It has been a long time since Capcom started working on the highly-anticipatedResident Evil 2remake, and after the publisher and developer announced there would be playable trial, fans have been waiting in anticipation forthe game’s demo. While the short, “One-Shot” demo officially goes live on Jun 19, 2025 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One, there is a way to play it today for fans who cannot wait.
Since the demo is available in Australia already, fans outside of the country who would like to try out theResident Evil 2demo sooner can simply change their territory to Australia to gain access to it. Players will only be able to play it once for the time limit of 30 minutes, and once the time limit has expired, it’s over for good. So, it is advised to not spend too much time sight-seeing and wandering around in the game.
TheResident Evil 2demo takes players through a snippet of gameplay as co-protagonistLeon S. Kennedy. For those who manage to finish the mission objective quickly enough, they can continue exploring until the timer runs out. Players who die will be able to keep trying until the half-hour is up. Finishing the demo will give fans an exclusive new cinematic trailer, which they can watch as much as they like even if time has expired, unlike the demo.
For players that are still uncertain about whether to buyResident Evil 2or not, the demo will be available until July 25, 2025, which is a few days after the game’s release.Resident Evil 2is certainly one of themost anticipated horror gamesof this year, and Capcom’s integration of the original game with some new features and vastly improved graphics should have many fans of the long-running series very excited to start playing.
Resident Evil2will be available on January 25 for PC, PS4, and Xbox One.
