Resident Evil 4 demo release: Did Capcom make a mistake or drop a surprise?

Sometimes unexpected events happen, the kind that happen more because of a silly mistake than something premeditated. And if not, just ask Capcom, which tonight celebrates its Capcom Spotlight (here we tell you all the information about the event) and maybe the biggest surprise has been revealed… because of an absurd mistake.

The bug is so silly it’s scary. It turns out that a few hours ago an advertisement for Resident Evil 4 Remake started popping up on Twitch. So far so normal, as Amazon‘s streaming platform puts advertising before or during each broadcast. However, the ad had a particularity: at the end of it appeared in large “Demo available now”. So easy and simple.

Users who have received this announcement have not taken long to communicate it on social networks. In fact, many have even taken a screenshot to immortalize the moment (like the one you can see in the tweet attached to this news item).

As the reader may well remember, in the last PlayStation State of Play it was announced that Resident Evil 4 Remake would have a demo in the future. The exact day was not known, only that it would arrive before the launch of the game. Considering that it arrives on March 24 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox X Series | S and PC, the demo coming out today is perfect. It’s two weeks before the release of the long-awaited fourth installment, an ideal time to start getting more hype if possible.

We are looking forward to returning to take the reins of Ashley, Leon and all those characters that have marked part of the history of the videogame. Two decades later, we will return to that godforsaken village.
