Resi 5 to get new multiplayer modes?

Trophy updates seem to spoil future DLC.

An updated Trophy list for the PS3 version of Resident Evil 5 appears to reveal that a number of competitive multiplayer modes will be added to the game as post-launch downloadable content.

The Trophies, spotted by Joystiq, are offered in game types called Slayers, Survivors, Team Slayers, Team Survivors and Versus.

Trophy objectives include "unlock all selectable characters in Versus", "defeat 100 players using physical attacks in Versus", "score at least 80,000 points in Team Survivors" and "chain a 20-defeated combo in Slayers".

It seems Capcom is opening Resident Evil's doors to full-scale competitive multiplayer, in addition to the co-operative and Mercenaries score-attack modes.

We've contacted Capcom for comment.
