As expected, Capcom brought the goods with the Resident Evil Showcase, unveiling a brand-new trailer for Resident Evil Village. Alongside the trailer, Capcom has unveiled a new time-limited demo that had been uploaded to the PSN last week.
The new demo will be available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, Steam and Stadia, and will allow players to explore the village and castle segments of the game, but comes with a few restrictions. The demo will be limited to 60 minutes of playtime, and will be available for only 24 hours in each region. More info can be found on the official Resident Evil Village website.

In addition to the demo, Capcom has unveiled that the beloved Mercenaries Mode will be making its return in Village. In case you’re unaware, Mercenaries Mode has you battling against waves of enemies as one of several characters from the game. Survive, and you’ll be able to spend the cash you’ve earned to get new weapons and upgrades for the next round.
Resident Evil Village arrives May 7 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Google Stadia, and PC via Steam.
