PlayStation 5 users, meanwhile, will be receiving an exclusive demo, “Maiden,” in which the titular protagonist must escape a dungeon with no combat abilities. The demo launches Thursday, with a separate demo set to debut on other consoles in the spring.
The showcase also revealed Capcom’s plans for the franchise’s 25th anniversary, starting with a new multiplayer experience called Resident Evil Re:Verse. Re:Verse, available for free to anyone who purchases RE8, is a multiplayer combat game starring characters from across the Resident Evil franchise.
Other anniversary-related announcements included a quick look at the upcoming Netflix series Resident Evil: Infinite Darkness and a partnership with Ubisoft which will bring RE-themed content to The Division 2.
