A batch of new achievements has been added to the PC version of Resident Evil 4, indicating new content is on its way to the Capcom remake. First released for PS5, PS4 in March earlier this year, a different campaign based on Ada Wong — named Separate Ways in the original version — has been heavily rumoured alongside confirmed PSVR2 content.
SteamDB is now tracking the addition of seven new achievements on the PC platform, but there aren't any descriptions attached at the time of writing — just random numbers and letters like "40-en" and "44-en". The Japanese publisher has its Capcom Showcase to make its reveals, but since one livestreamed just a few weeks ago, it's likely a different venue will host the announcement.
The Ada Wong-focused bonus campaign is the most likely thing these new PC achievements are attached to, but there's always the possibility it's something else. All eyes turn to Capcom to see what it has in store for a game handed a very rare 10/10 rating on Push Square. We concluded: "What was there before was already enough to consider Resident Evil 4 one of the best games of all time, but now it earns that title in 2023 off the back of better environments and sublime action. This is Resident Evil at its absolute pinnacle; an utterly outstanding experience that will live long in the hearts of longtime fans while inducting a whole new generation of supporters."
Will you return to Resident Evil 4 for a new campaign all about Ada Wong? Let us know in the comments below.

If they have not improved Ada's voice acting the DLC is going to suffer heavily for it. I managed to beat RE4RE about a month ago and Ada's VA was awful throughout the entire game. There were small moments where it is clear she has potential for the role so I'm hoping that they can improve it. If they can't then they genuinely need to bring back the old VA.
As long as the dlc works with the VR update I will be satisfied. I stopped going for the platinum when the news came out that it was going to be fully VR compatible.
Give me any reason to go back to this masterpiece. I double dipped and bought a copy for Series X a few weeks ago just to play it again. After getting all the achievements, I still wanted more, lol. With gyro support and the Dualsense Edge, PS5 version is my preferred way to play. I'm debating on picking up a PSVR2 just to play this and RE Village in VR.
I'd be all for it. I didn't love the remake quite as much as some, but I still enjoyed it and would gladly return.
I also didn't mind the VA for Ada either. Sure, she's never going to be considered up there with the likes of Jennifer Hale, Ashly Burch, or Laura Bailey, but the performance was fine.
@Nepp67 honestly, Ada didn’t bother me anywhere near as much as Wesker.
Anyone complaining about Ada's VO is so used to Anime-style, incredibly over-the-top, extremely exaggerated performances that anyone speaking in a regular cadence or giving an understated, natural performance sounds "bad".
@GeneJacket Have you seen Welcome To Racoon City? She was in that and played the same character and she was bad there as well; the only saving grace was that everyone in that movie was bad.
Not so in RE4R.
@Constable_What That movie is an insulting disaster, top to bottom. The direction is pathetic, the script is actual garbage, the effects are worse than a Sci-Fi original, everyone in it is terrible, and it achieved the unthinkable...making me miss the Paul W.S. Anderson films, which I hate with every fiber of my being.
Tom Hopper, Hannah John-Kamen, Kaya Scodelario, Neal McDonough...all good to great actors, all terrible in WTRC. There is nothing redeemable about that film and Lily Gao inarguably makes out the best simply because she has so little screen time and so few lines.
Almost finished, I think it's fun but more of a 8/10.
@GeneJacket Actually thought her VO was pretty damn good.
@GamerGuy_1985_ Really? That was the complete opposite for me. I thought Wesker's voice was fitting, not as good as the original though.
@GeneJacket Sees Leon doing backflips over chainsaws and literally blocking a chainsaw with his knife
Hmm anime voice acting is fitting for this game and even then anyone can tell that Ada's VA in RE4RE is bad, that's not the way Ada talks. That's why RE2RE Ada's VA is praised because she literally acts like Ada should.
@Nepp67 "That's not the way Ada talks..."
She's a fictional character, she can talk however the writers/voice over director WANT her to talk. You're free to not like her performance for whatever reason, but she did a perfectly fine job with the material she was given to work with.
Ill get the game when on good sale, i liked the demo somewhat but nothing more.
@GeneJacket "She's a fictional character, she can talk however the writers/voice over director WANT her to talk."
An established fictional character should sound how they are supposed to sound as with characters such as LEON himself. Nick puts in a lot of energy with how Leon shouts out his cocky one liners and being a badass. Lily Gao literally sounds like she's reading off the script with no effort of sounding like the femme fatale character Ada is well known for. That is both bad directing and poor acting from her part. If that's your definition of doing a "Perfectly fine job" then I would be hate to see you directing VA's.
Y'know, it strike me as very odd that the only complaint a very vocal minority have about RE2r is Ada's voice acting, when she has relatively little to actually do or say in the campaign and can so easily be ignored...especially when Sadler is right there with his weird, seemingly random shifts between American, British, Australian, and sometime Spanish accents for no discernable reason...yet, no one is bothered by that. Not to mention how bad voice acting is a cornerstone of the brand, and at some point it seems like Capcom made a creative choice to have at least one character with purposefully terrible dialogue and perhaps intentionally "poor" acting (Steve in CV, Quint/Keith/Raymond in Revelations, Moira in Revelations 2, etc, etc). Not saying that's what happened with Ada. Also...come on...Leon is not a badass, he's a well trained himbo that barely has more than two brain cells to rub together.
Regardless, I'm not going to convince you of my standpoint any more than you're going to convince me of yours, so let's just leave it and agree to disagree.
@GeneJacket Very possibly. The praise heaped on the voice acting of the original games tells me that nostalgia is playing a massive part, or certain people are just used to 'english - dub anime voice acting'. To be it sounds like nails on a chalkboard.
