Capcom has announced that they have brought back the
Resident Evil 2 demo for players to try out the game, except this time they have completely removed the 30-minute time limit; giving players the chance to explore the Raccoon City Police Department at their leisure.
What's even more interesting is the fact that the new demo for
Resident Evil 2 now features a
Resident Evil 3 easter egg; one that has Nemesis — the third game's main antagonist — screaming the name "S.T.A.R.S.", and that can be triggered by walking outside of the station.
This Nemesis easter egg is not present in the full version of the
Resident Evil 2 remake, and it has likely been added as a nice reference now that Capcom has officially announced that a remake of
Resident Evil 3: Nemesis is in the works; adding this easter egg, regardless of the recently announced remake, would've still been a nice touch, though.
With the announcement of the
Resident Evil 2 demo, Capcom also released a very short trailer to let everyone know that this new demo is currently available for players to download, so be sure to check it out down below.
Take a look:
The genre-defining masterpiece Resident Evil 2 returns, completely re-built from the ground up for a deeper narrative experience. Using Capcom’s proprietary RE Engine, Resident Evil 2 offers a fresh take on the classic survival horror saga with breathtakingly realistic visuals, heart-poundingly immersive audio, a new over-the-shoulder camera, and modernized controls on top of gameplay modes from the original game.
Resident Evil 2 is currently available for the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC(Steam).
