Details on the Resident Evil 5 demo have been revealed. So far it has only been announced for the Xbox 360 via the Xbox Live Marketplace. The demo is scheduled to release in Japan on December 5th.
To download the demo you will need to be signed up to Xbox Live Gold. Thankfully, not only will you get two stages based around the African town of Kijuju, but you’ll also be able to play the entire demo in online co-op mode!
Capcom also announced the goodies for Resident Evil 5 – Limited Edition. It will be available exclusively via the e-Capcom online store at www.capcom.com and will contain:
* The full Resident Evil 5 game.
* A 2GB USB drive shaped like a Tricell anti-virus vaccine capsule.
* A BSAA waist-pack modeled after the one Chris wears in the game.
* And an exclusive 32-page artbook with staff liner notes and commentary.
The Japanese people will be able to order the limited edition of Resident Evil 5 starting on December 4th.
“I would like to sincerely thank everyone who visited Capcom’s booth at the 2008 Tokyo Game Show,” producer Jun Takeuchi told Famitsu. “A lot of visitors commented about how they couldn’t wait any longer to play the game, which I genuinely appreciated hearing. All of us on the team were inspired by that to cut the remaining development period down…even if it is by only a week!”
