The Resident Evil 3 remake is just a couple of weeks away but Capcom is allowing players to experience a taste of that horror ahead of launch. Unlike the "One Shot" demo that premiered ahead of Resident Evil 2 in 2019, you aren't limited in how many times you can play this demo. As a result, it's a good way to familiarize yourself with the new controls and some of the new action-oriented abilities you have — which you'll need against the terrifying threat of Nemesis.

The demo goes live on March 19 and is now up on PS4 in all regions.

The demo is roughly 7.47GB in size, so make sure you have that much free space. The demo is live in New Zealand right now, so you can find it at this link. We'll be updating this post as it becomes available in other regions. Do note that on PS4, you cannot change your region, so you'll need to wait until it becomes available where you are.

After completing the demo, you'll get to see an exclusive new trailer. Resident Evil 3 is scheduled to release on April 3, 2020 for Xbox One, PC and PlayStation 4.
