As previously announced, there will be spread over a number of weeks demos available, which can then only be played for a short period of time. Last week, PS5 and PS4 gamers were able to try out the village from the game – that demo was available for eight hours and allowed players to explore the area for a total of half an hour.

Tomorrow another part of the game will be playable on PS5 and PS4. In the new demo, players explore Castle Dimitrescu, home to the female vampires from the various trailers. The demo will go live tomorrow at 7 p.m. in the Benelux and can be played until 3 a.m.

There will be a third demo next weekend available. Both locations are combined here. This demo is playable for 24 hours – although it can only play for an hour in total – and comes to all systems, rather than just PlayStation consoles. Village is the eighth installment in the franchise and includes Chris Redfield from the original game. The game revolves around Ethan Winter, who travels to a cold Louisiana to find his missing wife and stumbles upon mysterious figures. The game will be released on May 7 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X and S, Xbox One and PC. Buyers will also receive Resident Evil Re: Verse free multiplayer game.
