The 'Evil Season' Campaign Details
GIGABYTE AORUS has officially teamed up with Capcom and custom PC modder Sarah Carlos to launch the “Evil Season Is Here” campaign. This initiative centers on a unique, Resident Evil-inspired custom PC build that serves as the grand prize for a giveaway running through November 16.
The system itself is a showcase of high-end hardware, specifically featuring the GIGABYTE X870E AORUS MASTER X3D ICE motherboard and the AORUS GeForce RTX 5080 INFINITY WOOD graphics card. Designed by Sarah Carlos, the build integrates these components into a one-of-a-kind aesthetic that aligns with the horror franchise’s visual identity.
For those attending TwitchCon 2026, the physical PC will be on display at the Capcom booth (number 3925). Attendees can view the build in person and enter the giveaway directly at the site. Additionally, on-site participants will receive free AORUS swag, regardless of whether they win the computer.
Why This Build Stands Out
This collaboration highlights the growing intersection between premium PC hardware marketing and gaming culture. By partnering with a well-known modder like Sarah Carlos, GIGABYTE moves beyond standard product launches to create tangible, collectible experiences that resonate with enthusiasts.
The inclusion of the RTX 5080 graphics card places this giveaway firmly in the current generation of high-performance computing. For Canadian readers, it’s worth noting that while the hardware specifications are global, the specific availability of the “INFINITY WOOD” variant and the logistics of international shipping for such a large item remain tied to the campaign’s official terms, which should be reviewed carefully before entering.
The dual-entry method—online and on-site—broadens access. You don’t need to be in San Francisco for TwitchCon to participate, though the event attendees get the added benefit of seeing the craftsmanship firsthand. This strategy effectively leverages a major industry event to drive digital engagement across a wider audience.
Entry Window and Next Steps
If you’re interested in winning this custom rig, the deadline is firm: November 16. The campaign does not currently specify regional restrictions in the summary provided, so potential entrants outside North America should verify eligibility requirements on the official GIGABYTE or Capcom promotional pages.
While the exact odds of winning aren’t disclosed, the combination of a high-value prize and a limited-time window suggests competitive interest. Keep an eye on the Capcom booth location if you plan to attend TwitchCon 2026, as on-site entries may offer immediate confirmation of participation status.
