Are you bored with the unspoken, yet powerful sexual tension between Resident Evil 5’s protagonists, Chris and Sheva? Yeah, we are too — that’s why we’re so excited about these scans from the latest issue of Famitsu (as uncovered by Siliconera), which reveal that the second chapter in the game’s Alternative Edition DLC, titled Desperate Escape, will let you play as Jill Valentine and Josh Stone. In case you didn’t recognize that last name, Josh Stone is actually a pretty popular British female soul singer. Seems like a weird choice, but what-evs.
Okay, Josh Stone is actually the BSAA member who helps out Chris and Sheva throughout the game — mostly through the deus ex machina helicopter rescues for which the series is well-known. But wait — if you’re playing as Josh Stone, who’s going to come rescue you at the end of the game in a helicopter? This could be bad, folks.

If you’re desperately wanting to get your hands on some new glad rags for Resident Evil 5’s co-operative protagonists, then the expanded “Mercenaries Reunion” gametype in the game’s upcoming DLC should fulfill your sartorial fantasies. Sheva’s new outfit, nicknamed “Fairy Tale,” resembles Little Red Riding Hood’s garments, as reimagined by someone involved in the adult film industry. Chris’s new outfit, nicknamed “Warrior,” simply turns him into a person-shaped collection of fists.
Sheva’s duds can be seen in the video above, while Chris’s can be found just after the jump. Proceed with caution if you elect to view the latter — there’s a very real possibility that your eyeballs could get punched.

Jill Valentine knows what’s up: Only the most refined individual understands the elegance of the crank. Chris Redfield and his personal gun show may complain that an entire mansion is being run on the archaic device in this teaser for upcoming Resident Evil 5 DLC episode, Lost in Nightmares, but that’s because the dude doesn’t respect the crank’s noble history. We’re just glad one of the two survivalists has enough class to acknowledge the significance of history’s great gate opener.

The upcoming Alternative Edition DLC for Resident Evil 5 is going to include much more than motion controller support for PS3 and the “Lost in Nightmares” flashback episode. The latest issue of Japanese mag Famitsu (via Andriasang) notes that Capcom has two additional surprises for players: new costumes and new characters for a revamped “Mercenaries Reunion” (seen above), as well as an extra, yet-to-be-revealed chapter.
All this content will be released as four separate DLC packs:
- “Lost in Nightmares” Episode – 400
($5)
- Costume Pack 1 – 160 ($2)
- Costume Pack 2 – 160 ($2)
- Additional TBA Episode – 400 ($5)
These prices are only confirmed for Japan, but it’s unlikely the US release will be too different. Will two new campaign episodes lure you back into Resident Evil 5’s monster safari?

Capcom’s recently published financial report for the first half of the current fiscal year contains some fairly gutsy estimates for sales expectations of the developer’s upcoming titles — for instance, the report anticipates selling 300,000 copies of Resident Evil 5 Alternative Edition by March 31, 2010. However, the company expects one game to be its biggest blockbuster by a fairly enormous sales margin: Lost Planet 2, which, according to the report, will sell 3.7 million copies in the second half of FY 2010.
That’s a fairly monumental increase compared to the sales statistics for the original Lost Planet, which has sold 2.28 million units life-to-date according to VGChartz. Don’t get us wrong — we’ve enjoyed what we’ve seen from the game thus far. However, if Capcom’s hoping to approach that target, it may want to consider tossing some Pokémon in there. Perhaps a cameo by Master Chief, too, for good measure.
