If you didn’t participate in the village demo last weekend, you’ll need to download the Resident Evil Village gameplay demo from the PlayStation Store first, which is available to pre-load now. If you played last weekend’s village demo, you don’t need to download anything else this weekend – simply start up the Resident Evil Village gameplay demo and you’ll be able to play through the castle segment this weekend. While the village seems to be suitably creepy, it’s in that castle that players will be stalked by Lady Dimitrescu, the towering antagonist of Resident Evil Village who wields a set of killer-looking retractable claws. In any case, we’re guessing that Castle Dimitrescu is going to be the appealing part of the gameplay demo for most people interested in Resident Evil Village.
Those who are playing on Xbox One and PC will have to wait until next weekend to play, and they’ll still be time-limited just like the PlayStation users have been. As part of a deal struck between Sony and Capcom, PlayStation owners have had exclusive, early access to the gameplay demo this weekend and last. Still, at least PS4 and PS5 users get to play this weekend.
