Capcom is bringing a taste of Resident Evil 3 to fans ahead of the game's release scheduled for April 3. Starting March 19, a demo of Resident Evil 3 will be available for download on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

The demo will reveal a brand new cinematic trailer exclusive to demo participants upon completion and will be available starting March 19 at 00:00 h ET / 04:00 h GMT / 05:00 h CET on Xbox One and 13:00 h ET / 17:00 h GMT / 18:00 h CET on PlayStation 4 and Steam.

Also, Capcom announced that players will be able to test limits their limits with a challenging Mr. Charlie scavenger hunt within the Raccoon City demo. Twenty Mr. Charlie statues are hidden (some in plain sight) across Raccoon City, which players must seek and destroy while they're being chased by Nemesis.

But wait, there's more. Capcom revealed that later this month, Resident Evil fans will also get a sneak peek at Resident Evil Resistance, the asymmetrical 4 vs 1 multiplayer game that is included with Resident Evil 3.

An open beta will go live on March 27, which lets players take on the role of Daniel Fabron, one of the game’s four Masterminds. In turn, players can band together as one of four of the six Survivors, each possessing a unique ability to help their team escape the experiment before time runs out.
