  • Leon (2 Versions)
  • Ada (2 Versions)
  • Hunk
  • Wesker
  • Krauser
  • Luis

Looks like Luis got an upgrade to actually being playable this time around. There will also be costumes for some of the characters with their own loadouts (So 8 Playable characters total counting the different costumes). Nice to see that everyone made it in as there was worry it might only be Leon when the idea was brought up awhile back.

Not sure how I feel about the way Ada's dress looks. The pure red just seemed better, now it just seems like "oh hey, reminder she's Chinese"

Because people apparently didn't know that?

Based upon Luis's extended role in the remake, makes sense that he'd be added to Mercenaries.

Yay Luis. Any means to get the Red9 into mercenaries is fine by me.

I always assumed, many decades ago, that he would also have the bolt action rifle since no one else had it in their load out.

Awesome that Luis is finally playable in Mercs but yeah this is about what I expected. Can't wait to play it next month!

Hopefully this update comes with fixes for Xbox's dead zone & PlayStation/PC's gyro issues.

God I hope Wesker has his thrust punch and axe kick. Please, Capcom.

Haha same here. I'm not sure how the thrust punch fits in with the more gritty tone they've gone with in the Remake, because it's crazy over the top (but awesome). I can see them changing it so it's more reminiscent of the Cobra Strike in RE5 Mercenaries, but I'd like to be wrong.

Imagine if the axe kick can cut ganados in half vertically the way grenades can blow them in half horizontally.

Ada, Hunk and Chris have already been swapped in. Not sure if they have issues though.

I remember if you did Neckbreaker with Hunk in OG Re4 the game would crash.
If they fixed that and remake can have that with no issue, it would be a dream honestly lol.

Always thought about how much fun it would be to play as Wesker, Krauser, an Hunk specifically in RE4's Campaign due to their overpowered melee

Was hoping for Jill, Chris, and Claire as well. Why not? Couldn't be that hard to move them over

We know we're getting SW as DLC at this point. If I were to guess, they might bring others to the game with the Gold Edition like we saw with RE5 back in the day. So Jill, Chris, Claire, and Carlos would be easy ones to drop in.

The dream would be Gold Edition adding characters like that and bringing in coop.

God I hope that happens. I really just want one game that has mercenaries to finally for once put in Jill, Chris, Claire, and Leon all at once

I wonder if the melee could be modded into the main game. This will be the first RE Engine game were that can be tested.

I remember this. So disappointing. Could have been the ultimate action replay seller.

After 18 years did they ever figure out how to get the mercs characters playable in the main campaign? Lol

I believe they made it not as crash prone but it still crashes. So there's no easy way to play the whole game as hunk without headache.

So Leon, Ada, Wesker, and a bunch of non-Jill Valentines. I do kind of wish this was just a standalone thing.

I think this is entirely understandable for a Resident Evil 4 Mercenaries mode. This is what the original RE4 Mercs was, plus a bonus RE4 character. They can expand it out further with later patches/content drops but this was the absolute standard they needed to set from the beginning.

Should they make a standalone Mercs game with TONS of cross-franchise representation eventually? Sure. But RE4 needs its Mercs minigame and I'm glad they knew that and seem to be doing it right.

Capcom sitting on Mercs 3D for a decade still baffles me.
