With Resident Evil Revelations fast approaching its May 24 release date, Capcom have released a demo for the game onto Steam — which you can grab here.

The game originally started life as a Nintendo 3DS title, and has since been overhauled with HD graphics and tweaked for the PC. You can check out the PC specs and look at some screenshots by clicking here. It’s been one of the few Resident Evil games in recent years to actually get a positive reception from fans and critics alike, so it’ll be interesting to see how well it holds up when it finally launches.

Capcom are promising a return to the horror roots of Resident Evil with the upcoming HD remake of Resident Evil: Revelations, and they’ve gathered together some of the development team to talk about just how scary the original games were.

Whether they’ll be able to translate that into an actually scary experience this time around is yet to be seen, but with critics universally panning Resident Evil 6 (including ourselves) it probably won’t be difficult to up the ante a little. Check out the video below.

Capcom are set to follow up the PC release of Resident Evil 6 with Resident Evil: Revelations, originally announced for May 23.

The game, which started life on the 3DS, has been overhauled with crisp HD visuals and — well, you’d hardly believe it started life as a handheld title.

Check out the screens and PC specs below.
