Fans of the originalResident Evil 4may be pleased to learn that datamined evidence points to the return of a fan-favorite story mode coming to the recently-released remake. WhileResident Evil 4has already been well-received, fans of the series lamented the lack of certain modes in the game. However, it seems that Capcom may amend the issue over time.Currently, theResident Evil 4remake is missing a few thingsand modes that were available in the original release. For example, the timed combat mode, The Mercenaries, isn’t available to play, nor are Ada Wong’s side campaigns, Separate Ways and Assignment: Ada. Capcom has already revealed that The Mercenaries will be added toResident Evil 4in the near future, but has remained quiet about Ada’s story modes.RELATED:Resident Evil 4 Remake Comparison Video Reveals How the Game Runs on PS5 and Xbox Series X/SNow, datamined information has come to light that strongly suggests that Ada Wong’s Separate Ways campaign is in the works. Data miner Gosetsu shared the information with the web, revealing that they had discovered a series of folders in the PC version of the files. These folders include “Chainsaw,” “Mercenaries,” and “Another Order.” “Chainsaw” likely refers to the demo of the same name that was released prior to the game’s launch, and Mercenaries is quite obvious. However, Another Order is what points to Ada’s campaign.
For those who may not have been aware, the Separate Ways campaign from Capcom’s 2005Resident Evil 4was originally titled “The Another Order.” While there’s a slim chance that the folder may be left in the game’s files following a cancelation of the mode, it’s fairly unlikely. Capcom seems to be well aware of thelegendary status of the originalResident Evil 4, and has carefully crafted the remake to meet fans' expectations.
Even if Capcom had been previously unaware of the popularity of the extra modes inResident Evil 4, it would have recently gotten a wake-up call. TheVR version ofResident Evil 4also shipped without Mercenaries, and fans were vocal about missing the mode. It was later brought back as DLC. On the other hand, though, Ada’s campaigns were never brought to the Meta Quest 2 version ofResident Evil 4. That may have ultimately been a decision that Meta and Armature Studio made, though.
Ada Wonghas been a mysterious character throughout the franchise, with the original side stories inResident Evil 4serving as a rare opportunity to get a deeper glimpse into her character. With any luck, these files indicate that Capcom will be giving players another chance to play as the elegant spy in the near future.
Resident Evil 4is available now for PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X/S.
