Update (3/9/2022): The Resident Evil 4 Chainsaw Demo was officially confirmed during Thursday's Capcom Spotlight showcase. This is being touted as a trial version of the upcoming remake, one that takes place as Leon first enters the desolate European village. The demo will have no time limit and players are encouraged to try it out as often as they want. The demo will run on PC (via Steam), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.

Original story: With the Capcom Spotlight showcase nearly upon us, Resident Evil fans are gearing up to see even more footage of Resident Evil 4 remake ahead of its release on March 24. Not only will Resident Evil 4 remake be present in Capcom’s Spotlight showcase, it seems like a demo for the game is set to drop sometime later this evening as well.

The news of a demo for Resident Evil 4 remake was shared by various sources on social media like @DanisabeastXD (as shared by outlets like Destructoid) who all saw the same ad on Twitch that seemingly released a bit early as it suggests the demo is available now. This is not yet the case, but it certainly could be later today following the Capcom Spotlight showcase.
