News: New content that will answer some of your questions from the campaign is now available.

New content is now available in Resident Evil 4 with the Separate Ways downloadable content. Separate Ways reveals Ada Wong’s side of the story, following the mysterious agent on a secret mission that intertwines with Leon S. Kennedy’s search for the president’s missing daughter. Ada’s adventure takes the survival horror action of Resident Evil 4 to new heights with new gameplay mechanics that deliver an even more exciting and fast-paced experience.

In addition to the arrival of the Separate Ways DLC, new content for The Mercenaries launches today. This free update for the popular extra game mode is available now for all owners of Resident Evil 4 and welcomes Ada Wong and her notorious employer Albert Wesker to the roster of playable characters.

Separate Ways reimagines and builds upon the bonus content from the original game to deliver an expanded new adventure. The story sees the enigmatic Ada Wong infiltrate the European village controlled by Los Iluminados under orders from Albert Wesker to seize the group’s darkest secret: a powerful substance known as “the Amber.” This dangerous assignment leads to an unexpected reunion with Leon S. Kennedy, presenting another perspective on the game’s narrative that answers lingering questions from the main campaign. Ada’s covert journey runs in parallel with Leon’s rescue operation and explores the shadowy events that unfold behind the scenes, revealing the full scope of the story.

The gameplay of Resident Evil 4 returns in Separate Ways, empowering players to overcome the horrors that await with precise firearms, intense knife combat, stealth attacks, finishing moves, and more. Separate Ways also introduces a new feature that takes the game’s fast-paced action to a whole new level. Ada can now wield her signature Grappling Gun in battle to launch into melee takedowns from a distance. She can also employ this versatile tool to traverse vast distances and surmount obstacles that would otherwise be impassable.

The Separate Ways DLC is out now for $9.99 USD. Resident Evil 4 is also on sale for a limited time, currently available at a 34% discount for $39.59, making now a great time for newcomers to experience state-of-the-art survival horror.

Resident Evil 4 VR Mode is also set to unleash the game’s full main campaign on PlayStation VR2 this winter as free DLC. This immersive experience brings the action up close and personal and delivers heightened realism with its intuitive PlayStation VR2 Sense controls. Players can also look forward to experiencing Resident Evil 4 on the latest Apple devices when it arrives later this year on iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 15 Pro Max, and every iPad and Mac equipped with the M1 chip or later.

Separate Ways, the highly anticipated story DLC, is now available for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
