Resident Evil 7: biohazard ‘Banned Footage’ DLC Trailer Released

If you’ve already enjoyed most of the frights that Resident Evil 7: biohazard has to offer then Capcom has a little something extra for you already if you happen to have the game for the PlayStation 4 as Banned Footage Vol. 1 has been released for that platform for $9.99. This DLC includes three separate modes to the main game and a bit of that has been focused on in the trailer below. “Nightmare,” where Sewer Gators cameraman Clancy must craft weapons and ammo to face off against hordes of enemies to survive until morning.

Also included is “Bedroom” where Clancy must figure out how to get out of a locked bedroom in the Baker family’s plantation and make his escape but beware – Marguerite Baker won’t be happy if she knows he’s up and out of bed. Along with both of these scenarios is an infinitely replayable extra game mode called “Ethan Must Die”, which is an extra tough mode that is separate from the events of the ore game.

Volume 2 of Banned Footage will be released on the PlayStation 4 on February 14th, with both volumes arriving on the Xbox One and PC on February 21st, and will cost $14.99. This pack offers new scenarios such as “21” and “Daughters.” Players will need to gamble with their own life in a deadly game of “21” with Lucas Baker and then dive deeper into the Baker family’s life before the tragic events of Resident Evil 7 biohazard in “Daughters.” An extra gameplay mode titled “Jack’s 55th Birthday” provides a race against the clock as players serve up the Daddy of the family, Jack Baker, with tons of treats for his special celebration.

  • Surge: Summon a massive wave that knocks down any target in its path
  • Iron Dome: Spawn a protective shield bubble around yourself
  • Impaler: Stab forward with a magically lengthened spear, pulling enemies back towards you

This brand new trailer featuring the Vigilist is the latest in a series of videos called “Instruments of Death” exploring Mirage’s unique band of warriors that will be released in the lead up to the upcoming 2017 PC launch of Mirage: Arcane Warfare through Steam.
