Capcom shares details of the second Resident Evil Village demo and talks about the technical specifications of the console versions
As expected, Capcom also shared details of the second public demo of Resident Evil Village as part of the second edition of its Resident Evil Showcase newsletter.
Unlike Maiden, the upcoming “probe” will be limited in time: players will have only 60 minutes to explore the castle and the village. The whole hour, if desired, can be spent in one of the locations.
PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 5 owners will be able to check out both parts of the demo before the rest. Each of the two 30-minute segments will be available for download and play for only 8 hours (preload is already open):
- Village – from April 18 (20:00 Moscow time) to April 19 (until 4:00);
- Castle – from April 25 (20:00 Moscow time) to April 26 (until 4:00).
The full demo will be released on all Resident Evil Village target platforms – PC (Steam), PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X, and S – on May 2 at 3:00 AM ET and will remain available for download for 24 hours.
Capcom also revealed what performance and resolution metrics (and operating modes) to expect in Resident Evil Village on consoles:
- PlayStation 5 – 4K @ 45 fps (with ray tracing) and 4K @ 60 fps (without);
- PlayStation 4 Pro – 4K @ 30fps (in quality mode) and 1080p @ 60fps (in performance mode);
- PlayStation 4 – 900p @ 45fps;
- Xbox Series X – 4K @ 45 fps (with ray tracing) and 4K @ 60 fps (without);
- Xbox Series S – 1440p @ 30fps (with ray tracing) and 1440p @ 45fps (without);
- Xbox One X – 4K @ 30fps (in quality mode) and 1080p @ 60fps (in performance mode);
- Xbox One – 900p @ 30fps
The release of Resident Evil Village is expected on May 7 this year. Resident Evil Showcase’s second issue also featured The Mercenaries mode and a fourth trailer for the game.
