Capcom’s ‘Resident Evil’ Ambassador Program Revealing “Exciting” Announcement June 10
UPDATE: Per the folks at Biohazard Declassified, while this announcement might be RE8 related, it seems more likely that the announcement is related to Gold members being upgraded to ‘Platinum’ status on the Ambassador program, which will make them a ‘full Resident Evil Ambassador’. However, given the leaks surrounding RE8 releasing in 2021, and the fact that we could see something later this summer related to it (according to Biohazard Declassified’s sources, the trailer is “ready to go”), this shouldn’t be ruled out.
It looks as if we might not have to wait long for the long-rumoured Resident Evil 8 or the Resident Evil 4 remake. Via PlayStation Universe, Capcom’s Resident Evil Ambassador Program is gearing up for a big announcement next month, according to a new email sent out to Gold members.
One recipient, Twitter user Kula_9S85, posted an image of the email, which roughly translated, reads: “The sentence being judged appears on the Ambassador page. The result announcement is exciting.” Note that the reveal is scheduled for June 10, which depending on the time of day would be June 9 or June 10 for Western countries.
Making things interesting is that June 10 falls in the second week of June, which happens to be when Xbox is reportedly set to hold their big Summer Games Fest event. Of course, the other big question is just what Capcom is planning to reveal….

Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
