant with the most points crowned as the winner.

Survivors
This is the Resident Evil 6 take on the classic solo and team based deatchmatch mode. Like Predator, you’ll compete for the highest score, but once a player is taken out, they respawn as one of the game’s enemy characters, and must then defeat another human character in order to return to the fray as their original player character. Survivors is available for two to six players.

Onslaught   
Chaining combos is the key to success in this two player mode where each must clear waves of oncoming enemies. The twist comes when a player completes a combo chain as this will send enemies over to their opponent’s screen. Expect the balance of power to constantly shift in this intense addition to the Resident Evil 6 experience.
