Keep a close eye on the PlayStation Store this Thursday, guys. Insomniac’s getting ready to drop some DLC bombs for Resistance 2.

The DLC will consist of a free patch and some paid additional content. The patch will add a enw multiplayer mode called Meltdown as well as a new difficulty setting called Superhuman, an ultra-hard mode for the game’s co-op campaigns that removes the standard mode’s auto-revive feature.

Patch 1.50 will also allow another player to sign in for local co-op using his or her own PSN profile. LittleBigPlanet supports a similar feature, but Resistance 2‘s will actually let the second player save his accumulated scores, information, gaming XP, etc. Is this more confirmation for the next PS3 firmware update? Looks like it.

The paid content, on the other hand, is made up of the US$ 5.99 Aftermath map pack focusing on more intimate, smaller scale battles and a number of new skins that can be downloaded for US$ 0.99 each.
