TheResident Evil 3remake has generally been received as a success, providing a new coat of polish to the story of Jill Valentine and Carlos Oliveria fighting to escape zombie-infested Raccoon City. Fans were quick to take notice thatResident Evil 3’s remake is considerably shorterthanRE 2’s, which has led some to wonder if DLC might be in the pipeline for the survival horror title. According to a well-known leaker, however, that doesn’t appear to be the case.
Resident Evil 3launched alongsideResident Evil Resistance, an asymmetrical multiplayer survival game that pits survivors against a mastermind taking control of classicResident Evilmonsters and creatures like Mr. X. It’s unclear ifResistanceis taking the focus away fromResident Evil 3, but future updates have already been promised for the multiplayer title.

Leaker AestheticGamer (aka Dusk Golem) revealed in a Tweet that he believes thatResident Evil 3is unlikely to receive any DLC. His logic is that as far as he knows, development on the game wrapped up some time ago, and the team has since moved on to other projects, which distinctly makes it sound as though the game won’t receive any sort of expansion.Resident Evil 2saw DLC in the form of theGhost Survivors, which told the (non-canon) tales of survival of side characters from the main campaign, like Kendo, Raccoon City’s gunsmith.
Although fans should take the rumor with a grain of salt, the door may have already closed on the future ofRE 3DLC. However, fans will at least have a chance to play as Jill again. She’ll be joining the roster ofsurvivors inResident Evil Resistancein the just a few days. Though nothing has yet been said of Carlos, a male silhouette has been teased as a playable character coming in the May that could potentially be him.
Capcom noted early on thatResident Evil 3would be shorter than2, which was part of the reason why the developer includedResistancein the first place. However,Resident Evil 3remake also has significant differencesfrom the original title that fans were likely hoping to see rectified with additional DLC storylines. At the same time, though,Resident Evil 3introduces fewer new characters and wraps up most of their stories within the game, so there’s less material for Capcom to follow up on.
WhileResident Evilfans might not have more to look forward to from Nemesis' saga, there’s rumored to be moreREgames on the horizon, includingResident Evil 8, which will allegedly continue the story ofRE 7protagonist Ethan.
Resident Evil 3is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
