For those accessing the game in the UK and Europe, they’ll have to wait a day longer, with the demo launching on April 25 at 6:00 PM BST / 7:00 PM CEST and closing down on April 26 at 2:00 AM BST / 3:00 AM CEST. This will be the last PlayStation exclusive demo launching forResident Evil 8: Village,with a third and final preview hitting PC, Xbox, PlayStation, and Google Stadia next week. That demo will offer players 60-minutes to traverse both the village and castle locations.
As for players that want to ensure they don’t waste any time prepping for the demo, they can preload it onto their system right now. All they have to do is launch thePlayStation Store, search forResident Evil 8: Village,and download the gameplay demo application. Accessing the app will show them exactly how long they have to wait before the preview is live in their region, counting down via a timer. Once the time has run down, the app will take them to the demo and they can officially get started.
Early glimpses at the castle seem to hint the player could experience some nasty surprises while making their way through the demo, whether that’s encountering the three vampiric sisters who can traverse the environment as swarms of flies or coming face to face with the internet phenomenon that isLady Dimitrescu. It’s sure to be filled with plenty of creepy surprises and imposing enemies, especially as the castle is one of the main areas Capcom has displayed throughout itsResident Evil 8marketing.
Resident Evil 8: Villagewill be available on May 7 for PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and Google Stadia.
