The second Resident Evil Village demo will focus on gameplay Resident Evil Village will have a second demo coming out before the game's launch, but this could happen as early as the next few days, considering it seems that the new trial version has already been uploaded to the game. internal PSN, currently unreachable by the public but practically ready.

The news comes from some sources such as MP1st, on the basis of which some new and specific SKUs have been detected for the four regions of the PSN (USA, Europe, Japan and Asia) entitled "Resident Evil Village Gameplay Demo" (called instead Biohazard in the Japanese version).

Although there are no confirmations yet, also considering that the Maiden demo has a previous name, this seems to be the new demo expected to arrive on all platforms before the release of Resident Evil Village.

This is a package of about 10 GB, from which some details related to the controls, which also seem to involve the use of Remote Play on PS Vita. What we can deduce from this "stealth" upload on PSN is that the second Resident Evil Village demo is practically ready and we are only waiting for the go-ahead from Capcom and Sony for its release to the public. The most popular idea, at this point, is that the demo can be made available at the new Resident Evil Showcase special event scheduled at midnight between 15 and 16 April. Similar to what happened with the first Maiden demo, it is likely that during the event, or shortly after, Capcom decides to make available the download of the second demo of the game.

The new demo, already announced some time ago, aims to show more closely the actual gameplay of Resident Evil Village, with an actual segment of the game, where the Maiden demo focused more on presenting the setting, atmosphere and new graphics.
