Mercenaries mode explodes in Resident Evil Village
Survival horror meets high-stakes combat in the return of The Mercenaries game mode! This fan-favorite mode has appeared in several Resident Evil games since its introduction in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis on the original PlayStation, and is now making an action-packed return in Resident Evil Village. As with previous versions of The Mercenaries, this arcade-style mode tasks you with racking up points and completing stages quickly, changing the objective of the game to a fight against the clock to get a high score rather than combat. for the survival of the main campaign. Just keep an eye on the countdown – running out of time means your time is up.
New additions have also been made to this mode compared to previous games. As you make your way through locations full of enemies, you will be able to acquire useful bonus skills that can increase firepower, increase your movement speed, or provide other beneficial effects. Each skill you add will help you take out enemies and rack up a high score for your current attempt, and will continue between stages. Once the stage is completed, you’ll have the option to spend your hard-earned coin with The Duke – a mysterious merchant from the main game – to purchase supplies and upgrade your weapons before moving on to the next stage.
The Mercenaries is an endlessly replayable mode that you are sure to want to try again and again. Learn each step and discover new ways to take down waves of enemies while pursuing the highest rank possible.
Mercenaries will be included as a bonus mode for Resident Evil Village, and you’ll need to complete the story of the game before you can unlock it. We hope you enjoy this exciting take on what the main campaign has to offer!
