Early next year, Capcom will release some new downloadable content along with a new Gold Edition of Resident Evil 5. What can be expected?

To start off, Capcom plans to release two new downloadable episodes, with new costumes, and a new mode titled "Mercenaries Reunion." The "Mercenaries Reunion" mode will feature 8 new playable characters and some new weapon load outs. The first new episode will be called "Lost In Nightmares" and it will be released alongside the Costume Pack 1 on February 17th, 2010 for Xbox 360 and February 18th, 2010 for the PlayStation 3. The Second Episode (no title yet) will released alongside the Costume Pack 2 on March 3rd, 2010 for Xbox 360 and March 4th, 2010 for Playstation 3. See a chart below breaking down the release dates for North America and Europe.

Here is more information from Capcom on the "Lost In Nightmares" episode:
"Previously only seen during cut scenes of the original RESIDENT EVIL 5, the first new episode titled “LOST IN NIGHTMARES”, finds BSAA agent, Chris Redfield, working with his partner, Jill Valentine, as they investigate Ozwell E. Spencer’s hideaway. Spencer, the evil mastermind and co-founder of Umbrella Corporation, has been hiding a new evil deep within the basement of his mansion. Chris and Jill discover this grotesque evil standing in their way as the two enter deeper into the catacombs beneath the mansion."

If you haven't purchased Resident Evil 5 yet, you will be able to purchase the Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition which includes the original game and all of the downloadable content for an MSRP of $49.99 on March 9th, 2010. The PlayStation 3 version will include Resident Evil 5 and the extra content on a single Blu-ray disc, while the Xbox 360 will include a DVD with a download code for the extra content. No prices have been announced for the individual DLC as of yet.
