‘Resident Evil 4 VR’ Coming This Winter, “Separate Ways” DLC Arrives September 21 [Trailer]
Patience comes to those who wait. Capcom finally pulled the trigger and announced that Resident Evil 4 VR will be coming to the PlayStation VR2 this Winter. Even better, after the rumours, the “Separate Ways” DLC has been revealed to be coming next week on September 21! The VR Mode will be a free add-on for the PlayStation 5, while “Separate Ways” will cost $9.99.
“Separate Ways” explores another side of the acclaimed 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” will go live the same day, introducing Ada Wong and Albert Wesker as playable characters for the 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.
