Resident Evil 4 ’s new remake will get a boost of free content with the addition of The Mercenaries mode on April 7 , but it appears that there will be another adventure coming to Capcom’s modernized survival horror game. A datamine of the game’s PC version indicates that the Separate Ways DLC that Capcom released for earlier versions of Resident Evil 4 may be coming to the remake as well.

According to a tweet from Resident Evil Central , members of the Resident Evil Wiki Discord community have dug up a reference to Separate Ways — or rather, The Another Order , as the add-on was known in Japan — in Resident Evil 4 ’s PC files.

Separate Ways is an unlockable expansion for Resident Evil 4 that gives players control of Ada Wong on her journey, which frequently intersects with Leon S. Kennedy and Luis Serra during the events of the main campaign. In the original incarnation of Separate Ways , Ada performs actions like ringing the church bell that ends the village’s attack on Leon, as well as preventing Leon’s death at the hands of Jack Krauser and securing the rocket launcher that Leon uses in the game’s final battle. (The original Resident Evil 4 also had a separate playable chapter named “Assignment: Ada,” during which Ada secures plaga samples for Albert Wesker.)

[ Warning: The following contains light spoilers for the end of Resident Evil 4 ’s remake.]

The Resident Evil 4 remake itself makes a pretty clear allusion to Separate Ways during an endgame conversation between Leon and Ada. It’s not very subtle!

Capcom has not announced plans for downloadable content for Resident Evil 4 beyond April’s The Mercenaries update. Still, Capcom has released post-launch story content for the most recent mainline Resident Evil games. 2017’s Resident Evil 7 Biohazard received multiple major add-ons, including the episodes Not A Hero starring Chris Redfield and End of Zoe featuring a playable Joe Baker. Resident Evil Village received story-based DLC Shadows of Rose last year, letting players take on the role of Rose Winters.

Separate Ways could serve as a home to more than just fleshing out RE4 ’s story and Ada Wong’s involvement in game events. It could also serve as a home to cut content, like the battle against U-3. While that creature doesn’t appear in the main game, the remake references U-3 in its collectible files.

Resident Evil 4 is out now on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows PC, and Xbox Series X. If you’re desperate to play as Ada Wong now, there’s a popular PC mod that swaps her model in for Leon’s . It’s no-frills, but it does offer players a chance to gaze upon Ada for the full length of RE4 ’s campaign if, for some inexplicable reason, looking at Leon S. Kennedy just isn’t your bag.

The next level of puzzles.

Baldur's Gate 3 Gets One Of Gaming's Most Iconic Weapons

Cyberpunk 2077 player finds a way to date every romanceable character at once, honkai star rail 2.2: should you pull for robin or topaz (pros & cons).

The remake of Resident Evil 4 has been released to an overall positive reception, and the game has also set itself up well for future DLC. As a modernized take on one of the Resident Evil franchise's most beloved classic entries, the Resident Evil 4 remake follows many of the same beats as the original game with a few surprising additions, following in the same vein as previous remakes for Resident Evil 2 and 3 .While Resident Evil 4 's remake is mostly faithful to the original, there are a few notable missing aspects from the 2005 classic. Some set pieces, sections, or boss fights have been shifted around or outright removed in the remake, although usually replaced by new or updated content, and as a whole, the game takes on a somewhat more serious tone (although it still retains much of the original's cheesy dialogue). Perhaps more notably, however, the remake's launch was missing some of the original's extra modes, like Resident Evil 4 's popular The Mercenaries mode, although this is coming to the game as free DLC shortly.

Resident Evil 4 Remake DLC Is (Probably) On The Way

Luckily, however, Resident Evil 4 's remake has positioned itself well for story-related DLC campaigns, in addition to the already-announced free Mercenaries DLC; with Separate Ways DLC being all but confirmed by data-mined files, as reported by Twitter user, @ResiEvilCentral . Other possible DLCs include Operation Javier , a story involving Leon and Krauser originally set in 2009's Wii spinoff Resident Evil: The Darkside Chronicles , and Assignment: Ada , a short mode taking place on the island section of Resident Evil 4 's main story. Of the three possible additions, however, Separate Ways has the most evidence supporting its eventual addition to the game.

