One of the most requested additions to the new Resident Evil 4 Remake was the separate campaign following the perspective of super spy Ada Wong during the Los Illuminados incident - and that is finally coming to PC and consoles as Capcom formally announced the “Separate Ways” DLC with a launch trailer showing the path Leon’s on/ off love interest takes to secure “The Amber” for her employer, Albert Wesker.
The DLC will cost $9.99 for PlayStation, Xbox, and Steam users, while “The Mercenaries” gets a free update with Ada and Wesker added as playable characters.
In what should come as no surprise to fans of the series and those who were expecting hype and a great remake to boot, Capcom has officially reported that the Resident Evil 4 remake has sold over three million units in the first two days of release! That's another impressive feat for the franchise, and an expected result considering the game is a long awaited reimagining and modernization of what is considered to be one of the greatest and most influential games of all time!
Resident Evil 4 is now available for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, and PC!

Resident Evil fans better prepare to save up their wallets when March of next year hits, as Capcom shows off more of their upcoming remake of “Resident Evil 4” - which retains the same story of special agent Leon S. Kennedy going to a rural part of Spain to rescue the president’s daughter from the Los Illuminados and their viral monstrosities caused by the “Las Plagas” virus.
As seen in the recently concluded Resident Evil Showcase event, a brand new gameplay trailer was released - showing off a darker and more terrifying adventure that’ll require more CQC style defensive moves and attacks in Leon’s arsenal that he’ll need to survive in this mission.
A second trailer was also unveiled after the gameplay trailer showcase.
Of course, RE fans that want to go to the extreme and get this game with a special package can avail of a brand new and stunninh collector's edition - which features a statue of Leon S. Kennedy wearing the jacket and holding a shotgun.

It’s the game that changed a generation and redefined one of Capcom’s most popular video game franchises for better or for worse, but on this weekend 15 years ago - Resident Evil 4, or Biohazard 4 as it is known in its native Japan, was released first on the Nintendo GameCube - bringing back Resident Evil 2 protagonist Leon S. Kennedy as a special ops government agent and deployed on a mission to save the US President’s daughter Ashley Graham from a group of cultists known as the “Los Illuminados”.
Resident Evil 4 Demo Gameplay (Nintendo GameCube)
Initially made as an exclusive to the system, Capcom eventually made RE4 for other systems - first porting it to the PlayStation 2 the following year and then having subsequent re-releases on other platforms and next generations consoles thereafter. The game became one of the best-selling video games of its generation, and changed the RE franchise from “Survival Horror” to “Survival Action” - focusing more on the “Run and Gun” part and making Leon shoot “over the shoulder” and putting an emphasis on “Quick Time Events” during gameplay and cutscenes.
So let’s raise a toast this game - one of the best and definitely a game Capcom will always find a way to release again - even today on the Nintendo Switch! It’s third person gameplay influenced several shooters, and even the Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes owe a lot to the path started by this game! Happy Anniversary, Resident Evil 4!
