Capcom’s latest Resident Evil showcase event has detailed a series of times you’ll be able to demo Resident Evil Village ahead of its May release.
It also included an announcement of Resident Evil 4 VR for Oculus Quest 2, a quick look at Village’s Mercenaries mode, a new trailer for the Netflix CGI series Infinite Darkness, and some other smaller bits and pieces. No new Resident Evil games were announced.

The showcase kicked off with new Village trailer showing clips from early in the game, a radio broadcast calling for survivors, a look at the werewolf-like lycans, and Lady Dimitrescu taking a tasty sip of Ethan’s blood. Chris Redfield also puts in an appearance – but what he’s up to isn’t clear.
You’ll be able to poke around all this for yourself with the game’s upcoming time-limited demo, which will let you play for 60 minutes on PlayStation 5, PS4, Stadia, Steam, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S.
This demo will be available for all platforms for 24 hours starting 2nd May at 1am UK time, or 2am in Europe. In North America, this will be from 1st May at 5pm Pacific for 24 hours.
You will be able to choose between exploring the game’s village or castle areas, or dip into both if you so choose. But you only have 60 minutes total.

PS4 and PS5 owners also get “8 Hours in Village”, where you can play both village and castle areas over preceding weekends. Each area will be opened up for eight hours, in which you can then play for 30 minutes.
