Resident Evil 2being on PC means that the critically-acclaimed survival-horror game is getting all sorts of mods released for it. One of the latest adds Captain Marvel to the game, swapping out Claire Redfield for Marvel’s extremely powerful heroine.
Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though the Captain Marvel mod includes any of the character’s various powers. It really just seems to function as an alternate costume for Claire, which is fine for anyone looking to play as Captain Marvel in a video game, as their options are actually quite limited at the time of this writing.
SinceResident Evil 2’s launch in January, we’ve seen the modding community replace its cast with a variety of other characters. For example, we’ve seenRegina fromDino Crisisadded toResident Evil 2in a manner not unlike Captain Marvel, letting players live out their fantasy of aDino Crisisremake.
Other mods that have been released forResident Evil 2change some of the game’s creatures for other characters. One mod turned all the zombies into tofu, and anotherreplaced Mr. X with Thomas the Train, which is arguably even scarier than the relentless, fedora-wearing tyrant that players encounter in the base game.
Another mod forResident Evil 2replaces Mr. X with a more familiar character toResident Evilfans: Nemesis. Like with the ReginaDino Crisismod,Resident Evil 2fans can download the Nemesis mod to tide them over until Capcom decides to move forward with a full-fledgedResident Evil 3remake. It may not be quite the same as facing the real Nemesis head-on, but it’s a decent substitute.
Other mods released forResident Evil 2actually focus on changing up the gameplay. Mods have been released that change the game’s camera modes, giving players the option to play in first-person or with theclassic fixed-camera anglesthat were used in the originalResident Evil 2.
Resident Evil 2currently stands as the highest-rated video game of 2019 so far and has sold millions of units worldwide. Considering its popularity, fans should be able to expect modders to continue releasing new content for the game in the months to come.
Resident Evil2is out now for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
