Resident Evil 2 Remake Mod Adds Local Co-Op Mode for PC Players

Resident Evil 2 Remake Gains New Mod

A fan-made mod has been released that allows players to experience the 2019 Resident Evil 2 remake in local co-op mode on PC. This mod enables two players to play together on the same screen, facing the horrors of Raccoon City side by side.

Mod Features Include AI Companion and Customization

The mod introduces an AI-controlled companion that can fight, heal, and follow commands through a command wheel. It also allows players to switch between characters and includes features like separate inventories and a quick access wheel for easier communication.

Mod Works Only on PC and Has Limitations

The mod is currently exclusive to the PC version of the game on Steam and requires the REFramework tool. It does not support online play and has been noted for having several bugs, though recent updates have improved its stability.

Resurgence of Earlier Series Episodes

The release of the Resident Evil film in 2026, which earned over 320 million dollars globally, has sparked renewed interest in earlier episodes of the series. This has led to a resurgence in players revisiting the Resident Evil 2 remake and other classic games.

Mod Creator Used AI and Faces Some Criticism

The mod was created with the help of AI, a fact that has drawn some criticism from players. Despite this, the mod has added unique features, including a climbing mechanic inspired by another Capcom game, Pragmata.
