After confusing us all across one weekend, Capcom is back to do it all over again with the Resident Evil Village Castle demo. While last weekend's playable teaser allowed us to explore the surrounding village, this time around we'll have the chance to venture inside Castle Dimitrescu and explore its rooms and meet the inhabitants. Once again, you will have exactly 30 minutes to look around and basically do whatever you like before the demo pulls you out and makes you wait until the full game's release date of 7th May 2021. The demo can be played on both PlayStation 5 and PS4.
If you're based in the US, you can play the Resident Evil Village Castle demo at:
- 5pm PDT on 24th April 2021 until 1am PDT on 25th April 2021
- 8pm EDT on 24th April 2021 until 4am EDT on 25th April 2021
Or, if you're from the UK or Europe, the eight-hour window you're looking at is:
- 6pm BST on 25th April 2021 until 2am BST on 26th April 2021
- 7pm CEST on 25th April 2021 until 3am CEST on 26th April 2021

🤔 yeah, I'mma just wait until the demo becomes playable with no time restrictions.
Think I might give this a miss until the game proper.
Plus, we're going to a BBQ on Sunday.
I’m just gunna get the game when it comes out, what I’ve seen of it looks good.
No. No I don't think I will.
Shoutout to the US Central Time zone, I don't have time for PDT -_-
Lmao because of my work schedule this gives me an hour and a half after work to come home and play this. I have a 45ish minute drive which means it’s more like 45 minutes, minus a few minutes for unexpected stuff. As a long time RE fan who will most likely be getting this near the launch this demo schedule is really irritating.
Holy crap, just make it available forever or for multiple days and put the timer on it. This is too much to even want to look at and plan around.
Totally ridiculous idea this timed demo stuff. Just release the demos proper for God's sake.
I will play this demo, but not until May when i can play it any time of day i want to.
Also won’t be playing. As much as I’d like to try this out, it’s not convenient. I don’t particularly agree with the timed element to this and hopefully we don’t see more of this type of thing. It’s too convoluted and doesn’t respect anyone’s time.
I still have a grand total of 36 hours total play on my PS5 since launch day. It’s currently boxed away and unfortunately it’s not worth settling up to meet the demands of Capcom’s marketing team.
Like a few others, I'll just wait for the full game. Which if I'm not mistaken, is only 2 weeks away🙂
Time restricted demos are not my thing so I will wait for the full game.
I do get that it's not convenient but I for one loved the centralising of the media for this.
I was pouring over the YouTube content Sunday night to see what everyone thought about it and it was great. It was like a mini Resi 8 event, and I'm sure I'll be doing the same this Sunday evening if I get chance.
I get that you could still get that with an unrestricted demo but it's much less likely in my opinion.
Maybe they just don't see the conversion rates from demo to sales like there used to be, and it's more related to TV/social media ads?
Just going to waIt for the game proper.
Unless the demos offer exclusive extra story content like the PS5 demo did, I will be skipping them.
