CAPCOM has announced a new CAPCOM Spotlight broadcast for Thursday, June 25, 2026 at 2 PM Pacific Time. This 30-minute livestream is going to be focused on announced games, so don't expect any big surprises. Specifically, three games have been selected as the main focus of this CAPCOM Spotlight: Dragon's Dogma II: Dark Arisen, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
The first one is the expansion to 2023's action RPG. Due on October 9, Dark Arisen will deliver a brand new region, new mechanics, and a Nintendo Switch 2 port. The second is the already released turn-based RPG spin-off of the Monster Hunter franchise; the game earned an 8.6/10 score in Wccftech's review by Kai Tatsumoto:
With a much more serious and ominous narrative this time around, Monster Hunter Stories 3 manages to balance the joy of hugging your Poogie with the challenge of besting an Elder Dragon in manual combat.
CAPCOM will likely announce a free update or a DLC for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.
As for Onimusha, this is likely the final marketing push. The game is officially set to launch on September 25, but it would face significant competition from Control Resonant and Silent Hill Townfall, both launching on September 24. Indeed, a retailer suggested that CAPCOM might be considering moving the date up to September 4.
At Summer Game Fest 2026, we had the opportunity to chat about all things Onimusha: Way of the Sword with Game Director Satoru Nihei, who discussed the renewed focus on using a singular katana, the game's "wide linear" structure, and how the developers studied actor Toshiro Mifune's movies and tried to use his expressions and acting style to portray game protagonist Miyamoto Musashi, a historical figure of legendary importance who fought in the Battle of Sekigahara.
