Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways Reveals New Details on Ada’s Grappling Gun, Albert Wesker, and More

Resident Evil 4's DLC add-on Separate Ways is a meaningful extension that makes an already phenomenal game feel even more complete.

This year's Resident Evil 4 is one of the greatest remakes of all time, but purists — or at least those who had already played the PS2 version — will tell you it was still missing something. When the Nintendo GameCube original was ported to Sony's second home system, it came bundled with new campaigns all about side character Ada Wong. Separate Ways was the most important of the bunch, and six months after the PS5, PS4 remake's release, it's back as DLC for Capcom's newest masterpiece. 18 years later, it has the same effect: Separate Ways meaningfully expands the Resident Evil 4 story and provides a tantalising reason to return to one of the best games ever.

When Capcom released its slick remake of Resident Evil 4 in March, it felt like something was missing. The action survival-horror game was a robust package, but some memorable moments had been excised from the GameCube original. With Separate Ways, a new add-on starring enigmatic super spy Ada Wong, Resident Evil 4 feels complete — and then some.

As fantastic as Resident Evil 4’s remake is, one of the most conspicuous absences from its original release was Ada Wong’s side story – it was such a key part of the HD version of the original game, after all. Thankfully, in this age of delays and over-hype, we haven’t had to wait too long for Capcom to complete the story, and the quality and replayability of this version of Separate Ways has been well worth the wait.

The Separate Ways DLC for the Resident Evil 4 remake is out and is yet another home run for Capcom. It expands on the original concept by further fleshing out Ada and Luis’s roles in the base game. It also properly reintroduces Albert Wesker into the series as Ada’s client.

The Separate Ways DLC releases alongside another update for Resident Evil 4 Remake, adding a new stage and three new characters to Mercenaries Mode. Finally, you’ll be able to play as Ada Wong and Wesker in Mercenaries, blasting swarms of villagers and utilizing their unique abilities to rack up thousands of points. After downloading the update, Ada Wong will be unlocked automatically. But, there’s an alternate Ada you can unlock alongside the all-powerful Wesker.

Resident Evil fans are shocked at the many brutal ways that Ada Wong can be killed in the Separate Ways DLC for Resident Evil 4's remake, with one even being a reference to the laser room from the 2002 movie.

Capcom has released a new Resident Evil 4 update across all platforms today, adding support for today's "Separate Ways" DLC, and more.

Pretty much since the remake of Resident Evil 4 was released in March (yes, it’s been six months since it launched), fans have been clamoring for the “Separate Ways” DLC. The upcoming expansion was confirmed during Sony’s State of Play, and now a new trailer has been doing the rounds.

Back when Resident Evil 4 Remake launched, many of use were quick to dive in and see exactly what Capcom had changed compared to the original. Some were slightly bummed out that Capcom decided to remove a lot of the goofier elements, including all of the quick time events, the chase scene with Salazar's big concrete robot, and the infamous laser corridor scene which had Leon doing backflips and other acrobatics to avoid being sliced up.

Revealed just last week during Sony's State of Play presentation, Resident Evil 4: Separate Ways is heading our way very soon indeed. This DLC add-on for the excellent remake recounts Ada Wong's perspective on the story, and the agent brings some new gameplay dynamics to the survival horror title.

While most suspected it was coming, last week Capcom officially announced a new version Resident Evil 4 Separate Ways, the side story featuring Ada Wong from the original version of the game, would be launching this week. That initial announcement didn’t include much gameplay, but now Capcom has delivered a launch trailer full of juicy moments.
