Resident Evil 4 from 2005 is one of the best games in history. Besides revolutionizing third-person shooters, it took the franchise to a new level by seamlessly combining horror and action. Capcom did the impossible and improved that masterpiece with the remake that debuted in 2023. Haven't played it yet? In that case, we have good news for you.
The new version of the classic action survival horror game debuted at the end of March last year. Because it respects the original material and features excellent visuals and polished mechanics, it received public approval and was a strong contender for GOTY. Its success is undeniable.
According to the latest reports, the Resident Evil 4 Remake has already sold more than 6.48 million copies worldwide since its release. That said, it is clear that many people are still waiting for the ideal moment to explore the adventure of Leon S. Kennedy and Ashley Graham.

If you haven't played this Capcom title yet and were waiting for the announcement of a "definitive version," you'll be pleased to know that the Japanese company has announced a new release for all platforms.
We're talking about Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition, a package that includes the base game, the acclaimed Separate Ways expansion starring Ada Wang, and the downloadable content available in the Deluxe Edition. If you purchase this version, you'll have access to additional skins for Leon and Ashley, the Skull Shaker and Sentinel Nine weapons, exclusive charms, and the original soundtrack, although it seems that there is no new material.
The Mercenary mode, which allows you to play as various characters and fight against waves of enemies, will be available through a totally free download. Now, how much will this package cost? Unfortunately, the price was not revealed.
To promote the announcement of this edition, Capcom turned to its official communication channels to share a new trailer. However, be aware that some surprises from the main campaign and DLC are shown.
Unfortunately, there's bad news. In statements to IGN, the Japanese company confirmed that Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition will have a physical edition but will arrive in March and will be exclusive to Europe. Thus, the rest of the regions will have to settle for the digital release.
It's clear that enhanced versions of classic installments were a resounding success. With this in mind, it's not surprising that Capcom wants to remake other titles in the horror franchise. What will be the next game to get a remake?
But tell us, what do you think of the Gold Edition? Let us know in the comments.
