We've just picked up a brand new "R.P.D." demo listing for Resident Evil 2, silently appearing on the Xbox Store in the last few minutes. It seems to be a distinct product from the 1-Shot Demo that also stealthily appeared back in January. This might just be a rebranding of that same demo, or it might be something else entirely

The product store description gives nothing away, as it's just a description of the base game. We'll surely hear more about this one in the coming hours – perhaps at The Game Awards.

Might be related to that new rumoured DLC. Or perhaps GamePass announcement?

Is Capgod about to drop free standalone DLC for everyone?

I'm confused. How is exploring the RPD considered DLC for RE2 if that's something we already do? Also I have no idea what a 1-shot demo is.

If its a Standalone "Jill" Ghost-Survivor-Episode that doubles as a DLC (for those that have the game) and a Standalone Demo (for those that dont) that is playable tonight, ill probably faint.

Resident Evil 2 never had a demo released on the stores right?

Edit: It did, not sure what I was thinking.

Imagine if this is taken from the section of RE3 where you go to the RPD before the events of 2.

People are saying it's the same demo earlier this year, with the time limit removed.

There might be extras though.

At this point I'm expecting Capcom to be giving RE2 a big resurgence to get more eyes on it before RE3 comes out. Some new content for old players and the 1-shot demo with no timer for potential new players seems like a great way of doing it. Expecting a big drop at the TGAs tonight.

Capcpom weren't getting as many gotys as expected so they went Tyrant mode.

Or it's just some tiny but cool thing that's not gonna be a big deal to the maniacs here.

A few ideas of some modes they could introduce:

Multiple tyrant mode - at least three are constantly looking for you
Invisible tyrant mode - you don't see him at all but you can still hear his footsteps and music
Zombies can't be killed mode - you can only temporarily incapacitate them or make them fall back

This would be great, yeah.
