TheResident Evil 2Remake was primarily heralded as a success by gamers and critics alike, but it’s been a while since anything new has happened surrounding the game. In the months since the release of theDLC Ghost Survivors, all went quiet and it appeared that Capcom was done with the title. However, that may no longer be the case.
Fans paying close attention toResident Evil 2on multiple platforms have noticed an odd recent addition that may indicate that something new - possibly DLC - could be on its way for the game.

Gamers have discovered that following a recent update to the game, a new, incomplete achievement has appeared. It’s present across all current platforms that the game is operating on, including PC, PS4, and Xbox One. The achievement appears to be a placeholder, which is merely leading to fans feeling more mystified and curious as to what it could be.
The achievement has been uncovered in the files, but can’t actually be unlocked by natural means at this time. It’s simply titled “EN_Name,” and contains a placeholder image. The achievement itself doesn’t provide much information or context on what it’s for or what could be coming to the game, but it stands to reason that something could be underway forResident Evil 2.
Of course, with the current dearth of information available, there’s no way to be sure if Capcom has something up its sleeves forResident Evil 2or not. Even if there is some kind of new content coming to the game, it may not necessarily be a new story. For example,Resident Evil 6received DLC in the form of a rehashedMercenaries mode containingLeft 4 Dead 2characters. While this is surely not the case this time around, it’s possible that an existing gameplay mode could be expanded upon that could make use of new achievements.
In the end, though, gamers have no way of knowing what Capcom may or may not be planning. Fans of theResident Evilseries and its remakes in particular will have to wait and see what Capcom’s plans are and if aremake ofCode Veronicais on the horizon.
Resident Evil 2is available now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
