Resident Evil 4's Best Version Is Getting Free Mercenaries Mode
Publisher Capcom and developer Armature Studio have announced that Resident Evil 4 VR is receiving a free update later this year that will officially add the fan-favorite Mercenaries game mode to the title. The VR version of the popular Resident Evil 4 was officially released in October 2021, and it allows players to re-experience the classic survival horror title from an all-new first-person perspective. Despite its gameplay remaining largely unchanged when compared to its original counterpart from 2005 and HD remasters, Resident Evil 4 VR censored and removed suggestive and offensive dialogue from the game, as well as any inappropriate animations revolving around the character of Ashley Graham.
The Mercenaries mode is an arcade-style mini-game that first appeared inResident Evil 3 and grew to popularity with Resident Evil 4. It featured distinctive levels and several popular characters from the series with unique attributes, weapons, items, and melee attacks. Its gameplay is heavily based on Time Attack Mode, in which players are tasked with obtaining the highest score by killing as many enemies as possible before the timer runs out. Mercenaries mode made a comeback to Resident Evil almost a decade later in Resident Evil: Village. Village's The Mercenaries mode brings back its arcade-style features but drastically changes the mechanics to allow more fluidity in gameplay and pacing due to the title being in first-person mode.
