A Limited Time “1-Shot Demo” Event for Resident Evil 2 is on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC!

Do you have what it takes to complete Resident Evil 2 ” 1-Shot” demo? If you enjoy horror games or all things zombie related, be sure to check below for my experience with the game and the press release from Capcom! Enjoy!

This past weekend I attempted to try the Resident Evil 1-Shot Demo. Now, this wasn’t my first time. I had the pleasure of trying it out during SDCC 2017 at the Capcom booth. When I tried the demo the first time, I was testing it out on XBOX. I am not familiar with XBOX controls, nor do I play scary games. So that did not go too well.

For my second attempt, I played it on PS4. I was definitely better with controls but still TERRIFIED of the game, my chest was in knots and I kept screaming and running away from the zombies. The display is very dark, which gives it a really scary feel, especially since you can’t see the zombies lurking about. And… the eerie sounds,  if the visuals already freak you out… the sounds will too. It is loud. Luckily, this time I had the comfort of my friends cheering me on as I attempted to get from one room to another, trying to solve puzzles. Unfortunately, I died before my 30 mins were up. There were a ton of jump scares & it is a perfect horror game to watch someone else play if you’re too scared to play like me. If any of this sounds like entertainment to you check out below for the announcement trailer & more details about the game.

A Limited Time “1-Shot Demo” Event for Resident Evil 2 is Coming to PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC!
Horror fans around the world will get an intense sneak peek at Capcom’s hotly anticipated title Resident Evil 2 before its launch with a special demo event starting this week for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC players via Steam. Available to download for a limited time from Jan. 11 to Jan. 31, this will be the first opportunity for fans to experience the completely reimagined horror classic from home.


Aptly named the “1-Shot Demo,” players must take on the challenge of surviving the horrors of Raccoon City in just 30 minutes. If players complete the mission objective under 30 minutes, they can restart the mission until they use up their full time. If players succumb to the zombies during their 30 minutes, they can continue any number of times until the full 30 minutes have been reached.


The end of the demo reveals a brand new cinematic trailer exclusive to demo participants. While players cannot restart the playable demo after their time is up, there are no limitations on how many times the trailer can be viewed.

In the “1-Shot demo,” players step into the boots of rookie police officer Leon S. Kennedy as he arrives at Raccoon City Police Station in the ultimate worst first day on the job. Leon must survive vicious zombies and solve puzzles to find safe passage out of the station. With an entire building of flesh-eating nightmares lurking between Leon and his escape while the clock ticks down, players need to be sure they’re killing more than just time.
