The Resident Evil modding community is stronger than ever. From the Resident Evil REvisited mod coming to RE2 on PC to the VR mods for the remakes of RE2 & 3, there’s a lot to be excited for. Now, another huge mod is on its way to Resident Evil 2, only this time for SEGA Dreamcast!
Modder mrgreenranger shared the teaser trailer for the upcoming Resident Evil 2: Special Edition to YouTube in December. The mod expands on the base game with content originally cut from Resident Evil 1.5. In addition, it adds Ark Thompson from Resident Evil: Survivor. The best part is that aside from running on the MakaronEX Dreamcast emulator, players can also experience the mod on the actual SEGA Dreamcast.
With the help of other modders credited in the trailer, mrgreenranger created a mod that adds a back dash ability, additional playable characters and new NPCs to interact with. In addition, mrgreenranger discusses how RE2: Special Edition will create brand new challenges for players to encounter.
Relive the horror- this time facing against new adversaries and encountering new obstacles. Leon, Claire, Sherry and Ada will have to work even harder to survive the terrors of Racoon City.

Each of the mods offer additional elements that make revisiting the game on Dreamcast fresh and exciting.
