Expansion DLC for one of the summer’s blockbuster games, the very excellent Resident Evil 4 remake, is finally upon us and much sooner than you might think.
The Separate Ways campaign will release as DLC alongside a free update including fan-favorite mode The Mercenaries on Sept. 21, the developers have confirmed alongside news the long-awaited VR mode will also be arriving in winter.
The news comes out of today’s PlayStation State of Play Showcase and judging by reactions from Resident Evil fans there’s a lot of excitement for more RE4. The remastered game currently sits at a comfortable 93 on trusted review aggregation webpage Metacritic, just three points behind the original 2005 release.
The Resident Evil 2 remake recently became the best-selling game in the long-standing franchise but RE4 has plenty of time to catch up. And with these three huge expansions on the way it’s safe to say RE4 will continue to be a top draw for fans across all platforms.
This is especially true for PSVR2 owners as there has been a relative drought of releases for the device. Sony remains tight-lipped about first-party VR content. Besides the RE4 VR mode, they did show off Ghostbusters: Rise of the Ghost Lord, which arrives in time for Halloween this year, on Thursday, Oct. 26.
It is, however, not a PSVR2 exclusive and will share a launch on Meta Quest.
Also included in the showcase were close looks at upcoming games like Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth, and Helldivers sequel release.
