Update: Well, would you look at that? Capcom has now confirmed that the Resident Evil 3 demo will actually release a day earlier than anticipated on Thursday 19th March. That's just a few days away, while a Resident Evil Resistance open beta will follow a week later on Friday 27th March. There doesn't appear to be a time limit on the demo this time around, with those who manage to see it through to completion treated to a completely new cinematic cutscene.
Original article: It's understandable if you've been itching to get your hands on Resident Evil 3 after it was confirmed a PlayStation 4 demo is on its way and you had a good read of our preview piece for the game a few weeks back. Capcom's second remake in as many years has the potential to top Resident Evil 2, and you might have the chance to see that for yourself at the end of this week.
According to Aesthetic Gamer on Twitter, who is a known Capcom insider that recently helped with the Silent Hills on PS5 rumour, claims that the playable teaser is on its way to PS4 this Friday. We don't know what shape the demo will take just yet, whether it'll be the same stretch of the experience we played or if there'll be a time limit or not, so expect these details to come alongside the official announcement. If Friday is indeed the day, those specifics are just around the corner.
Do you hope to be playing the Resident Evil 3 demo this Friday and across the weekend? Avoid Nemesis in the comments below.

That would be nice! Not sure about the game as I thought Mr X was the most annoying element of RE2, and this game supposedly is all about a similar enemy, so hopefully the demo can prove me wrong.
Sweet! Another time limit demo works for me to be honest. I dunno why I am so excited for this game, I hate being stalked through horror games by unbeatable monsters
@ShaiHulud I wonder if you'll even encounter Nemesis in the demo..?
Looking forward to this demo. I pre-ordered the game months ago
A 1 shot demo would be cool again.
It's a system that lures more people towards the demo out of curiosity and to see how long they can manage. Plus more potential buyers of the game.
Would be nice if the demo does not feature nemesis though. I rather have him be a "surprise" for the full game.
RE3 is the only game I never played in the main series back in the day so looking forward to this
@kyleforrester87 I'd imagine it would be right near the end of it if we're gonna see him, just a little taste 😟
really looking forward to giving it a try, even though my preorder is already paid for, itll be nice walking the streets of Raccoon again
@kyleforrester87 Yeah, probably not or maybe right near the end as @RedMan33 said. Still, I'll probably buy it somewhere down the line anyway as I enjoyed the original one a lot and I'd like to see what they've done with it.
sweet! I hope it is true👍
I'm going to try and resist the temptation to play the demo as I've already pre-ordered and would rather and play the whole thing fresh.
Time will tell if my resolve holds.
If it’s true then I gotta squeeze in time for this because I’ll be all over Animal Crossing this weekend.
As long as there's no time limits, I'll be eager to give this a try.
@ShaiHulud I hope you don't say the samething about nemesis and then continue to whine about it
@Undeadlogan I apologise for stating an opinion that doesn't correspond to yours!
Nice one. Hopefully I'll enjoy it more than a certain other recent demo.
@Undeadlogan
Let go, man. You seem hell bent on picking on people who happen to have a different opinion than yours. He stated his, in a polite fashion, so stop trying to start a fight K?
Neat-o. Can't wait to give the demo a try.
I can't wait for soul crushing anxiety! This game will remove years from my life but I'll end up liking it anyway 😆
N.i.c.e. cant wait.the graphics looks amazing.my ps4 pro is ready.word ☝ up son
Smart to release it before Friday alot of people myself included will be playing doom for the next few weeks
Quick question, if I download this demo, will it appear in my Library forever? Or will it disappear when I purchase the game?
I was never really into demos, but I'm looking forward to more RE.
You fits PS when I saw Resistance BETA I was like omg Fall of Man is coming to PS4 but no its RE Resistance
I've already played this during a trip to my local Tesco, it was like an apocalypse with people wandering around empty aisles and the nemesis was a fat lady who wanted the 12 pack of toilet roll in my trolley. Scary sh*t
@gollumb82 picking on someone? You're joking right? And didn't you guys whine over the nemesis nose,the characters New looks and the characters swearing?
@Undeadlogan
Nope, not me at least. Anyway, it is a fact that Capcom has changed some things in that respect, but I don't care. Going to enjoy the game. Unless, Nemesis turns out to be such a menace as to spoil my enjoyment of it. We'll see.
@Undeadlogan Now now, it'll be fine. There's a reasonable chance you'll grow out of it.
@gollumb82 ok I'll see you in the streets of raccoon city and then food time
@ShaiHulud are you gonna have fun in raccoon city in a couple weeks?
@Undeadlogan
Nah, doubtful. I never buy games day one (with small exceptions) so when I do buy it you probably will have decomposed completely. Also, I don't care about Resistance.
@Undeadlogan I don't think so as I've yet to complete the second char run and as I said, I'm not convinced by the mr X style gimmick.
@gollumb82 resistance is a multiplayer mode so don't know why you guy's are whining and talking crap about it's multiplayer mode plus why you guy's didn't talk crap resident evil 5,revelations,6 and revelations 2 multiplayer modes and versus modes
@ShaiHulud did you say the samething about 2 and 3 back then?
@Undeadlogan
Again, not me. I never whined about multiplayer because I don't care about it, at all. Guess you're trying too hard to keep this conversation going.
@gollumb82 then stop responding if you don't care princess
