Resident Evil 4 remake's Separate Ways DLC finally launches next week

The Resident Evil 4 remake's anticipated Separate Ways DLC campaign finally has a release date, and it's as soon as next week.

Announced during PlayStation's most recent State of Play presentation, the Separate Ways expansion arrives in Resident Evil 4 on September 21, just under a week from now. Furthermore, PSVR 2 support was confirmed to arrive this "Winter," so expect it sometime between December and February of next year.

Resident Evil 4's horde-like Mercenaries mode will also receive an update on the day Separate Ways releases, adding fan-favorite characters Ada Wong and Albert Wesker to the roster of playable characters. While the DLC campaign will cost players $9.99 (around £7.99 / AU$15.99), the Mercenaries update will be provided at no extra cost.

Originally featured in the PS2 port of Resident Evil 4, the Separate Ways side campaign sees players take control of Ada Wong during the events of the main story. Her mission is to retrieve the Amber sample from the Los Illuminados cult, all while aiding protagonists Leon and Ashley from the shadows.

The version of Separate Ways found in the original title largely reused assets and locations from the main campaign, though it did feature a handful of new cutscenes and a unique boss fight, making it a fondly remembered side story for longtime fans of the series.

The remake looks to elevate Separate Ways to new heights, based on the scenes shown off in the trailer. All new story beats not seen in the original campaign will be present, making it feel more like its own thing and, hopefully, shedding new light on Ada's own motivations, especially in regards to teaming up with series big bad Albert Wesker.

Resident Evil 4 is among the best horror games to release in 2023. But if you're looking for another experience to tide you over until Separate Ways' release, consider checking out our list of the best single-player games.

Windows Copilot leak suggests deeper assimilation with Windows 11 features

Key Windows 11 features may soon be customizable as Microsoft further integrates its Windows Copilot AI assistant into the operating system. This tidbit comes from tech news site Windows Latest , which claims to have discovered new .json (JavaScript Object Notation) files within recent preview builds of Windows 11. These files apparently hint at future upgrades for the desktop AI assistant. For example, a “TaskManagerService-ai-plugin.json” was found which is supposedly a “plugin for Task Manager integration”. If this ever comes out, it could give users the ability to “monitor or close running apps using” Copilot. In total, six are currently tested and they affect various aspects of Windows 11. Next, there is an “AccessbilityTools-ai-plugin.json” that gives Copilot a way to “control accessibility [tools]. This would make it "easier for those with [a] disability to navigate through the system.” Third is “ai-plugin-WindowsSettings.json” for controlling important Windows 11 set...

Samsung's ViewFinity S9 may be the monitor creatives have been searching for

Originally revealed during CES 2023 , Samsung has finally launched its ViewFinity S9 5K monitor after nine long months of waiting.  According to the announcement, the ViewFinity S9 is the company’s first-ever 5K resolution (5,120 x 2880 pixels) IPS display aimed primarily at creatives. IPS stands for in-plane switching , a form of LED tech offering some of the best color output and viewing angles on the market. This quality is highlighted by the fact that the 27-inch screen supports 99 percent of the DCI-P3 color gamut plus delivers 600 nits of brightness.  Altogether, these deliver great picture quality made vibrant by saturated colors and dark shadows.
