"Resident Evil 4 Remake Introduces Paid Weapon Upgrades and Missing Characters in Mercenaries Mode"

Capcom's remake of Resident Evil 4 now includes The Mercenaries game mode, part of a free update, and new microtransactions allowing players to spend real money on weapon upgrade tickets. These tickets can be purchased with Spinels, the collectible currency earned by completing missions, but can now also be bought in various bundle sizes for $2.99 to $9.99. This follows a trend in recent Resident Evil games, including Village and the Resident Evil 2 remake, featuring purchasable unlocks for weapons, costumes, and modes.