Separate Ways Could Be A Second Story Campaign For RE4 Remake

Featuring Ada Wong as a playable character, the original Separate Ways is a bonus campaign following a storyline that proceeds parallel to the main story, filling in several gaps and showing Ada's role in assisting Leon at several points in the game. With files for Another Order (the original name for the campaign for Japanese releases) having been data mined from the Resident Evil 4 remake, it seems likely that the campaign is currently being developed as DLC, to be released at a later date. In a similar vein to Resident Evil Village 's Shadows of Rose DLC, Separate Ways is likely to offer significantly modified gameplay from the main story.

While the Separate Ways campaign still falls within the basic framework of the original Resident Evil 4 's gameplay, it presents some key changes. Compared to Leon in the main story, Ada is slightly faster, has different melee attacks, and a hookshot giving her access to a few different areas. However, reflecting the more contained nature of the campaign, its weapon selection is much more condensed, with the only available guns being a Blacktail pistol and a shotgun. Moreover, although the merchant is present in Separate Ways , the original bonus campaign opts to leave weapon upgrading out, meaning that Ada's arsenal stays at the same strength throughout.

With only five chapters, a limited selection of weapons, and the absence of the weapon upgrading system, a Separate Ways DLC for the Resident Evil 4 remake could do with some significant changes - especially if, unlike the original, it will come at additional cost. As a presumably paid DLC instead of a free bonus mode, Separate Ways would be due for some big expansions to its content, fleshing it out into a true parallel campaign to the Resident Evil 4 remake's main story. It remains to be seen what an updated Separate Ways could entail, but longer/more missions, additional weapons, and weapon upgrades could be a good start.

Operation Javier and Assignment: Ada DLCs Aren't Likely To Release

Compared to Separate Ways , however, DLC associated with Operation Javier or Assignment: Ada remains somewhat less likely. With no data mined files to support their eventual release, any evidence supporting them would have to come from the RE4 's remake itself. While vague allusions to Operation Javier have been integrated into the story of the remake, they seem mostly to exist to provide more backstory for Krauser, giving him character motivation he lacked in the original game, and strengthening his connection to Leon. While it can't be written off entirely, much of Operation Javier' s presence in the main game seems to serve as a way to better integrate Krauser as a third-act villain.

Moreover, the game that Operation Javier originates from, Darkside Chronicles, might present some challenges of its own in creating a potential Operation Javier DLC. Notably, Darkside Chronicles is a co-op rail shooter for the Wii, meaning that very little of its gameplay would be directly translatable to the gameplay of Resident Evil 4 Remake . With Leon and Krauser's relationship being both more fleshed-out and also somewhat changed in the remake, there isn't much need to further expand on it with an Operation Javier DLC - although it could, in theory, operate similarly to the remake's sections where Leon partners with Luis.

Finally, with the very likely release of Separate Ways , an Assignment: Ada DLC may just be redundant, being as it is both non-canon and even smaller in scope than the original RE4 's other bonus modes. If anything, it's more likely that any of Assignment: Ada' s more compelling ideas will simply be folded into a Separate Ways DLC, with the mode's hunt for plagas samples being a potential carryover. As a short bonus mode, offering the first instance of a playable Ada before Separate Way 's inclusion in later releases, Assignment: Ada is unlikely to be re-released as DLC for Resident Evil 4 's remake - especially with Separate Ways all but confirmed.

With some DLC for Resident Evil 4 's remake already confirmed, and potentially more on the way, there's plenty of room for the game to expand its content, perhaps even elaborating on its final boss and ending . With The Mercenaries already announced for April 7, one of the original game's most popular bonus modes is already guaranteed to be returning. And, although it has yet to be announced or confirmed by Capcom, data mines make a Separate Ways DLC for Resident Evil 4 's remake almost certain.

Does Resident Evil 4 Remake have Ada Wong's Separate Ways campaign?

Written by

In the original Resident Evil 4 release, there was a canon campaign released called Separate Ways. This allowed players to experience Ada Wong's part of the story during the events of Resident Evil 4. Now, players are questioning whether Separate Ways will be included in Resident Evil 4 Remake .

Keep reading our guide as we answer the question: "does Resident Evil 4 Remake have Ada Wong's Separate Ways campaign?".

