We’re just around a month away from the Resident Evil 2 remake releasing, which is exciting pretty damn exciting, but it seems fans are going to get a taste a bit earlier than that with a Resident Evil 2 demo!
True Achievements has discovered a product description on Microsoft’s game store for a Resident Evil 2 ‘1-Shot Demo‘ that will arrive January 11, 2019. The description explains that the demo will give you 30 minutes to complete it.
The full description is as follows,
This specially tuned demo allows you to experience the newly reimagined Resident Evil 2, but be warned: whilst you can continue as many times as you like after dying, you’ll only have 30 MINUTES to complete the demo. Take in the horror atmosphere at your own pace, or make a desperate dash to solve all the puzzles Raccoon Police Department has to offer? The choice is yours! Originally released in 1998, Resident Evil 2, one of the most iconic games of all time, returns completely reimagined for next-gen consoles. – Play individual campaigns for both Leon Kennedy and Claire Redfield using an all new 3rd person view – Explore the zombie infested areas of Raccoon City, now stunningly re-built using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine. – New puzzles, storylines and areas Note: This demo is available until 1/31/2019. You must be signed in and have an active internet connection to play.
So the chance to get to grips with a Resident Evil 2 demo two weeks before the game’s full launch? That’s a great start to the year! Recently, a lot of fresh information on the remake appeared in the foreign press. It only serves to make the anticipation ramp up further for me.
Resident Evil 2 is out on Xbox One, PS4, and PC on January 25, 2019.
