If you're already signed up for residentevil.net, odds are you got an email reminder about today's title update; this update makes a few small tweaks to the game and comes just one day before three new multiplayer modes arrive as DLC.
Today's update does the following:
-Unlocks Ada's campaign from the start (don't have to finish the others for access)
-Unlocks optional co-op partner for Ada's campaign (human controlled)
-Adds more camera functionality; zoom in and out to your liking
-Unlocks "No Hope" difficulty mode. It's... hard :)
There will also be a second title update on January 22, adding the following adjustments:
-Agent Hunt mode unlocked from the start
-Agent Hunt selectable criteria before starting match (stage, region, settings like infinite ammo or friendly fire)
-Stage selection within chapters
-QTE assist; you have the option to automatically complete most QTE events (a relief on Professional, looking at you Simmons)
We can also announce the PC release date for RE6, which will hit North America as a download on March 22, 2013 (there will be a physical release as well in Europe). It will land with all console content as well as any future content that arrive as free title updates (such as the No Hope mode).
