The Resident Evil franchise is one of the most popular series of survival horror games out there, giving people terrifying experiences ever since the first title appeared on the first PlayStation. The series has recently seen the latest iteration, Resident Evil 5, already appear in Japan and in just a few days it will hit North American and European shores in order to provide one of the most solid shooter experiences.

But even though the game is top notch, at least according to recent reviews, it does lack a multiplayer support, as it only has an online co-op mode designed so that two people would be able to play as both Chris Redfield, the main character, and Sheva, his sidekick.

Now, according to an updated PlayStation 3 Trophy List, it seems that more traditional multiplayer modes will soon appear in the game, as they reward certain achievements that you can reach in the Slayers, Survivors, Team Slayers, Team Survivors and Versus modes. Seeing as how these modes are inaccessible in the standard game, some critics have stated that Capcom might release them through DLC. Here are the aforementioned trophies that showcase these modes.

Army of One - Win 30 matches in Slayers. Eye of the Tiger - Win 30 matches in Survivors. The Team that slays together - Win 30 matches in Team Slayers. We Will Survive - Win 30 matches in Team Survivors. Keep the good times rolling - Chain a 20-defeated combo in Slayers. It takes two to tango - Chain a 40-defeated combo in Team Slayers. It's all about the points - Score at least 40,000 points in Survivors. There is no "I" in team - Score at least 80,000 points in Team Survivors. Let's get this party started! - Unlock all selectable characters in Versus. Bring the Pain - Defeat 100 players using physical attacks in Versus.

Capcom didn't comment on them, but the possibility for these future multiplayer modes to appear is very high. Hopefully, the Japanese company will announce them officially soon so that we can see just what they will feature. Until then, you can share your thoughts on what these modes will consist of by using the comment section below.
