Capcom’s Exciting Lineup of Upcoming Titles
Capcom’s recent communication surge has fans buzzing with excitement as they unveil a series of highly anticipated projects. Among them are Resident Evil 9, a new installment in the beloved Okami series, and a reboot of the cult classic Onimusha, which has been absent from the gaming scene for far too long. On February 4, 2025, Capcom will host an event to delve into Monster Hunter Wilds, Onimusha, and a few other surprises, particularly within the fighting game genre. Let’s explore what’s in store.
Monster Hunter Wilds: New Beta and Stunning Gameplay
Monster Hunter Wilds is shaping up to be one of the most awaited games of the year, and recent showcases have revealed exhilarating new gameplay. With colossal monsters and breathtaking environments, the game aims to captivate players. Following its initial reveal, a second beta test is set for February 7 to 11, with an unexpected additional beta from February 14 to 17, offering double the hunting experience! This is the perfect chance to explore uncharted territories and uncover new aspects of its expansive open world. Remember, the official release is slated for February 28, 2025, on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
Onimusha: A Long-Awaited Reboot
Instead of opting for remakes of titles like Dino Crisis or Resident Evil Code Veronica, Capcom has chosen to resurrect Onimusha, a franchise that has been dormant for years and has left a void for many fans. This series, which uniquely blends survival horror and action gameplay, made a significant impact with its distinct ambiance and gripping mechanics. It bears resemblance to modern souls-like games, similar to Nioh. After a much-anticipated announcement, the reboot has finally been unveiled, showcasing its potential. Additionally, fans can look forward to a remastered version of Onimusha 2.
Capcom’s Fighting Game Extravaganza
Capcom also took this opportunity to provide fresh updates on its upcoming fighting game titles, including the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics. These collections are a treasure trove for enthusiasts of classic fighting games, featuring a vibrant array of characters and extensive content. Set to launch on May 16, 2025, for consoles and PC, Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection Arcade Classics is already available on PS4, Switch, and PC, with its arrival on Xbox One happening tonight!
In addition, Street Fighter 6 was featured at the event, showcasing its latest character: Mai, a swift fighter equipped with an array of unique abilities, including special ninjutsu attacks. Another character, Elena, will soon join the roster, bringing her capoeira skills, a beautiful blend of martial arts and dance. Street Fighter 6 is currently available on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC.
