Resident Evil 4 remake guide: How to unlock and use the Deluxe Edition costumes for Leon and Ashley

Resident Evil 4 remake features some really amazing costumes that you can unlock either by completing certain challenges in the main story or by getting the game's Deluxe Edition. Much like the original Resident Evil 4, the costumes you can unlock for both Leon and Ashley are cosmetic only and do not provide any additional gameplay bonus.

There are a total of seven costumes for Leon and five for Ashley, alongside a host of cosmetic accessories that you can mix and match with different costumes. While the costumes and accessories that you can unlock in the Resident Evil 4 remake do not impact gameplay, they do allow you to customize the protagonists, making repeat playthroughs of the game a tad bit refreshing.

Most costumes and accessories in the Resident Evil 4 remake are unlocked by simply playing through the game and completing certain challenges, such as finishing the campaign on Hardcore difficulty. However, if you purchase the Deluxe Edition of the game, you will get access to a few exclusive costumes and accessories right from the get-go.