Does Resident Evil 4 Remake have Ada Wong's Separate Ways campaign?

When writing this guide,  Resident Evil 4 Remake doesn't offer Ada Wong's Separate Ways campaign like the original game did. Instead, when you complete the game, you are rewarded with a set of cosmetics for Leon and Ashley and a new difficulty level.

In Resident Evil 4 2005, you unlock a myriad of rewards including new game modes like Separate Ways, Assignment: Ada, and The Mercenaries once you complete the main story.

That doesn't mean we won't be getting the Separate Ways campaign at all, though. According to leaker and known insider Dusk Golem , Ada Wong's Separate Ways campaign will release as a separate DLC with more fleshed-out content than the original.

In a  Reset Era thread , Dusk Golem replied to a user answering comments on whether Separate Ways will be in  Resident Evil 4 Remake . He said, "Yup, Separate Ways is down the line DLC. It'll be longer and more fleshed out than the original Separate Ways."

Capcom has yet to acknowledge the existence of the Separate Ways campaign, though it doesn't feel far-fetched. Also, while there are little inconsistencies, Dusk Golem has been a reliable insider for many of their claims.

That aside, they also claim that Capcom has already planned out a series of content and other updates for Resident Evil 4 Remake  as "a bigger floor plan as part of their development cycle." This includes Separate Ways DLC, The Mercenaries game mode, and PSVR2 support.

As we mentioned earlier, everything Dusk Golem claimed is not too far-fetched given that Resident Evil Village had no planned DLC. However, after the game was released to excellent critical reception and commercial success, we soon got the Shadows of Rose DLC along with PSVR support.

In any case, we will update the article if there is any official news related to Ada Wong's Separate Ways campaign.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Makes Separate Ways More Than Just PS2 Port Filler

Ada Wong serves and slaughters in equal measure.

My first foray into Resident Evil 4 was on the PS2 . I never touched the GameCube release that Capcom made irrelevant by announcing a port to a better platform before we even got a chance to play it. The exclusivity meant nothing, so for a lot of gamers, the wait for a version on Sony’s beloved second-generation console was more than worth it. I joined the ranks, and remember pinching a copy of the survival horror classic from my brother at the ripe age of 11 before promptly playing it to undeath. Even today, it remains a masterpiece.

It gave me nightmares, I still remember thinking about the hostile screeches of the Ganados and rustling winds outside my bedroom window, convinced that something awaited in the woods beyond. For context, I lived in a field in the middle of Wales which could double as the set for the Blair Witch Project, so it couldn’t get much spookier. But every fright was complemented by memorable characters and bombastic action set pieces that still impress, and as a closeted child who would grow up to not only be a girl, but like them too, Ada Wong hit different.

Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth Preview - Shinra’s Sophomore Slump

The suave secret operative in a flowing red dress kicks ass and takes names, but we weren’t given a chance to play as her until the PS2 port. Even then, both of her smaller campaigns were made up of reworked environments and boss encounters designed around continuous waves of enemies instead of something more compelling. Assignment Ada is the shortest and least memorable of the two additional campaigns, which feels more like a fancy minigame than anything else.

Clad in spy attire, Ada is tasked with navigating the island from later on in the main game to acquire a number of Los Plagas samples before delivering them to her employer. The plot is technically non-canon, but words from Wesker in its final scenes do allude to the narrative of Resident Evil 5 in some ways. Assignment Ada is a fairly forgettable slice of action that not many of us talk about today, and I doubt it will surface in remade form like Separate Ways did. If it does, I hope it receives the same prestigious treatment.

Separate Ways was a different kettle of fish entirely, and back on the PS2, it aimed to explore the events of Resident Evil 4 from Ada’s perspective. We saved Leon from the evil clutches of Mendez, found the infected who stole his jacket, and embarked on a few other escapades that sought to explore more of her character. Consisting of five chapters and appearances by the likes of Leon, Luis, Krauser, Wesker, and Salazar, it’s a fairly robust mini-campaign which to most, would justify either the first or second purchase of the survival horror classic.

