Update: The achievement in question has just gone live on the Xbox One version of Resident Evil 2, and due to the way that system works for the team in green, we can confidently say that some sort of downloadable content isn't too far off. An image is associated with every earnable achievement on the console, which can be then used as a home screen wallpaper, and this trinket is no different.
As you can see just below, the picture earned after unlocking the Chasing Jill achievement is one of the lady herself and Robert Kendo from Resident Evil 2. Something is definitely on its way at The Game Awards, but could this be some sort of playable demo or a scenario which links the two games together? We're looking forward to finding out later tonight.
Original story: Remember that Steam achievement which randomly popped up in the PC version of Resident Evil 2? Well, the trinket has finally revealed itself as something to do with Jill Valentine. It hasn't appeared in the PlayStation 4 edition of the game just yet, but it's very likely that at least an update is on its way. An entire piece of DLC? We hope so.
As you can see below, the achievement clearly relates to Jill Valentine from yesterday's newly announced Resident Evil 3. It asks players to complete the following task: "Read a letter left behind by Jill." To our knowledge, there is no such file currently in the game signed by the lady herself, so for this achievement to become claimable, an update will need to add something to the title. Whether this literally is just a file for fans to read as part of a new playthrough or a new playable piece of the game in the form of DLC remains to be seen.
The Game Awards host Geoff Keighley has claimed that Resident Evil 3 won't play a single part in the show tomorrow night, but he didn't rule out its predecessor. If such a reveal is attached to this achievement, expect it to arrive on the Los Angeles stage.

I think it’s a big shame they didn’t take the chance to link the games together a bit more. Some glimpses of Jill going about her thing during Resi 2, for example.
I will be all over DLC
I've just started replaying Resident Evil 2 so hopefully this is added in soon.
Hopefully they add some story DLC to help with the wait for RE3.
Zombie fingers crossed.
Jill's letter,
"Buy Resident Evil 3, out April 2020!"
@kyleforrester87 That Would Be Pretty Hard Considering Jill Was Out Of Commission During Resident Evil 2 One Thing They Could Have Shown You Was The leftover Destruction Nemesis Caused While He Was Chasing Jill through the police Station
@Areus there is an overlap, and they could have got creative - they’ve changed plenty of other parts of the game
@kyleforrester87 That They Did You Used To Be Able To Find Brad Outside The Police station They Took Him Out of the Remake
It's probably just some cross save mechanic where if you play RE3 remake and then go back to play RE2 remake the cross save will add a note to RE2 remake that the player can read and receive an achievement/trophy.
The title of the news says "Achievememt"
Awesome, but kinda sucks that while RE2 is recieving another DLC, Devil May Cry 5 on the other hand gets its DLCs cancelled.
I've always hoped they'd flesh out his story a little bit more, hopefully there's a bit to play and not just finding a note
Every modern game has DLC now I don't get surprised anymore.
I am ashamed to say it but I am to scared to play it Played the originals tho and completed them back in the PS1 days.
I really wanted to love RE2, but I wasn't a fan of the puzzles.
Perhaps there will eventually be a RE2 complete/gold edition or maybe even a RE2/RE3 combined package.
@Carl-G thats what makes it good
@LiamCroft it's now on the PS4 version under a section called Another Survivor, so it'll definitely be playable dlc probably similar to one of the ghost survivors modes
@badbob001 all the playable dlc has been free so far so what would be the point?
The scene of Kendo and his daughter in RE2 was really emotional, largely thanks to the very good voice acting and mo-cap. Loved it.
Take my money!!
In all seriousness, Capcom do right by their customers consistently and make excellent games.
@SoulsBourne128 yeah I thought it was very odd that there was no DLC. Did it not sell well? I assumed it did.
