S.T.A.R.S. in their eyes
Today sees the start of asurprising crossoverbetween two popular franchises, as Capcom’sResident Eviltips its decayed hat to Ubisoft’s team-shooterThe Division 2. Strange bedfellows indeed… and this isn’t even the weirdestDivisioncrossover you’ll read about this week…
The event – part ofResident Evil’s25th anniversary celebrations – offersDivision 2’sWarlords of New York a limited opportunity to bag a range of classic costumes and other accessories recognizable from the formative days of the survival horror franchise. Up for grabs are skins based on the uniforms of original Resi heroes Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, and Rebecca Chambers, as well as the tactical gear worn by Umbrella’s ill-fated strike team.
Also available are a hideous mask replicating the look ofResident Evil 3’sNemesis, alongside a selection of backpack trophies based on notable icons such as Ink Ribbons, T-Virus vials, and even a Jill Sandwich. A new slew of arm patches sport the logos of S.T.A.R.S., Umbrella Corp. and the Raccoon City Police Department. Speaking of which, all players will unlock aResident Evil 2Leon Kennedy skin just for logging in.
All of the above items are purchasable throughThe Division 2store or via the gathering of in-game Apparel Keys, which can then be used in exchange for randomized event caches. TheResident Evilcrossover gear will be available until February 15, which gives players around a fortnight to bag their desired content. For full details, check out theofficialDivision 2blog.