Still, it was clearly operating with near identical assets and ideas from the original, so much so that I could see Ada being a skin with little distinction if I broke it all down. The remake goes way harder, weaving Ada’s journey into the events of the main game and giving her a meaningful arc of her own with greater moral duplicity. She is her own character now, building on her appearance in the Resi 2 remake with a willingness to betray her superiors if it means doing the right thing.

From early on in the campaign, we witness new interactions between Luis and Ada, along with frequent radio communication with Wesker that paints him as a far more sinister and less comical villain than past depictions. Ada is also infected this time around, battling with what appears to be a constantly evolving spectre that morphs the landscape and acts as a returning boss battle throughout. I’m yet to reach the end, but an omnipresent threat like this makes the mixture of new and returning environments feel that much fresher. You also have weapons not found in the main game, distinct puzzles, and upgrade paths to uncover. It’s not a bonus that Leon’s adventure can live without, but the last piece needed to complete the story.

I’d recommend Separate Ways not just to Resident Evil fans after a neat paid bonus, but also newcomers and those who want all the possible context ahead of where Resident Evil goes next. It will no doubt tie in these interpretations of Leon and Ada into either more remakes or entirely new entries that take the canon to incredible places. There’s no way to know just yet, but this mystery only makes such a complementary expansion all the more exciting. Now I can’t wait to finish it before running through it again and again.

Assignment Ada , also known as Ada the Spy in some regions, is a short mission that is unlocked after completing the game once. In this game, Ada Wong must infiltrate the Island Base and recover 5 Plaga Samples. The samples must fit into her small Attache Case along with her Punisher, TMP, and Semi-Auto Rifle, so item management is a must. The game must be beaten in one complete run, as there is no saving. In all versions prior to the Wii version, Ada has no Knife, so the difficulty is even greater. She must fire bullets to break crates and barrels to obtain items so, do not worry about killing every single enemy and proceed to the next area as soon as possible.

• 1 Storming the Beach
• 2 Inside the Base
• 3 The Lone Guard
• 4 Chicago Typewriter

Storming the Beach [ edit ]

When infiltrating the beach area, be careful about shooting enemies of edges into the water, or else you may run short on ammo. After all the enemies are dead, collect the items around the area. Climb the ladder at the rear entrance and crawl through the vent duct to get inside the Base.

Inside the Base [ edit ]

Once inside check your in-game map. The locations of the Plaga Samples are marked with treasure icons on the map. Find them and kill the enemies guarding them. In the Research Lab, collect the Plaga Sample and then defend yourself from the enemies that lock-down the room. To get out, operate the security console to unlock the door.

The Lone Guard [ edit ]

At the Communications Tower you will have to defeat Krauser to obtain the final Plaga Sample. Use your remaining Hand Grenades and the TMP to defeat him. Once he's taken care of ride the lift to the top of the Tower and call a Chopper to pick up Ada.

Chicago Typewriter [ edit ]

Completing the mission allows you to purchase the Chicago Typewriter , a Tommy Gun with unlimited ammo, in a completed file of the main game (GameCube) or Separate Ways (all other versions). The gun does come with a high price at 1 million Pesetas to be exact in the main game and 300,000 in Separate Ways.

Resident Evil 4 VR Should Bring Ada's Missions Back With Mercenaries

Resident Evil 4's recent VR edition has a lot going for it, but there are several missing aspects from the original that players would love to see.

Capcom's recent remake and virtual reality port Resident Evil 4 VR has been met with praise from fans of the original 2005 game. While some questioned the relevance of remaking a game that's over 15 years old, other players and fans of Capcom's previous VR version of another game in the franchise, Resident Evil 7 , were keen to experience the survival horror shooter through the immediacy of a headset.

Resident Evil 4 VR is not just a straightforward remake. Capcom faced some criticism and controversy before the game's release when it was rumored that it would be cutting some content from one of its most popular Resident Evil games, in addition to making the shift from a 3rd person perspective. While some of the content cut had little to no impact on the larger game, the omission of other elements such as Mercenaries Mode, Separate Ways, and Assignment Ada at the time of the game's release was felt more keenly by fans.

