Capcom is going all out with expanding the coreResident Evil 5experience, it seems.RE5: Gold Editionwas announced today, and thankfully, it’s the same exact thing as theoft-talked aboutAlternate Edition.
Coming March 9 to PlayStation 3 as a single Blu-ray disc and to Xbox 360 as a DVD plus token for the new downloadable content,Gold Editionentails two new episodes, more costumes (presumably theRE5PC ones), and “Mercenaries Reunion” with 8 new playable characters, each with their own specific weapons.
