Resident Evil 6 getting timed-exclusive modes for Xbox 360

Resident Evil 6 will add three timed-exclusive game modes for the Xbox 360 after the zombie shooter launches next month, according the game's Xbox.com landing page. A tweet from the official Resident Evil 6 Twitter account reveals that these modes will be called Survivors, Predator, and Siege.

It is not clear how long these modes will be available only for the Xbox 360, and at the time of press, Microsoft had not responded to GameSpot's request for comment.

In the game's Survivors mode, when killed, players will respawn as an enemy character able to attack human players. Predator mode has one player taking on the role of the Ustanak, trying to take down human players. Lastly, Resident Evil 6's Siege mode has one side protecting a single non-playable character pitted against enemies attempting to kill that NPC.

Survivors, Predator, and Siege modes will support up to six players on maps from the game's Mercenaries mode.

The new game modes for Resident Evil 6 will not be the only timed-exclusives for the Xbox 360. In June during Microsoft's 2012 Electronic Entertainment Expo briefing, the company announced that downloadable content for Resident Evil 6 will come first to the Xbox 360.
