The Separate Ways” DLC for the Resident Evil 4 remake finally got its reveal last week from Capcom. And with its release this Thursday, Capcom has unveiled the launch trailer for the Ada Wong-centered story.

Per Capcom’s press release, “Separate Ways” explores another side of the Resident Evil 4 remake, following Ada Wong on a clandestine mission that reunites the agent with Leon S. Kennedy during his search for the president’s missing daughter. Alongside the release of “Separate Ways,” a free update for “The Mercenaries” DLC will go live the same day, introducing Ada Wong and her notorious employer Albert Wesker as playable characters for the popular bonus mode.

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.

Resident Evil 4 is out now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series. Meanwhile, the anticipated VR Mode for Resident Evil 4 will arrive this Winter.

Update 1.5 Arrives for ‘Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night’ Starting May 9; New DLC Announced

Published

on

ArtPlay and 505 Games have announced the final update for Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will arrive on PC via Steam and GOG, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on May 9, while Switch users will be getting it on May 16. Version 1.5 will add two new game modes “Chaos Mode” and “Versus Mode” (which were hinted at last year) and one free cosmetic pack. There will also be three premium DLC cosmetic packs launching alongside the update.

Both new modes add local and online co-op play to Bloodstained, allowing players to team up with a friend or be matched with other players on the same system. Sadly, no cross-platform play will be included.

Chaos Mode adds a survival mode where players must fight through a series of randomized rooms to defeat demons and bosses. Completing challenges before each boss will grant players powerful upgrades.

Meanwhile, Versus Mode pits players against one another, where they will enter a room and have successive waves of demons attacking them. Defeating the demons will grant you souls, which can be spent at the central statue (shop) to upgrade your weapons, armor or items. You will also be able to purchase attacks that will negatively affect your opponent, such as reversing their controls or filling their room with fog. The player who survives the longest wins.

More details on each game mode will be revealed when they go live.

And just because Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night will be getting its final update this month doesn’t mean that the DLC will end. ArtPlay has also teased a premium DLC pack is also being developed, entitled Classic Mode II: Dominique’s Curse. This DLC will continue the same retro-gameplay as the previous Classic Mode DLC, but with a bigger map and its own storyline. More info on this will be revealed at a later date.
