New Resident Evil 7 Demo Announced With Terrifying Trailer

An update for the Resident Evil 7's Beginning Hour demo will be released on September 17, Capcom has announced. The "Twilight" demo, as Capcom is calling it, will allow players to explore "more of the mysterious, derelict mansion" featured in the original.

A trailer for the Twilight demo has also been released. It shows a little more of the Baker Mansion, where much of the game seems to be set. The Baker family also make an appearance, and they've got some rather gruesome dinner plans.

Capcom has also announced the deluxe version of Resident Evil 7 will now cost $89.99 instead of the previously advertised $79.99 price point. Prior to the price hike it contained the game and a season pass, which included access to two story expansions at no extra cost. However, the price has increased to reflect that a third story expansion will now also be part of the season pass.

The first DLC will be made up of four short side stories, while the second adds another episode to the main game. It is unclear what the new DLC will provide as of yet. Resident Evil 7 is set to release for PS4, Xbox One, and PC on January 24, 2017.

In a press release, Capcom also reaffirmed Resident Evil 7's PlayStation Pro compatibility: "The full game will be compatible with the PlayStation 4 Pro, allowing the immersive gameplay to be experienced in high-resolution, luxuriant 4K with rich visuals only HDR can deliver."

It added: "Similarly, with HDR support on the Xbox One S."

On September 14, Capcom confirmed Resident Evil 7 won't have microtransactions, as many AAA games do these days. GameSpot recently got the opportunity to play the upcoming survival-horror game and found that it continues to break tradition.
