BODY: Capcom fans, mark your calendars: the publisher has announced a new Capcom Spotlight digital showcase, set to stream on June 26, 2026, at 6:00 a.m. JST. The roughly 30-minute broadcast promises fresh details on some of the company's most anticipated upcoming titles.

Headlining the show is Monster Hunter Stories 3: ~Twin Dragons of Destiny~, the latest entry in Capcom's RPG spin-off series that trades the action-heavy hunts of the mainline games for turn-based battles and monster-bonding "Rider" adventures. With the Stories line steadily growing its fanbase abroad, any new footage will be closely watched.

Also on the docket is Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the long-awaited revival of Capcom's beloved samurai-action franchise. The series has been dormant for years, making every new look a notable event for longtime fans hungry for sword-slashing demon-slaying action set in a stylized feudal Japan.

Rounding out the lineup is Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, suggesting an expanded edition or major content drop for the 2024 open-world hit. Capcom has a history of giving its games a robust "second life" through such releases, so expectations are high.

The insider take

From a Tokyo vantage point, the timing is telling. A 6:00 a.m. JST start is squarely aimed at Western prime-time viewing โ€” a clear signal that Capcom continues to treat its overseas audience as the engine of these franchises' growth. The pairing of Onimusha's nostalgia-driven revival with the proven Monster Hunter and Dragon's Dogma brands reflects Capcom's confident, catalog-deep strategy heading into the back half of 2026. Expect this Spotlight to set the tone for the publisher's summer momentum.
