If you can’t wait for the release of the Resident Evil 2 remake on January 25th and want a chance to play event the tiniest amount of the game before the game is out, then Capcom has the perfect gift for you. Releasing on Friday January 11th, 2019. A very limited-timed demo called the Resident Evil 2 “1-shot demo” will be available on PS4, Xbox One and PC. The catch, you will only have 30-minutes to play the demo.
The demo will allow players to enjoy what they can from the game and complete a specific scenario within the 30 minute time-limit. Completing your objective or getting killed by a zombie does not revert your time limit and once the 30 minutes is up, the game will lock itself.
There is an reward that is exclusive to the demo, a new cinematic trailer. Once the demo is completed, players will be able to watch the trailer as many times as they would like.
It’s a weird marketing ploy but it might pay off, after all the Resident Evil 2 Remake has been one of the more anticipated releases in a year full of high profile games and we’re all dying to get our hands on the game.