Lost In Translation

While some fans were hoping for a ground-up remake similar to Capcom's treatment of Resident Evil 2 , they will have to be satisfied with a remaster and translation to VR for the time being. Although large amounts of the game remain the same, there were still some changes in the newest port from the original fourth installment in the popular franchise. Once the game was released in 2021, players were able to see that most of the changes were simply cuts of slightly sexist and outdated dialogue and actions, particularly with regards to the characters of Ingrid and Ashley .

The main change was a welcome one, with perspective shifting from 3rd person to 1st during gameplay (other than some key instances, like when Leon delivers a knockdown move to an enemy). Putting players directly in the action through a 1st person VR perspective is always a popular mechanic for horror games, even if this proves just a little too much for some gamers. The change that left a lot of fans of the franchise disappointed was the decision to not include Mercenaries Mode, Separate Ways, or Assignment Ada. That was until Oculus confirmed that Mercenaries Mode will be added to Resident Evil 4 VR in a free update coming in 2022 – welcome news to gamers that enjoyed the popular mode and its various characters that saw them mowing down as many enemies as they could within a time limit.

Ada Missions Still MIA

With the announcement that the previously cut Mercenaries Mode will be making a reappearance, it's possible that Ada Wong 's storyline Separate Ways and minigame Assignment Ada may also have a place in Resident Evil 4 VR . Separate Ways, a story expansion in the original game that was made available to players after they completed the campaign, followed the exploits of enigmatic spy Ada concurrent to the game's main narrative. Assignment Ada also follows Ada but is a non-canon extra mode that was a little lighter on plot. Players controlled Ada as she collected Plaga samples and reported back to Wesker, providing a fun and challenging quick extra along with the other content.

The addition of the Ada-centric add ons would certainly be a plus for the overall Resident Evil 4 VR experience. Enabling gamers to play through these levels in immersive and palpitation-inducing VR would be an improvement to the original versions, and would add more content to the game for players to enjoy. Providing an additional story mode like Separate Ways would flesh out the narrative for players that may only be experiencing Resident Evil 4 for the first time in its VR iteration, and would provide a nice counterbalance to the more Leon-focused main campaign.

Resident Evil 4 VR is out now, exclusively for Oculus Quest 2.

RE4 Separate Ways DLC: How to solve the Ada castle lithograph puzzle

Although Ada has her own unique flavor of badassery to show off in the Resident Evil 4 remake Separate Ways DLC; she’s also constantly stopped in her tracks with puzzles to solve. Here’s how to easily clear the lithograph puzzle in the castle!

Step 1: Grab both of the missing lithographs nearby

After splitting up with Luis in Chapter 4, Ada will be tasked with finding the ingredients to stave off the infection plaguing the game’s cast: and to do that, you’ll need to get through a mandatory lithograph puzzle.

To even kick off the actual act of solving the puzzle, you’ll need to grab two missing litographs nearby. One of them is on a bench right next to the symbols on the wall. The other is around the corner (head right after exiting the lithograph puzzle room), next to the merchant. The exact location of both lithographs can be found in the gallery above.

Step 2: Place the lithographs into the empty slots, and solve the puzzle

You might have already mastered these types of puzzles in the core game , but just in case, here’s a refresher. Interact with the lithograph puzzle and place both missing tiles into the wall. Now, you’ll need to actually solve the puzzle.

Notice the left and top symbols are easily visible on the stone next to the tile indentations? Those denote the correct symbols you’ll need to place in said indent to make the door open. Notice how two of them are rubbed off, but are vaguely blue-colored .

Flip the tiles with L1/R1 (LB/RB) to swap sides and match up the symbols that are completely visible, then place the other tiles into the right and bottom indentations. From here, all you need to do is a few quick swaps for everything to be in order. If you highlight a tile, you can swap it with another one, and continue to flip them at will when they are selected.

The precise solution can be found in the gallery above!

Assignment: Ada

• Edit source
• View history

Assignment: Ada , also known as Ada the Spy in some regions, is a non-canon minigame featured in Resident Evil 4 unlocked after completing the game.

• 2.1 Loadout
• 2.2 Plaga Sample locations
• 3.1 Yellow Herbs

The minigame's plot involves Ada collecting a number of plaga samples as ordered by Albert Wesker (as opposed to collecting the single control plaga sample like in the main game). Ada does so and then reports back to Wesker that the mission was completed. She also states that Krauser was killed despite the implication that he had actually survived.

