Back in January, Capcom hosted a specialResident Evilshowcase that focused on what the company had planned for the franchise’s 25th anniversary. It was then confirmed that a secondResident Evilshowcase would be taking place prior toResident Evil Village’s launch on May 7, though specific details weren’t revealed. Capcom has since confirmed exactly when fans can watch theResident Evilshowcase in April, and what they can expect from the event.
The nextResident Evilshowcase will take place on Thursday, April 15 at 3:00pm PT. The stream will once again be hosted by Brittney Brombacher, who has revealed some of whatResident Evilfans can expect to see at the show. According to Brombacher, Capcom will be showing off a brand new trailer forResident Evil Village, along with some never-before-seen gameplay footage. Brombacher teased some surprises as well, though fans will have to tune in on April 15 to learn more.

While Brombacher didn’t elaborate on theResident Evilsurprises that the showcase has up its sleeve, one of the surprises is almost certainly the next demo. It was confirmed awhile ago that there would be asecondResident Evil Villagedemoat some point before the game’s launch, and so it would be more surprising if the showcasedidn’treveal the second demo.
With theResident Evil Villagerelease datecoming up so soon, one can expect the April showcase to focus almost entirely on the new game. However, that doesn’t mean that otherResident Evilannouncements won’t take place during the event. As some may recall, the previousResident Evilshowcase focused on more than justResident Evil Village, like theRe:Versemultiplayer game and theResident Evil: Infinite DarknessNetflix series.
It’s quite possible that theResident Evilshowcase on April 15 will also focus on more than justResident Evil Village. Perhaps fans will learn more about theRe:Versemultiplayer game, or maybe they will get a fresh look atResident Evil: Infinite Darkness. Alternatively, maybe the live-actionResident Evilmovie reboot, currently titledResident Evil: Welcome to Raccoon City, will be featured. However, it’s also possible that Capcom will exclusively focus onResident Evil Village, so fans should keep that in mind.
Meanwhile, if a secondResident Evil Villagedemo is announced at the showcase, it will be interesting to see if it’s still PlayStation exclusive. While theResident Evil VillageMaiden demo was PlayStation exclusive, Capcom has previously said that the next demo would be coming to more platforms, though it’s possible that there will still be a period of exclusivity for PlayStation consoles. But that’s just speculation at this time, andResident Evilfans will just have to tune in to the April 15 showcase to find out more.
