The Resident Evil 2 remake is soooo close to release, and a lot of fans are getting excited for it. That's mainly due to the debut of a "one-shot" demo that came out this past weekend, providing only 30 minutes to see what the game has to offer. Apparently, that was just enough time to make it a hit- and it also confirms a couple of extra modes that will be in the full game!
Capcom tweeted about the modes through the official Resident Evil account earlier today, and fans should be thrilled by the return of two fan favorites.
The first tweet confirms that a mini-game called The 4th Survivor will be unlockable once you complete the game, featuring the emotionless Grim Reaper back in action.
But not only that- Tofu is back! You can play as his character in The Tofu Survivor, which can also be unlocked. Check them both out in the tweet below.

In addition, Kat, who serves as community manager for the Resident Evil franchise in the UK, shared more details about Grim's and Tofu's separate adventures, along with a couple of additional screenshots. And, yes, Tofu looks great for, well, non-meat.

For those who may not recall, HUNK was initially introduce in the Resident Evil 2 game on PlayStation as a ruthless operative completely devoid of emotion. But Tofu was also introduced around the same time, with his mini-game being a parody of HUNK's, mainly serving as a collision model test for the team.
Needless to say, they're staples with this release, so it's great to see them make a return for the remake. Plus, Tofu in 4K, guys! C'mon!
As if we didn't have enough reason to play this game. Make sure to play the demo while you can!
Resident Evil 2 releases on January 25 for Xbox One, PlayStation 4 and PC.
