Resident Evil Village showcase round-up
Capcom’s Resident Evil Village showcase was streamed live yesterday, and there’s a PlayStation 5 demo live right now.
In a surprise twist, the world-premiere of Resident Evil Village gameplay footage was not the most exciting thing about the stream.
The so-called Maiden demo is available for PlayStation 5 owners right now, and pre-orders for both standard and digital editions have opened. Capcom also introduced a free multiplayer game called Resident Evil Re:Verse which will be included with Resident Evil Village.
