Resident Evil 7 Demo Not Part of Full Game, Has a Different Protagonist

If you're holding off on playing Resident Evil 7's demo in favor of waiting for the full game, then you might want to rethink that. Capcom confirmed to GameSpot that the demo is a prologue to Resident Evil 7 and a standalone experience--you won't find its content in the finished game. It also confirmed that the full game features a different protagonist than the one you play as in the demo.

The Resident Evil 7 demo is currently only available to PlayStation Plus subscribers on PS4. It was announced at Sony's E3 press conference, where it was revealed that it's "fully compatible with PlayStation VR."

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is set to release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on January 24, 2017. It will only be available in VR on PS4.
