In case you haven’t picked Resident Evil 4 up, go read our review here where we state, “If it’s even possible, Capcom has made an already excellent game even better, and as it stands now, Resident Evil 4 remake is now the gold standard when it comes to remakes.”

Update: More details have been added courtesy of Capcom.

• Separate Ways will cost $9.99 as DLC for Resident Evil 4 (base game required)
• Free Mercenaries update will add Ada Wong and Albert Wesker to the mode
• Resident Evil 4 VR Mode is planned for a winter release as free DLC for PlayStation VR2

Synopsis of Separate Ways:

In Separate Ways, Ada Wong travels to a lonely and rural part of Europe to infiltrate a village controlled by the religious group known as Los Iluminados. Under orders from Albert Wesker, Ada is assigned to obtain the cult’s darkest secret: a mysterious material known as “the Amber.” Her operation intertwines with Leon S. Kennedy’s search for the president’s missing daughter, providing an alternate perspective on the main story that uncovers events that unfold behind the scenes.

Alongside the highly acclaimed gunplay, combat, and knife mechanics of Resident Evil 4, Separate Ways introduces an additional feature to the experience that takes the fast-paced action to exciting new heights. For this exhilarating mission, Ada is armed with a Grappling Gun that can be used to swing across chasms, make rapid ascents, and plunge into the depths below. She can also wield the device in combat to take on enemies in close quarters and launch into melee takedowns from a distance.

Once the update is live, we’ll let our readers know ASAP.
