A detailed overview trailer for Onimusha: Way of the Sword provided the best glimpse yet of its gameplay, though a specific 2026 release date remains unconfirmed. The action follows the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi in 17th-century Kyoto as he battles the Genma threat. Players will guide him through famous locations like Kiyomizu-dera Temple, utilizing his combat skills and a powerful Oni Gauntlet. His journey will involve encounters with familiar faces, including his historic rival, Sasaki Ganryu.
Fighting game enthusiasts received significant updates for Street Fighter 6. The powerhouse brawler Alex is officially joining the roster on March 17th, with notable contributions from wrestler Kenny Omega on motion capture and a new theme song from JAMProject. Additionally, Capcom unveiled the Alex Arrives! Fighting Pass and showcased Outfit 4 for fighters Elena and Dee Jay, which will be part of a new Swimsuit Series.
The sci-fi adventure Pragmata received a fresh gameplay trailer and surprisingly moved its launch date forward by a week. Players can now embark on the journey with protagonists Hugh and Diana starting on April 17. The spotlight also detailed the Deluxe Edition, which includes the Shelter Variety Pack with extra costumes and digital artwork. Pre-ordering the game grants exclusive Neo Bushido and Neo Kunoichi outfits for the main characters.
With its launch set for March 13, 2026, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection received a comprehensive launch trailer and story overview. The narrative centers on the conflicting nations of Azuria and Vemeril during a Crystal Encroachment crisis, featuring a unique scenario with twin Rathalos and a single rider. Capcom also outlined several bonus incentives. Players with save data from previous Monster Hunter titles can obtain special layered armor sets, and linking a Capcom ID grants the Catcom Works Outfit. Free launch-day DLC includes accessories and layered armor, while pre-orders or physical copies come with the Skyscale Queen layered armor.
The presentation offered a sneak peek at the upcoming Street Fighter: The Movie, sharing behind-the-scenes footage set to debut at Capcom Cup 12 ahead of its theatrical release on October 16, 2026.
Celebrating three decades of survival horror, Capcom outlined plans for the Resident Evil 30th Anniversary. Beyond the recent release of Resident Evil Requiem, festivities include a new collaboration with Universal Studios Japan, a Resident Evil 2 arcade game, anniversary concerts, and a Generation Pack bundling Resident Evil 7, 8, and the upcoming 9.
Details emerged for the online functionality of the Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection. Features will include the ability to edit decks using saved data, search across multiple titles for matches, and participate in Casual, Ranked, and Friend Matches. The updated Brother List now supports up to 100 friends, alongside Trading and other social options.
The winner of the Mega Man: Dual Override boss design contest was also revealed. From 10,000 submissions, the community voted for six finalists: Cleanser Man, Sweeper Woman, Recycle Man, Cactus Man, Juggle Man, and Valve Man. Only one design will ultimately appear in the game. Capcom also teased the seven main bosses with a collective silhouette, noting that many fan submissions eerily resembled the official designs.
Finally, the schedule for Capcom Cup 12 & Street Fighter League: World Championship 2025 was confirmed. The event runs from March 11 to March 15, beginning with 48 global competitors converging and culminating in a grand finals with a $1,000,000 prize pool to crown the 2025 champion, alongside team-based championships for the Street Fighter League.
