The game has been out for a good while now, so you may be wondering whether the Ada Wong Separate Ways content is in Resident Evil 4 remake. If so, here's everything we know so far, as well as what we could see happening in the future.

Given Resident Evil 4 remake is broadly very similar to the original game, many fans are expecting all the content from that game to return here. The Ada Wong side content, also called Separate Ways in-game, was one of the key add ons, so it's worth seeing if it returns here.

Is the Ada Wong side content in Resident Evil 4 remake?

Yes, Separate Ways, the Ada Wong side content, is coming to Resident Evil 4 remake on September 21, 2023.

At launch, the Ada Wong side content was not in Resident Evil 4 remake. Instead, it was added in a post-launch update as a paid DLC expansion. Ada Wong is a beloved character in the community, and the Separate Ways add-on is one of the most memorable parts of the original game.

Fortunately this has been on the cards for a while, after a datamine found by Gosetsu from the RE Wiki Discord uncovered a set of files named "The Another Order." This is the rough Japanese translation for Separate Ways in the JP version of the game, hinting that the content is baked into the game somewhere. You can check out the tweet below:

Considering the files are definitely in the game, it wasn't surprising to see Separate Ways added as its own DLC expansion down the line, likely in a more elongated format.

What is Separate Ways in Resident Evil 4?

Separate Ways is a mode you unlock after beating the original Resident Evil 4. You play as Ada Wong, travelling through key areas and moments in the game, seeing what she was up to at the time, and how she subtly impacted the story. Given she's back for this full-fledged remake, it would be surprising if we didn't see Separate Ways return in some capacity down the line.

Now that you know what you can about the Ada Wong side content, there's more to learn. Here's how to do the Resident Evil 4 remake Saddler boss guide, how the Resident Evil 4 remake inventory system works, and how big the Resident Evil 4 remake map is.
