Online multiplayer modes coming to Resident Evil 5 by way of DLC

Competitive multiplayer in Resident Evil 5? Uh, how? Honestly, the logistics of the whole thing are completely beyond my understanding, but apparently it’s going to happen eventually.

Capcom has given us a glimpse (whether on purpose or not is up for debate) of RE5‘s downloadable content future, and it’s looking very focused on multiplayer. Specifically, the modes Slayers, Survivors, Team Slayers, Team Survivors, and Versus were revealed through Trophies for the PlayStation 3 version of the game.

You can check out the Trophies after the break, and join me in wondering how exactly this is going to work. I simply can’t envision it yet. Perhaps some concrete info and/or pictures might help me along, Capcom?
