RE2make demo brings chills and thrills to all platforms

Resident Evil 2 Remake is getting a demo on all platforms later this week, and it should be pretty stressful (but in a good way).

Today Capcom announced RE2make's 1 Shot demo, a short but deliciously sweet slice of the remake's zombie-slaying horror. The demo is open to everyone (no pre-order needed) and has a stressful countdown clock that sees players scrambling for survival and adapting to Raccoon City's bloody chaos. After 30 minutes of play you're locked out of the demo, adding more thrill to the experience by forcing you to make every second count.

Insofar as content, the demo will resemble the gameplay shown off at E3 2018 and takes place in the Raccoon City Police Department, complete with remastered visuals built with the latest REngine technology. It'll drop this Friday, January 11, 2019 on PS4, Xbox One and PC.

"Once those thirty minutes are up, so is your demo! Fortunately, you can continue if you die, or if you complete the mission objective. However, just like in real life, you can't turn back the clock and you won't be getting back the time you lost, so use what time you have wisely," Capcom wrote on a Unity post.

The full Resident Evil 2 Remake game is slated to release on January 25, 2019 on all platforms.
