Discover when The Mercenaries mode releases for Resident Evil 4 (Remake), which characters are playable, and if there's any co-op support. Get the details here!
Hey there! So, you're curious about The Mercenaries mode in the Resident Evil 4 Remake? It's a blast from the past, and while it didn't launch right away, it's totally free and available now! It dropped on April 7th, 2023, as a free update, so you just need to download that and you'll see it right on the main menu. No extra cost, just pure Mercenaries action!
You might be wondering about the characters, and yeah, they've brought back a bunch of fan favorites, plus added a new face. Here's who you can play as:
- Leon S. Kennedy (he's got two different loadouts/costumes!)
- Ada Wong (also two loadouts, but she wasn't available at launch)
- Hunk
- Jack Krauser
- Albert Wesker (he also wasn't available at launch)
- Luis Sera (this is a brand new addition for the remake!)
It's pretty cool that Luis is in the mix, and Wesker is always a fan favorite. Get ready to try them all out!
Now, about co-op – a lot of people ask about this. Since The Mercenaries is all about getting the best score against the clock, it makes sense to wonder if you can team up. Unfortunately, the answer is no. Capcom decided to stick close to the original game's Mercenaries mode and didn't include co-op this time around. It's a bummer, I know, but who knows, maybe they'll add it later down the line. We haven't heard anything concrete, unlike the rumors about a Separate Ways DLC for Ada.
