Resident Evil Village’s 60-minute playable demo is now available on consoles and PC.
The demo, which allows players to explore the Village and Castle areas for a total of 30 minutes each, can be downloaded on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, Steam and Stadia.

Resident Evil Village is the 10th main game in the Resident Evil series and the sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. It will be released on May 7 for PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X/S, Xbox One, PC and Stadia.
Capcom released a PS5 exclusive Resident Evil Village demo in January, which saw players take on the role of a character called the Maiden as she attempts to escape Dimitrescu Castle.
