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.

Avowed is a bigger and bolder RPG than I expected
A Xaurips from Avowed.

While it's not as big as an RPG like The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Avowed is still a massive evolution for the Pillars of Eternity franchise. That series gave us slow-paced, isometric CRPGs, while Avowed is a more action-packed first-person RPG set in the same universe. Having gone hands-on with its Gamescom build at an Xbox event in Los Angeles, I was relieved to see that Avowed still retains the core DNA of developer Obsidian Entertainment.

The Avowed quest I played sported beautiful visuals, had excellent writing, and felt faithful to the wider Pillars of Eternity franchise. Clearly, a lot of effort went into reinterpreting what a Pillars of Eternity game could be like when played from a different perspective and set in a never-before-explored area of Eora called The Living Lands. In an interview, art director Matthew Hansen explained how the team approached that opportunity.

Amazon’s latest game is definitely not what you’re expecting
Characters run down stairs in King of Meat.

After a whirlwind few years, I thought I’d finally gotten a handle on Amazon Games’ style. The publisher has started finding success with games like New World and Lost Ark, both of which cater to the kinds of hardcore PC players who love dense RPGs. I figured that would be the company’s focus going forward as it settled into a big genre niche and made a play for a more international audience.

And then I played King of Meat.
