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

　　As said, the new update adds support for the new story paid expansion featuring fan-favorite Ada Wong and she plays through the events of the game from her own perspective. In addition, this new update includes various bug fixes, although new details about these 'fixes' have been shared. The update also adds new stages and characters for the game 'The Mercenaries' free mode. "Balancing adjustments have been made to scoring, item drops, and time bonus rates for existing characters", the official patch notes read.

　　Back in March of this year, dataminers found additional details about the 'Separate Ways' DLC as well as The Mercenaries mode in the game files. This content was clearly missing from the game upon launch. Last week, during Sony's State of Play event, Capcom officially announced the arrival of the DLC featuring Ada Wong. We've included the announcement trailer below:

　　“Separate Ways tells the story of Ada Wong and her parallel journey through the events of Resident Evil 4, filling in unanswered questions from the main story. The full story will be revealed as you view both sides of events from both Ada and Leon’s viewpoints.

　　Ada Wong clutches a mysterious vial. With her back to the camera, Ada Wong stands atop a wall, looking out over the surroundings below. Before Leon S. Kennedy had even set foot in that cursed village, she was already there. Her mission? The retrieval of the cult’s darkest secret -- the Amber.

　　Now Ada must deal with an unknown threat that is devouring her from within, an accomplice with a dark past and ulterior motives, and a chance reunion with the man she least expected -- Leon S. Kennedy. Why did she accept this mission? And what path will she make for herself in the shadow of Leon’s investigation into the abduction of the president’s daughter?”

　　Resident Evil 4 is available globally now for PlayStation, Xbox, and PC.
