Resident Evil 4 Remake Mercenaries mode has been released a day early in some regions and players are voicing their disappointment over “missing” characters and levels. There’s also the introduction of pay-to-win DLC that’s causing some concern too.
Resident Evil 4 Remake Mercenaries mode launch content
Mercenaries mode is apparently launching tomorrow, April 7, with four characters: Leon, Luis, Krauser, and HUNK. There will also be three levels, which are Village, Castle, and the Island according to gameplay footage found by ResetEra.
A previous datamine had revealed the mode would have six characters as well as four levels. Ada Wong and Albert Wesker are the two missing characters from Resident Evil 4’s Mercenaries mode, while Leon was also expected to have an alternate costume. Disappointed that this content is missing, fans are now hoping it will be released alongside the rumored Separate Ways DLC.
Another issue for those players is that new DLC has appeared on the PlayStation Store in the form of Weapon Upgrade Ticket bundles. These tickets can be redeemed at any time at the Merchant’s shop in exchange for a weapon’s exclusive upgrade and can be purchased far in excess of the two already available to earn in the game’s campaign. It’s worth noting, though, that these tickets can’t be used in Mercenaries mode and will not be allowed to affect the leaderboards.
