The Resident Evil 4 Remake launch trailer revealed that the game's Mercenaries mode will be released as a free DLC on April 7, which is exactly two weeks after the game launched.

The Resident Evil Mercenaries mode was first introduced in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, though RE4 is where the mode first became popular, with it becoming synonymous with the franchise thereafter.
For those who don't know, Mercenaries is basically a wave-based mode where players score as many points as possible by killing enemies in the allotted time.

We aren't sure if the Resident Evil 4 Remake Mercenaries mode will be a straight remake of the RE4 mode, but we'll find out soon as we get closer to the April 7 release date.
