New demo - limited-time gaming fun
As part of the new showcase on April 15, Capcom has finally announced the start of the second demo. It is offered on all release platforms and starts on May 2nd, 2021. The demo is limited in time and can only be played for one day, so you should keep your calendar free.In the demo you have the Possibility to explore a much larger area than in the Maiden demo. There you were only in the castle, now you can explore both the castle and the eponymous village. This gives you an insight into all the features of the finished game - that is, battles, puzzles and exploration. But you don't have much time for sightseeing, because the playtime of the demo itself is limited. According to Capcom, it's over after 60 minutes and you can choose whether you'd rather spend your time in the castle, in the village, or in both. At the time of going to press, Capcom could not tell us whether you can restart the demo afterwards.
