A New ‘Resident Evil 8: Village’ Trailer is Reportedly Coming Next Month
July is coming to a close, but the parade of big horror game news this Summer doesn’t look like it’s stopping anytime soon, as it looks a lot like we’ll get to see more of Resident Evil 8: Village in action next month.
Capcom had already mentioned that there would be more information on its next mainline Resident Evil title in August, but the reliable Resi insider Aesthetic Gamer (also known as Dusk Golem) has tweeted that a new Resident Evil 8 trailer will be among the things shown about the game next month. That information was obtained via an article from Biohazard Declassified regarding a leaked playtest.
Resident Evil 8 was first revealed at Sony’s PS5 games showcase a few weeks ago after months of speculation, including reports by Dusk Golem that turned out to be accurate. It sees Resident Evil 7 protagonist Ethan Winters having to deal with Werewolves, and potentially butting heads with franchise favorite Chris Redfield. The game is set to be Capcom’s first for next-generation consoles, and will run on an improved version of the already impressive RE Engine that has been behind Devil May Cry 5 and the Resident Evil 2 and 3 Remakes.
Dusk Golem has also previously stated we’d see that long-rumored Silent Hill exclusive for PS5 revealed this year. Given it has also been reported that Sony has another PS5-based showcase coming up in August, it wouldn’t be too surprising to see both these games make an appearance there.
There’s still no proper release date for Resident Evil 8, but it is seemingly coming to PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC in 2021.

One of Clive Barker’s Final Convention Appearances Will Be at New Jersey’s Monster Mania in August
We told you earlier this month that horror legend Clive Barker is leaving the convention scene behind to focus entirely on his writing, with various upcoming projects in the works.
A series of final appearances from Barker will begin at Days of the Dead Chicago this month, and we’ve learned Barker will also be coming to Monster Mania in New Jersey.
Clive Barker will be signing at Monster Mania 59 in Cherry Hill, New Jersey, which runs from August 2 – August 4, 2024. Stay tuned for more info from the convention.
Barker’s official statement earlier this month explained, “… it’s time to focus entirely on writing. I’m not stopping public events because I’ve lost delight in meeting you all over the years. I’m as passionate as ever about sharing my imagination with readers and moviegoers around the world. In the very room where I’m writing these words, I have the manuscripts for a very large number of projects (Thirty-one of them), some very close to completion, others still telling themselves. There are some wild projects in this collection of works, whether close to finished or done. There are also stories that you all knew I would be finishing.”
“Abarat IV and V are amongst the books at my feet,” he continued. “So is the Third and final book of The Art and the sequel to The Thief of Always. There are also return visits to characters and mythologies you may have thought I would never return to.
“I hope I am still able to surprise you in the decades ahead.”
