Initially scheduled for release on February 20, the Resident Evil 4: Gold Edition version of the game seems to already be available on at least some digital storefronts. Priced at $49.99, still $10 lower than the base game before the price drop, Resident Evil 4: Gold Edition includes the base game, the Separate Ways DLC, and the Extra DLC Pack, which comprises various costumes, filters, accessories, weapons, soundtrack swaps, and a treasure map expansion.
