  • Europe: April 18 at 7 PM to April 19 at 3 AM CEST
  • Asia: April 18 at 5 PM to April 19 at 1 AM HKT

Another demo will release a few days later, so you can play for 30 minutes through the Castle region.

  • North America: April 24 at 5 PM to April 25 at 1 AM PT
  • Europe: April 25 at 7 PM to April 26 at 3 AM CEST
  • Asia: April 25 at 5 PM to April 26 at 1 AM HKT

All PlayStation players can preload the demo starting today.

After the PlayStation exclusive limited time demos have concluded, on May 1, all platforms receive access for 12 hours to try these locations out for 60 minutes.

  • North America: May 1 at 5 PM to May 2 at 5 PM PT
  • Europe: May 2 at 2 AM to May 3 2 AM CEST

When playing through the 60-minute demo, you will have two 30 minute sessions. You can choose to spend them going through only the castle or village areas or splitting them up and exploring both areas.

The Resident Evil Village demo should give players a good idea of what to expect from the new game.
