What to expect from the Capcom Showcase 22

As Capcom stated, it will go more in-depth on previously announced games. During last week’s State of Play, Sony revealed the Resident Evil 4 remake and Resident Evil Village VR, as well as debuted Street Fighter 6‘s trailer. So we may see more information on them there.

Additionally, the multiplayer game Resident Evil Re:Verse might make an appearance too. After being delayed several times, it was rated in South Korea for Google Stadia last month.

Two other games that Capcom is working on are Exoprimal and Pragmata, which both have 2023 release windows. The former was revealed earlier this year and the latter was delayed multiple times. It’s possible we could get more on them as well.

Lastly, we might see Capcom go for one last push of the Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak expansion before it launches on June 30.

What not to expect from the Capcom Showcase 22

As this presentation is focusing on previously announced games, don’t expect any new game announcements. However, the one wrinkle here is Summer Games Fest that’s airing on June 9. Capcom recently launched a 10th-anniversary website for Dragon’s Dogma, fueling speculation about a potential sequel announcement. If one does indeed get revealed at Summer Games Fest, that’s fair game for Capcom’s presentation. However, it’s likely Capcom won’t have much to share beyond an initial announcement.

Nintendo Switch OLED and Joy-Con.

In the wake of Gamescom and ahead of a busy autumn for the video game industry, Nintendo did something unique for its latest showcase. It was a combination of the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase and Indie World formats.

Then, the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase highlighted some upcoming titles from bigger third-party developers.

It was a particularly great Partner Showcase for fans of remasters and ports, as it featured announcements like Tetris Forever, Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster: Gate Rune and Dunan Unification Wars, Castlevania Dominus Collection, and more. You should stay in the loop on what was announced if you're a big Nintendo Switch fan. To help, we've rounded up every announcement made during these Nintendo showcases.

I played Monster Hunter Wilds, and it’s already a thrill

A hunter runs through a lightning storm in Monster Hunter Wilds.

I've always seen Monster Hunter as a cinematic game, though perhaps not in the way that many gamers picture when they hear the word. I'm not talking about big-budget cutscenes. Rather, spectacle is baked into its world. There's no greater thrill than watching on as the titanic beast I'm tracking suddenly gets attacked by another creature. It's like watching a kaiju battle unfold organically.

With Monster Hunter Wilds, though, Capcom is upping the ante. In a 90-minute demo, I played through the upcoming action RPG's first two missions. They were standard hunts against towering beasts, but something was different this time. A larger emphasis on thrilling cutscenes and cinematic set pieces took center stage between my normal hacking and slashing. That makes for a sequel that takes Monster Hunter to the next level, unlocking its blockbuster potential.
More cinematic
When my demo begins, I'm sailing on an ocean of sand with a crew of ragtag characters. After getting briefed on a monster in the area, the dreaded White Wraithe, I'm treated to an action-packed sequence. I see sandworms chasing a character in the distance, as if I'm watching a scene out of Dune. My hero leaps from the side of the ship and lands on a Seikret and gives chase. As I gain control of my character, I'm suddenly in a chase sequence. Worms leap around me, and I have to knock them off my trail with my slingshot. It's positively dazzling.
