Capcom has not yet confirmed a release date for its second Resident Evil Village demo, but it appears related files are now uploaded to PSN. According to MP1st, four new region-specific SKUs have been uploaded to the PSN backend, covering the US, Europe, Japan and Asia. All of these SKUs are titled “Resident Evil Village Gameplay Demo,” with the exception of Japan, where it retains the region’s “Biohazard” branding. According to these files, the demo is about 10 GB in size. Control options have also been discovered, which seem to confirm a remote play option on the PlayStation Vita as well!
Now that these files have been uploaded to PSN, it seems like a matter of time before Capcom announces a release date for the demo. Resident Evil Village is about a month away, so the publisher will likely want to make the demo available soon to build excitement. There’s no word yet on how long the demo will last, or whether save data can be transferred to the full version, but fans can now expect to learn more about it every day.
This is the second demo released for the game. The “Maiden” demo is currently available exclusively on PlayStation 5 and focuses mainly on the graphics. However, the second demo seems to put more emphasis on gameplay. The second demo will also be available on all platforms for which the game has been announced.
Resident Evil Village seems to be causing a lot of excitement right now! The game will be released during the series’ 25th anniversary and the new entry looks appealing to say the least! The new game is a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7: BiohazardAgain, the game will put players in the role of Ethan Winters as he explores a new mystery involving longtime protagonist Chris Redfield and new villain Lady Dimitrescu. The latter character has become a huge hit with fans online and has been used by Capcom to market the game.
Resident Evil Village will be released on May 7 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X and PC. In the meantime, you can check out all of our previous coverage of the game here.
