Need more Resident Evil 4 in your life? How does a new Story arc and update sound?
Rolling out to Resident Evil 4 copies around the globe today are a couple of rather tasty new additions. You see, good old Capcom are adding to the already brilliant base game with a new Separate Ways story mode, alongside that of a free update to The Mercenaries.
A new tale and update
Whilst many will wait for the Resident Evil 4 VR Mode addition later this winter, for those of us away from PSVR 2, it’s all about the narrative addition. Separate Ways explores another side of the reawakened tale, following Ada Wong on a clandestine mission that reunites the agent with Leon S. Kennedy during his search for the president’s missing daughter.
In Separate Ways, Ada is found travelling to a lonely and rural part of Europe. Her hope is 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.”
This operation intertwines with Leon’s search for the president’s missing daughter, providing an alternate perspective on the main story that uncovers events that unfold behind the scenes.
A grappling gun
Alongside the highly acclaimed gunplay, combat, and knife mechanics of Resident Evil 4, Separate Ways further introduces an additional feature to the experience. This promises to take 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.
Sounds good huh? Well, there’s more and alongside those story beats comes a free update for The Mercenaries. This adds in Ada Wong and Albert Wesker as playable characters for the popular bonus mode.
