New Resident Evil 6 Demo Released

If you're not too busy playing Borderlands 2, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 owners can download a new demo of Resident Evil 6, Capcom said today. The demo is different from the one packed in with Dragon's Dogma.

The demo contains three sections, all highlighting action from each of the three playable campaigns for Leon, Chris, and Jake:

Play as either Leon S. Kennedy or Helena Harper and further explore the dark corridors and moonlit grounds of Ivy University, swarming with the victims of the latest bioterrorist attack.

The action in Jake’s mission switches to the neon-lit streets of Lanshiang as he and Sherry Berkin fight off the new J’avo enemies, including their fully mutated forms. Jake’s special hand-to- hand combat moves and Sherry’s stun baton are pivotal in their struggle to stay alive.

Showcasing the global setting in Resident Evil 6, Chris Redfield and Piers Nivans head with fellow BSAA team members to the war-ravaged streets of Edonia. The amassed J’avo forces provide a stiff enough challenge, but that’s before the three-story high B.O.W. Ogroman crashes the party. Select Piers for a slightly different weapons loadout than Chris including a sniper rifle with thermal scope.

Resident Evil 6 releases across Europe and North America on October 2. A PC version will follow soon, Capcom said.

  • I'd probably have this downloaded by now, but xbox live has been having some issues. Just finally was able to start downloading the demo. I can't wait to finally play it.
  • i will play it, as soon as i am done with Borderlands 2.........
  • I won't be too busy playing Borderlands 2. However, I will be extremely busy weeping softly into my pillow because I can't afford to pick it up any time in the near future. I'll see if I can find the time to squeeze in this demo.
  • That PC demo can't come soon enough. I need to see how beautiful it runs on my rig.
  • Played it this morning.  Better than the Dragons Dogma demo...still an in-development version though..so not really reflective of the final game per say.  I did enjoy what I played though!  Looking anxiously forward to Oct 2nd!  Luckily I have Borderlands 2 to tide me over until then!

  • I don't think the PlayStation Store has updated yet, but when it does I'll be playing the demo right until the Borderlands stream. Then after that, I'll probably just play the hell out of it since I don't have Borderlands 2. That is, unless I win it during the stream. ^_^
  • Can't believe I nearly forgot this demo. Definitely downloading when I get home from work.

  • You guys should mention that it's only available to gold members...you got me excited...
  • I don't see it on PSN. :(
  • I plan to download and play this over the weekend, in between my Borderlands 2 playthroughs.

  • Well I know what I'm doing tonight
  • About to go pick up Borderlands, but i will probably check this out as well. It's odd, I've had such a dry spell with gaming lately and its hitting me really hard today. I'ts good to be back!

  • I'll be checking this out later.

  • Demos are always good but how many demos are out for this game??? And hey, Crapcom... Why don't you focus on Mega Man?!
  • It's almost 1:30 pm here and no demo yet oh well... And please tell me you don't have to be a playstation plus member to play it if it comes to that I'll just wait until October 2nd and pick up the game
  • cant wait till I get home! the suspense is killing me

  • Looking forward to checking out the new demo. I wanna see if they ironed out the kinks from the last.(Even though I still enjoyed the hell out of the last) Oct. 2nd can not come soon enough lol!
  • Just finished it. I didn't like the little waypoints that were always on the screen, and I thought the computer get a little trigger happy at times on Leon's campaign, making it hard for me to aim my shots, but other than that, I thought it was great. Really looking forward to it. Chris' campaign is nuts.
  • "all highlighting action from..." Stopped reading there... -_- Ok, I am going to go take some aspirin, sit in my pool and relax, then force myself to see what they've done to this series, and prepare myself for the absolute worst. Man, it was a good ride while it lasted.
  • Not in PS Store yet.
