Upcoming Availability For Final ‘Resident Evil Village’ Demo Extended For One Week

Published

After receiving criticism from fans and outlets alike for the time constraints placed on the Resident Evil Village demos, Capcom has decided to correct that wrong with the upcoming May demo.

Capcom took to Twitter to announce that the upcoming May demo, which was originally set for a 24-hour window availability, has now been extended from May 1 to May 9th (May 2 to May 10 for Europe). Unfortunately, the 60-minute time limit still remains, but you know that someone will try to find a way to extend that (much like they did with the One-Shot demo for the Resident Evil 2 remake).

As detailed during the last Resident Evil Showcase, Resident Evil Village‘s final demo will combine the PlayStation-exclusive Castle and Village demos into one 60-minute demo across all platforms. The demo’s availability will run from May 1 at 5 PM PDT until May 9 at 5 PM PDT in North America, UK players have it from May 2 at 1 AM BST until May 10 at 1 AM BST, and the rest of Europe will have the demo run from May 2 at 2 AM CEST until May 10 at 2 AM CEST.

The real deal arrives on May 7 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Google Stadia, and PC via Steam.

New Gameplay Teaser Shows off Key Mechanics for ‘Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days’ [Watch]

Over a year after it was first announced, developer PikPok has dropped a new gameplay teaser for their upcoming entry in the Into the Dead series with Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days. We still don’t have a release date for the zombie strategy game, which is currently in development for an Early Access release on Steam later this year.

The new gameplay teaser shows off Our Darkest Days‘ high tension atmosphere, including key gameplay mechanics such as crafting meals and tools, healing survivors suffering from physical and mental injuries, and of course, fighting off zombies.

“We’re really excited to be showing off a snippet of what we’ve been working on since our announcement trailer in 2023,” says Juliann Lum, PikPok senior product manager. “So much more has gone into the game, including new ways for survivors to interact with the world around them, each other, and of course the dangerous undead that infest the city of Walton.” Lum went on to say that more reveals for Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days are coming over the next few months.

Set in 1980 Texas, Into the Dead: Our Darkest Days is a 2.5D side-scroller where players must guide a group of survivors from shelter to shelter within the beleaguered Walton City, which is infested with the undead. Managing resources and survivors’ needs is crucial as players try to keep ahead of the rising threat while executing plans to escape the quarantined city area.

As mentioned, you’ll be scavenging for supplies, crafting tools and weapons, as well as fighting off the undead, all the while keeping constant movement as the zombie threat closes in. While their experiences will lead survivors to gain new skills, players will also need to manage their physical and psychological needs, as Our Darkest Days has a permadeath mechanic.
