Unlocked after finishing the main campaign and updating to version 1.300.000, the mode sends Leon through 20 permadeath levels with random enemies, weapons and branching paths.
The roguelike-style extra game removes cutscenes, ends with a Victor boss fight and lets players spend campaign completion points on unlockable items.
