People who really like Resident Evil 4 have been paying close attention to changes happening in the PC version of the game. Some recent updates have made them think that there might be new extra content (DLC) coming out soon.
These updates happened on September 4th and 5th and were more significant than usual. The company that makes the game, Capcom, hasn’t said anything about DLC, but fans are still hoping that they might release something like the Separate Ways story or even more stuff in the future.
What’s New in the Latest Resident Evil 4 Updates?
First, let me say that similar updates have happened before, and they made people think the same things, but no DLCs were added to the game back then. But this time, the updates are really big, so people are guessing again. The updates themselves are not as clear or interesting as the notes you see when a game gets updated. They happened over two days.
SteamDB, a website that keeps track of game changes, noticed these updates this week. They even made a list of all the new stuff added to the game. Below, you can see a picture from SteamDB that shows a few changes made on September 5th.
Capcom released new Resident Evil games for PC, like Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil Village. But there haven’t been any recent updates or changes to these games. Something different is happening only with Resident Evil 4.
Resident Evil 4 DLC: Possible Release Date
So, what new DLCs are people waiting for in Resident Evil 4, and when will we find out about it? Well, one thing people are hoping for is DLC (extra content) for the game. One of the DLCs folks are looking forward to is called “Separate Ways.”
It was added to the GameCube version of the game and could be played after you finished the main story. But strangely, it wasn’t included in the remake of the game. In this DLC, you get to play Ada Wong, and it shows what she was up to during the times when she wasn’t with Leon in Resident Evil 4.
In the original game, there are three extra things you can play: Assignment Ada, Mercenaries Mode, and Separate Ways. But in the remake, they already put Mercenaries Mode in it.
Separate Ways is the more complicated extra thing compared to Assignment Ada. People were worried that they might have to pay for Separate Ways, even though Mercenaries Mode was free.
We don’t know exactly when they’ll announce the DLC, but there’s a big gaming event called the Tokyo Game Show happening from September 21st to September 24th.
Capcom, the company that makes the games, will be there. They’ve said they’ll talk about a game called Resident Evil 4, especially its cool virtual reality mode for the PlayStation 5. We’re not sure if they’ll tell us about any extra DLC for the game, though.
