Capcom has announced that Resident Evil Village will be released for last-gen consoles as well as current-gen systems and PC when it arrives later this year.
The game’s July 10, 2025 release date was confirmed during a specialResident EvilShowcase event on Thursday.
Producer Peter Fabiano confirmed that players will be able to upgrade thePS4version of the game to the digitalPS5version for free.
Resident Evil Villageis in development forXbox Series X/SandXbox Onetoo. It will launch on all platforms simultaneously, according to its latest trailer, which can be viewed below.
Capcomalso used Thursday’s showcase to announce a PS5 exclusive Resident Evil Village demo which sees players taking on the role of a character called the Maiden as she attempts to escape from Dimitrescu Castle.
The demo, which doesn’t feature combat or blocking, is available to download today, with a separate, new demo for all platforms set to launch this spring.
“Maiden is a demo that’s separate from Resident Evil Village,” Fabiano toldPlayStation Blog. “However, it does take place in the same world as RE Village does.
“When you play Resident Evil Village, or, perhaps, you come back to Maiden after playing the main game, you might discover the connections they have to each other.”
