Resident Evil 8 Village: Demo exclusively for PS5 - Video shows complete run-through

The release date of Resident Evil 8 Village has been set: The new horror shocker will hit the shelves on May 7, as Capcom announced in a current presentation. Surprisingly, the publisher also released a demo that is available to download exclusively for PS5 players. In the free-to-play trial version, however, you do not slip into the role of protagonist Ethan Winters. Instead, you play a character known only as "the girl". In the "Maiden Demo" you try to escape from Dimitrescu Castle. The special feature: You can neither fight nor repel attacks.

The Maiden demo reflects an independent experience that is independent of the main game - like a kind of short story that takes place in the world of Resident Evil 8 Village Village. If you don't own a PlayStation 5 but still want to find out what impressions the Resi 8 demo gives, take a look at the video below. Note: Due to technical problems, the demo is currently not available in the German store - Capcom is working on a solution.
