Resident Evil 2 Remake Brings Back Tofu Mode
<p>Capcom has announced that the remake of <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/resident-evil-2/">Resident Evil 2</a> will see the return of both The 4th Survivor and The Tofu Survivor bonus modes. Both come included in the game at launch, but you'll need to unlock them.</p><p>The 4th Survivor mode allows you to play as Umbrella Security Service special Agent HUNK, the fourth person to survive the events of Raccoon City, in a standalone canon story. Meanwhile, The Tofu Survivor puts you in control of a person-sized piece of tofu. This story, unfortunately, is not canon. It is, however, much harder to complete, as the piece of tofu can only carry and use a combat knife, two green herbs, and one blue herb.</p><div data-embed-type="tweet" data-src="https://twitter.com/RE_Games/status/1084842582692319232"><blockquote align="center" class="twitter-tweet" data-conversation="none" data-mce-disable-toolbar="true"><p dir="ltr">Survive Raccoon City as the Grim Reaper and… a block of tofu?<br />Unlockable bonus modes make their return in Resident Evil 2 with The 4th Survivor and The Tofu Survivor, included with <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/RE2?src=hash&ref_src=twsrc^tfw">#RE2</a> at launch on January 25! <a href="https://t.co/NR75CQlECX">pic.twitter.com/NR75CQlECX</a></p> — Resident Evil (@RE_Games) <a href="https://twitter.com/RE_Games/status/1084842582692319232?ref_src=twsrc^tfw">January 14, 2019</a></blockquote><text></text></div><p>Both modes existed in the original 1998 <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/resident-evil-2-1998/">Resident Evil 2</a>, but Capcom has not announced if you'll unlock them in the remake via the same method used in the original game.
