The cat was previously let out of the bag a little early ahead of the demo going live. As noted by several Resident Evil fans on Twitter, an advertisement for the demo was spotted by fans.

The demo itself finally went live immediately following the March 2023 Capcom Spotlight Digital Showcase event, which, as we know now, was the plan all along.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Demo Release Date

As expected, the Resident Evil 4 Remake demo has now been released following the Capcom Digital Showcase on March 9, 2023. With the full launch only being a few weeks away, this was naturally the perfect time to make the trail available to the public.

According to the video exhibited during the showcase, the “Chainsaw Demo” will take place during the beginning of the game when Leon initially enters a European village. The trial will also apparently have no time limit, allowing fans to play it as many times as they want.

The Chainsaw Demo is now available on multiple platforms including the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. Head to your platform’s relevant store to download it now.

Unfortunately, Xbox One users won’t be able to access the demo as it wasn’t included with the listed of compatible systems. If you want to check out more of what was displayed during the showcase, then you can check out the trailer below.

Players will also be able to quench their RE4 thirst by playing through the ARG entitled “Baby Eagle Is Missing.” This will take fans on a trip through the events that transpired before Leon’s eventual adventure. Though it mainly focuses on solving puzzles and introducing additional lore on the kidnapping of Ashley Graham, it’s still a welcome appetizer for devoted franchise followers.

The full game of the Resident Evil 4 Remake, meanwhile, is set to launch on March 17, 2023 on Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4 and PC.
