The fans have been heard and Capcom has listened; Capcom has acknowledged the demand and extends the Resident Evil Village demo to one week instead of the original 24-hour period.
In a tweet, the demo will be live at the announced date of May 1 for North America, 5PM and will continue until May 9, 5PM PDT
For the UK, it will be on May 2, 1AM to May 10, AM BST. Europe on May 2, 2AM to May 10, 2AM CEST.
Resident Evil Village is set to launch on May 7, 2021. However, players may still have the chance to try the 30-minute “Castle” gameplay demo until today.

When the “customers” jump through hoops like this to try something which is meant to enhance the company’s ability to sell an item? Well, let’s just say the “customers”, are on the losing end of the negotiation, and showcase just how stupid humanity has become.
The point of the demo is to convince a person to buy the game. Here we have Capcom pulling stupid stunts as if teasing people with this demo, like teasing a dog with a treat, and people obey, like the good pets they have become to corporations.
It’s incredible to see the level of customer intelligence continue to fall further with each passing decade. We are neck deep in the era of the “pleb”.
