Don't Expect a Resident Evil Requiem Demo, Capcom Has 'No Plans'

Publisher Capcom appears to confirm that Resident Evil Requiem won't be receiving a pre-launch demo.

For many of the previous games in the series, Capcom has released some form of playable demo ahead of release, allowing fans to take the latest survival horror title for a spin.

Even going as far back as Resident Evil 6, the company has kept up a streak of demos for the franchise, but it seems Requiem might be breaking the combo.

Speaking during an interview with Stevivor, producer Masato Kumazawa is asked whether one is coming for the next title.

"So, in terms of a demo play, we actually have no plan for one [for the general public] at the stage," he says. "None at all. We just want to focus on finishing off the game. Our development team is just doing its best to make sure that it’s creating the best quality game; to make sure that it’s a fine product."

It would be a shame to see no public demo for Requiem, again because Capcom has previously been so consistent with them in the past.

Requiem is scheduled for release on 27th February 2026, so it's only a few months away, which isn't all that long to wait in the grand scheme of things.

Still, we imagine fans were expecting, or at least hoping, for a playable demo of some kind before launch to get a taste of the upcoming game.

We suppose plans can change, and a demo may appear, but we wouldn't hold our breath.
