Resident Evil 5 demo coming West, but later

By Patrick Garratt

Capcom’s confirmed that the December 5 Resident Evil 5 demo announced for Japan yesterday will make it west, but it’s going to take longer.

“What does this mean to you, Joe Sixpack, denizen of the Land of the Free and the Home of the Collapsing Economy? Not much,” said Capcom on its blog.

“Resident Evil 5 is still on track for the previously-announced Friday the 13th, March 2009, release in both North America and Europe. Fear not, we will also be seeing demos for both the 360 and PS3 versions of the game, but they will be hitting N. America a bit later than the Japanese demo. Stay tuned, more to come on the demos soon!”
