A Resident Evil 2 demo is coming -- Capcom confirmed that some time ago -- but could it be releasing later this week? From where we're sitting, the evidence is starting to add up.
Back in December of last year, a listing for the Resident Evil 2 'One-Shot' demo was spotted on the Xbox store, and it was tagged with a release date of the 11th January -- that's this Friday. Capcom didn't comment on the situation, but it obviously left fans wondering.
There's been no news since, but here's where things get interesting: Capcom has announced that it's hosting a "special" Resident Evil 2 livestream on that same day, Friday the 11th January. At this point, it's looking very likely that the stream will be used to help roll out the demo.
Will you be playing the Resi 2 demo, or are you saving yourself for the full release later this month? Don't let them get too close in the comments section below.
Update: And just like that, the rumour has been confirmed. Get the details on the Resident Evil 2 1-Shot Demo through here.

Hell yeah I'll be all over that demo like the T-virus on a stinking, shambling undead corpse.
I'll be sinking my gnashers into this demo, fo sho.
i hope Capcom release demo on PS4 beside xbox one at same time on 11th
I said that I would skip the demo and go straight to the main game in a related article, but I am kinda tempted to try it out now. Nah, I think I can still hold off.
@Turismo4GT That would be stupid if Capcom release demo for only xbox one this week on 11th before demo for ps4 version coming out next week 18th.. PS4 fans might be pissing off if it not coming to PS4 on 11th along Xbox one
Never played the original Resi2 but all I can hope is that they keep both the "hey, it's up to us to take out Umbrella" and the song that comes after it.
As for the demo hell yeah I'll be playing it. There are no other games coming out this month that interest me.
@ResidentEvil2 did... did you just @ me when you're the one that made that statement? A'ight, you do you, bruh 🤣
@Turismo4GT yep i reply to you, xD.. i want try it out on demo to see how does RE 2 look especially visually graphic and how good does gameplay is. i don't have xbox one anymore because i sold it for 200 dollars last month
@ResidentEvil2 👍🏽 I guess with that user name you will be playing yourself when the game comes out, eh? Also, I think the game will look great on all systems, but I'm with you, I only have a PS4 so I am actually looking forward to Digital Foundry's analysis on how the Sony version holds up to the other versions. I think Sony has a marketing deal with Capcom for RE2, so you'll be seeing a lot of push for this title from them.
@Turismo4GT yep it is one of my most anticipated games beside DMC 5, Days Gone and other games are unknown like The last of us 2, Ghost of Tsushima and Death Stranding that doesn't have release date yet
I absolutely can not wait for this game...so yeah,despite saying I wouldn't bother with the demo as I'll be getting it anyway,I need to play it NOW..So I will.
For those not planning to play demo, what if the demo turns out to be like the resident evil 7 demo, where its a stage that's not in the main game? Wont you regret it?
Will definitely play it on Xbox One.
Eh, why not, I'll give the demo a try. I'm hyped for it.
