What difficulties await Leon in this remake of Resident Evil 4?

An X button prompt to Break Free flashes on screen as Leon and Krauser tussle, the ex-RCPD officer forced back on the floor barely fending off Krauser’s knife attack.

Leon readies to tackle two Gigantes.

Leon tries to fiend off an attack by a foe that’s all teeth and snarling jowls, heavily mutated by Las Palagas

Leon readies to fire upon some red barrels in an attempt to even the odds as multiple attackers roll in by minecart.

Leon holds on as the minecart he rides on rumbles along a track.

Leon points his gun’s sights at an advancing enemy who is wielding a chainsaw.

In addition to a glimpse at the confrontation between Leon and Krauser, the trailer also officially announced the return of The Mercenaries! The popular extra game mode that appears throughout the Resident Evil series will also appear in RE4. The team is hard at work on The Mercenaries, which will be available as free post-launch DLC.
