Summary
- Capcom is releasing Resident Evil 4: Gold Edition on February 20, which includes the base game, Separate Ways DLC, and Extra DLC Pack.
- The Extra DLC Pack includes costumes/filters for Leon and Ashley, accessories, weapons, soundtrack swap, and a treasure map expansion.
- Capcom's decision to release a new version of the game within a year is not surprising, as re-releases are common and bundling additional content could boost sales even more.
Capcom has announced Resident Evil 4: Gold Edition for release on February 20 across PC, PS4, PS5, and Xbox Series X. Capcom first released the Resident Evil 4 remake last year, and as expected, it earned near-universal acclaim from critics. Many praised the Resident Evil 4 remake for retaining what made the original game such a hit in the first place while simultaneously making major improvements to meet the standards of modern audiences.
Post-launch, Capcom supported the Resident Evil 4 remake with free updates that added the missing Mercenaries mode to the game and more. The Resident Evil 4 remake received its fair share of paid DLC as well, including the Separate Ways DLC campaign and controversial microtransactions. The new version of the game will look to combine the Resident Evil 4 remake with some of its post-launch DLC, making it the most complete way to experience the critically-acclaimed game so far.

When Resident Evil 4: Gold Edition releases on February 20, it will give fans access to the beloved base game, the Separate Ways campaign starring fan favorite character Ada Wong, and the Extra DLC Pack. Pricing information has not been released for Resident Evil 4: Gold Edition at the time of this writing, but currently, the base game costs $59.99, Separate Ways costs $9.99, and the Extra DLC Pack costs $19.99. It's likely Resident Evil 4: Gold Edition will give players some kind of a deal, but again, specific pricing information is not available just yet.

While some may be surprised that Capcom is releasing a new version of the Resident Evil 4 remake before the game's 1-year anniversary, many others likely saw this coming.