Although the plot is non-canon, it is interesting to note the ending scene has one of the biggest allusions to Resident Evil 5 in that Albert Wesker talks about "Significant changes in our world".

Gameplay [ ]

Ada wears a unique costume in the minigame which is a military-style uniform as opposed to her red dress as in the main game.

The game begins at the beginning of the island at Wharf A and ends at the Communications tower . The item layout on the map has been reworked for the minigame and pesetas and treasures are not found or used at all. The player must find the five samples of the Las Plagas parasite which are marked on the player's map. The only enemies featured are Ganado militia , Gatling Men , and Jack Krauser as the "boss" in the final area the player must defeat to get the last Plaga Sample.

The minigame is relatively short and is meant to be completed in one play-through as there are no save points during it. Ada starts the game with 6 & 2/4 Bars of health and has a slightly faster movement speed than Leon. The Plaga Samples Ada must collect take up space in the inventory instead of the Keys & Treasures menu.

Loadout [ ]

Ada begins the game with a set loadout with the default size case. In the GameCube, PlayStation 2, and the 2007 PC versions, she doesn't have a knife. In all other releases, she does. There are no other weapons to find besides Hand Grenades and ammo and the Merchant does not appear at all. Ada has the following items and firearms with the following stats;

• Handgun Ammo x30
• TMP Ammo x50
• Rifle Ammo x5
• Hand Grenade
• First Aid Spray
• Scope (semi-auto rifle)

Plaga Sample locations [ ]

Each Plaga Sample takes up 1x2 spaces of inventory. Due to them being mandatory in order to complete the scenario Plaga Samples are the only items in the game that cannot be discarded after putting them in the Attache Case.

Strategy [ ]

• In the GameCube and PlayStation2 versions, Ada has no knife, so try and conserve ammo and, to open multiple crates, line them up and shoot them in one bullet using the Punisher.
• Try to not get carried away with the Punisher's high rate of fire.
• Single-fire the TMP when possible to conserve ammo.
• Using The TMP full-auto is best saved to be used against shielded militia in close range, or multiple enemies, due to its high fire rate and high bullet consumption.
• Ada's melee attacks, Fan Kick and Back Kick, are particularly useful, due to your lack of a knife, and need to conserve ammo.
• Try to avoid Gatling Men whenever possible. They're relatively easy to flank in most presented situations, and not worth wasting ammo over, unless you are in dire need of a First Aid Spray or a Hand Grenade .
• Krauser is really easy to beat if you do this correctly. When he appears, dodge his attacks and run to the door you originally came from. Then equip your sniper rifle. Reenter the room where Krauser is. He will charge at you from the far end of the walkway, using his plaga arm as a shield. Try and snipe his knees before he reaches you. if you do, when he staggers, try and shoot either his head or upper chest. Repeat that until he reaches you. Just before he reaches you, re-enter that door again, reload and re-enter Krauser's room again. He spawns at the very end of the catwalk. Repeat what's above until he's dead. Grenades are more risky, due to their range, but also work well too if you can time it right. Sustained TMP fire at his knees is also effective. On the Wii, Xbox Live and PSN versions, do this same tactic, but try knifing him when he drops to his knee. This is very useful in speed running, as it only takes a few slashes to defeat him.
• Discard the Scope for the Semi-Auto Sniper since it is basically useless, this might help when collecting Plaga Samples since you need them in your Attache Case.
• After the fight with Krauser, no more enemies appear. Anything other than the first four Plaga samples may be discarded to make space in the inventory for the final sample.

Yellow Herbs [ ]

Due to Ada's low health, Yellow Herbs are vital in order to stay alive and take more hits. There are seven in the minigame. Collecting them all raises Ada's max health from 6 & 1/2Bars to 8 1/4 Bars.

There is no formal results screen displayed at the end of Assignment: Ada . However, a unique credits sequence plays consisting of cutscenes from the main game but with Leon in his Special 1 costume and Ada in her costume from The Mercenaries minigame (The R.P.D uniform and Resident Evil 2 dress respectively).

In the Gamecube version, beating the minigame will unlock the Chicago Typewriter for the main game, in all subsequent releases, however, the weapon unlocks for use in Separate Ways instead.
