2016 is definitely a good year for fans of the Resident Evil series. Not only Capcom has finally announced a new main entry of the series, called Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, but has also released Resident Evil 6 and Resident Evil 5 on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, complete with enhanced graphics and features that were only available in the PC releases. A few hours ago, Capcom has finally confirmed when PlayStation 4 and Xbox One owners will be able to enjoy what is considered as one of the best entries of the whole series.
Resident Evil 4 will finally hit PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in all regions in a little over a month, on August 30th, complete with all the features that have been added to the game following the original GameCube release such as side stories, Mercenaries Mode and New Game Plus.
This current release of Resident Evil 4 on PS4 and Xbox One includes all the bonus content from the original game, as well as additional features that were added in later versions. The mysterious and elusive Ada Wong stars in her own side story, which fills in intriguing story gaps from Leon’s mission. Mercenaries Mode – the addicting evolution of RE3’s bonus mode – is awarded to players who complete the campaign, providing hours of replayability and lets fans play as Wesker, Hunk, and more iconic characters. RE4 also boasts some of the most satisfying New Game Plus action ever, allowing players to bring their powerful arsenal, unlocked costumes, and other secret weapons into a fresh playthrough. Want to focus on yourself instead of protecting Ashley? Equip her with the knight armor costume and laugh as enemy’s attempt to attack her or carry her off with futility. Leon’s Chicago Typewriter – an insanely powerful Tommy Gun – also provides a fun power trip if you have enough cash to give the infamous Merchant.
Resident Evil 4 launches on PlayStation 4 and Xbox One on August 30th in all regions.
