Two pieces of ‘Resident Evil 7’ DLC are coming out this December

With the success of

Resident Evil 7

, fans have been eager for more. Two pieces of downloadable content, End of Zoe and Not a Hero, are the third and fourth sets of DLC for the horror title, and both were recently given a release date.

End of Zoe features the mysterious Joe, and outdoorsman who lives along the bank of the marshes. After a chance encounter with Zoe, both their lives become intertwined.

In Not a Hero, Chris Redfield makes his return to the Resident Evil franchise. As the veteran Bioterrorism Security Assessment Alliance soldier, players are on the hunt for Lucas Baker after the horrific events of Resident Evil 7. BSAA agents have tried to bring an end to Baker before, but were unsuccessful and became his captives. The players control Redfield on his journey through poisonous dungeons to save the team and take down Baker once and for all.

Releasing alongside the remaining DLC, Capcom has announced the Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Gold Edition for both retail and digital purchase. Like other re-releases, Gold Edition includes all the extra content from Resident Evil 7 in one big package. These extra pieces of DLC include Banned Footage Vol. 1, Banned Footage Vol. 2, as well as the upcoming End of Zoe.

Both Resident Evil 7 Biohazard Gold Edition and the two remaining pieces of DLC release just in time for the holidays on December 12. For season pass owners, End of Zoe will be available as an update on that day. Those without the season pass can also purchase the extra content as a separate download for $15.

On the same day, everyone with a copy of Resident Evil 7 will have access to the free Not a Hero DLC.

When Resident Evil 7 released, it wasn’t just a landmark for the series by going back to its roots. It evolved with more modern gameplay to create something much more refined than the bloated Resident Evil 6. Another big step for the series is that nearly all the content for PlayStation 4 is available on PlayStation VR. This includes the upcoming DLC End of Zoe and Not a Hero. For those who can stomach it, the experience is worth the try.

The replay quotient of the Resident Evil 4 remake is already incredibly high. Aside from attempting the game on higher difficulties, odds are you will miss at least some of the collectibles or guns during your first run. Still, many people will want more, and the included extras like costumes and special weapons can only extend a single-player game's life so much. This is where mods come in. From new models and outfits to reworked mechanics, mods can breathe new life into this survival horror masterpiece.

Resident Evil 4 shows that a remake doesn’t need to be completely faithful

Back when Capcom announced its Resident Evil 2 remake, I was ecstatic. This was a game I had missed when it first came out, and it was an important part of a series I had grown to love. However, its outdated gameplay meant it was close to impossible to go back comfortably, and its age meant it was tough to play legally. If I wanted to play Resident Evil 2, I would either have to head towards emulation (which I have no patience for) or rely on the remake. The latter, as it turned out, was ideal.

You’ll find remakes across all of media, so the idea isn’t anything new. But video games are in the middle of a remake boom with studios spending a lot of money on taking existing IP and looking backward at a seemingly more frantic pace. Cynically, it’s just another way they can make money off of a beloved series, but it’s also a way to bring older, important games to newer audiences.

There was one small fun diversion in the original game that has been expanded and improved for the remake, which is the optional Shooting Gallery. This time there are multiple of these safe spaces to hone your aim, but also a fully developed system of challenges, scores, and, best of all, rewards. If you want to take a breather from all the horrors that await you in Resident Evil 4 remake, here's where you can find all the Shooting Galleries, what you can win, and some helpful tips.
Shooting Gallery locations

There are a total of five locations across all 16 Chapters of Resident Evil 4 remake, and they all are within the safety of a Merchant zone. Each one, except the last, will introduce a new set of three challenges, but all previous challenges from past Shooting Galleries will be present in the later ones. That means you could technically wait and only visit the final one to take on all the challenges there. Here's where you can find each individual Shooting Gallery in order of appearance:
