Fans of the original game will remember The Mercenaries challenge mode, which let players assume the role of Leon as well as the game’s supporting cast to take on hordes of enemies in a time-limited challenge. While Ada Wong, Albert Wesker, HUNK, and Krauser were all playable in The Mercenaries when the mode was first released, major supporting character Luis Serra was notably omitted from the mode.
That seems to have changed with the Resident Evil 4 remake’s version of The Mercenaries, which not gives Leon a new gangster outfit and Ada a Chinese dress, but is quite likely to also make Luis a playable character in the mode for the first time in the game’s history. Check out the alternate outfits as well as the renders for each character datamined from the game below:
Additionally, references to the Ada-featuring “Separate Ways” DLC were found in the remake in yesterday’s datamine, though the release of the DLC has not been confirmed yet. However, The Mercenaries is set for an April 7 release as a free post-launch update.
