Meanwhile, it appears that Capcom is locked and loaded for the upcoming release of Resident Evil 3 remake. Recently, the developer released gameplay previews of the remake, giving players a preview on what to expect from the upcoming game. Additionally, the new gameplay footage of Resident Evil 3 confirmed that the dodge mechanic and explosive items will be making a return in the upcoming game.
Moreover, Capcom also announced last week that just like Resident Evil 2 and 7, Resident Evil 3 remake will be getting a playable demo. Unfortunately, details about when the demo will release and what it will cover are still being kept under wraps. However, based on Capcom's history with releasing demos, it is possible the playable preview will come out two weeks before the game's release at the very least.
