As we all gear up for another horrifying adventure with Capcom’s next inclusion into the long running Resident Evil franchise, the multifaceted developer/publisher revealed today the existence of a Resident Evil 6 Demo. Resident Evil 6 was recently announced only a few weeks ago, as the days approach more content and news is getting revealed. Today, by way of the press release for Dragons Dogma, Capcom confirmed rumors that Resident Evil 6 will in fact receive a playable demo. To get your hands on the demo you only need to purchase Dragons Dogma when it releases on May 22nd. Here’s how the demo distribution will work.

“Retail versions of Dragon’s Dogma will contain a redeemable token that will allow owners to download the Resident Evil 6 demo. Purchasers of the Xbox 360 version of Dragon’s Dogma will be able to redeem this token and download the Resident Evil 6 demo globally on the Xbox LIVE® Marketplace for Xbox 360 60 days earlier than any other platform starting on July 3. The demo for owners of the PlayStation®3 system version of Dragon’s Dogma will go live on the PlayStation®Store on Sept. 4 in North America and Japan and Sept. 5 in Europe.”

I personally think this is great news, but the demo release is just so far away. I would have taken the news even better if the demo's release was closer. Also, purchasing the game for the demo is kinda of a drag, but Dragons Dogma Looks pretty good, so this should be a win win either way.
