Capcom Is Launching a RESIDENT EVIL 3 Demo This Week and RESIDENT EVIL RESISTANCE Open Beta Later This Month
Resident Evil 3 is going to release at the start of April, but Capcom is going to give fans a sneak peek later this week. On March 19, fans will be able to play the Resident Evil 3: Raccoon City Demo on PC (via Steam), PS4, and Xbox One. If you complete the demo, you’ll also be given access to a new cinematic trailer. In addition, players are being challenged by Capcom to find the 20 Mr. Charlie statues that they’ve hidden while Nemesis is hot on their heels. The demo will be available at 12 AM ET on Xbox One and 1 PM ET on PC and PS4.
Resident Evil 3 stars Jill Valentine – one of video games’ most iconic heroines – as she escapes from a doomed Raccoon City while being pursued by the unrelenting bioweapon Nemesis. The horrific settings from the original game and new content come to life as never before with RE Engine, previously utilized to create the acclaimed Resident Evil 7 biohazard, Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5 with high-definition graphics and modernized gameplay mechanics.
As an added bonus, fans will be able to try the brand new Resident Evil Resistance game that will be bundled with Resident Evil 3. An open beta for the asymmetrical 4v1 multiplayer experience will go live on March 27. During this beta, fans will have access to one mastermind: Daniel Fabron. The beta will go live on PS4 and Xbox One at 3 AM ET and on PC starting at 1 PM ET.
In Resident Evil Resistance, one Mastermind plots a deadly course by wielding a strategic deck of cards that create dangerous obstacles for a group of Survivors desperate to escape including vicious creatures, traps, ways to manipulate the environment, and weaponization of security cameras. In turn, Survivors must work together using their own special abilities and items they come across to thwart the Mastermind, and escape the experiment before time runs out.
