You can now tackle Resident Evil: Revelations 2's Raid mode with a friend (or a stranger) online, Capcom has announced.

The latest update for now-complete episodic game Revelations 2 has been released, with the most exciting aspect being the addition of online multiplayer support for Raid mode. This makes good on Capcom's earlier promise to deliver the feature sometime in March following the release of the fourth and final episode.

The update is now available for the PS3, PS4, Xbox 360, and PC versions of Revelations 2. According to the Capcom Unity blog, the Xbox One version "is taking a little more time to complete, but it should be up and running shortly."

Other changes in today's update include increased difficulty for Raid mode's Code Red stages and a news feed in the main menu that offers information from Resident Evil's official website.

Online Raid mode was initially intended to be part of the game right away, but ended up being delayed in January. Until now, the mode has only been playable solo or with a partner in local split-screen mode--unless you were playing on PC, in which case split-screen (for the campaign and Raid mode) was left out. That resulted in modders patching in local multiplayer support, which in turn prompted Capcom to release a beta version of the feature that it continues to work on.
