The ground-up remake of the iconic 2005 classic has already seen massive success, both from a sales perspective and critically.

The remake sold three million copies in the first two days upon release, with a further million copies in the following week.
To squeeze even more joy out of this amazing game, the monster-mashing mode, The Mercenaries, just dropped as a free update and there are rumors saying that Ada Wong-driven side-mode “Separate Ways” is also currently in development, and will be released as DLC for the remake at a later date.
