The newly released downloadable content adds the much-requested Mercenaries mode, which focuses on fast-paced arcade action across all of the game’s different locations. Any player who owns the standard edition of the Resident Evil 4 remake will have access to this downloadable content.
In the Mercenaries game mode, your objective is to string together as many successful attacks as you can in order to achieve the maximum possible score. The clock will continue to run down as you play, but racking up kills and keeping your combo going will add more time to the clock. You are able to take control of many of the game’s most popular characters, including Leon, Luis, Krauser, and Hunk, when you play Mercenaries. There is a possibility that additional characters will be added at a later time.
You will be transported to several levels in the Village, the Castle, and the Island as you play through this mode, giving you the opportunity to relive particular moments from the main game. Are you able to achieve the highest possible rank at every stage?
Mercenaries were also playable in the first release of Resident Evil 4, but their roles have been significantly expanded in the 2023 remake. In addition, there was a version of Mercenaries that could be played in Resident Evil Village. This version had a large number of playable characters and stages from the main game.
Along with the news that Resident Evil 4 had sold more than 4 million copies, developer Capcom released a downloadable content pack called Mercenaries. Not only has the game been successful commercially, but it has also been favorably received by critics.
