The most recent Resident Evil Showcase event took place on April 15, in celebration of the franchise’s 25th anniversary. During the livestream, we were treated to a brand-new trailer and gameplay footage for the upcoming Resident Evil Village. We also learned more about other Resident Evil projects Capcom is working on, including the upcoming Netflix series, a special Resident Evil 4 overhaul, and a Dead By Daylight crossover. Here are all the biggest announcements from April’s Resident Evil Showcase event.
Resident Evil Village will get multiple demos
If you’re looking to play Resident Evil Village early and you’re a PlayStation fan, you’re in luck. PS4 and PS5 owners will get access to the game’s Village demo and Castle demo early–two separate 30-minute experiences. The whole thing is actually kind of confusing, with different windows available for players to download and play each demo. Learn more about what to expect and how to access the Resident Evil Village demos so you can be fully prepared ahead of their launch.
