Capcom has revealed that S.T.A.R.S. members Barry Burton and Rebecca Chambers will be unlockable as part of the upcoming additional content for Resident Evil 5.

The characters will be playable in "Mercenaries Reunion" mode, and will feature their own customized weapon load-outs. The characters will ship as unlockables on the Resident Evil 5: Gold Edition retail disc, which comes with both the "Lost in Nightmares" and "Desperate Escape" expansions.

If you already own Resident Evil 5, you can simply download the content. As for which pieces of downloadable content unlocks which characters, it gets a bit confusing -- Capcom made a chart to clear things up. My head hurts.

Hit the jump for the details, as well as a video of Barry in action.

Characters Unlocked for THE MERCINARIES REUNION

Lost in Nightmares
Barry Burton
Excella Gionne

Character Pack 1
Chris Redfield (Heavy Metal)
Sheva Alomar (Business)

Desperate Escape
Rebecca Chambers
Josh Stone

Character Pack 2
Chris Redfield (Warrior)
Sheva Alomar (Fairytale)

Is this really that important? We don't care to pay for characters, granted Barry and Rebecca come in the chapter DLC.

Barry Burton.

oh god yes, so fucking awesome. mindblowing.

He even says "I have THIS!".
I got genuinely excited when I first found out.

Claire over Barry? No real Resi fan would ever suggest that.

Also awesome how you get Barry as part of one of the new chapters, instead of in a character pack.
Rebecca is a non-entity so I won't mention her any further.

I'm genuinely surprised Leon wasn't announced for this, since they've already got the animations and camera angles and everything done for him. I'm excited they're bringing some of the older characters in, though.

They should have a mode with Barry and Jill, just so he can tell her she was almost a Jill sandwich.

Leon? Leon? He had his game in RE4, which was sold to the public various times over the last few years, and he was in RE2. He's got plenty of exposure.

Wow, Capcom listen again. When they asked what we wanted for DLC, I went back to Capcom Unity and suggested Barry, who hasn't been in the RE series since RE1.

Just shows, it pays to join Capcom Unity, and cheers for listening, Capcom.

to this day, i'll never understand why people didn't like RE5. imo, it's one of the best games i've ever played.

You know, I'm not usually one to complain, but having to watch the Wolfman ad before BOTH videos is a little ridiculous. I'm guessing you guys don't really have any way around this right now, so I'm not that upset. Just a bit annoyed.

Just saying.

Also, this DLC looks cool but I haven't touched this game in a long time.

"I have THIS!"

I'm willing to bet it's a weapon that is reeeeeally powerful. Especially against living things.

I don't remember Rebecca sounding that stupid in RE:0.

Oh well, playing as Barry is gonna be kick-awesome.

Totally excited to play as Barry again, but I'm curious as to why they pretty much just grabbed the models of Barry and Rebecca straight out of the GameCube titles wholesale with little to no touchups.

The Wolfman! Hell yes! I mean, RE: 5 DLC! Hell yes! Almost forgot I was waiting for RE:5 previews. ;)
Anyway, yes, I fucking loved RE:5! Even though most people took a poo on it. I loved every minute! And still play Mercs to this day, too.
About the DLC... Man, Barry is one brutal beast! Damn. And Rebecca is too cute, spraying the Majini in the face with one of her melee bottles of pain! Awww.
Can't wait! =)
