They sure are clever, aren’t they? The longer they make you wait for a new game from the franchises you love the most, the more excited you’ll be about it. That’s what happened with the new Okami, which hadn’t shown up on a console for 15 years, and with Onimusha Way of the Sword, which hadn’t had a new game on a console since 2006. And after seeing the enthusiastic reaction, Capcom has announced that it will revive dormant franchises. A dinosaur crisis! As they have stated, “in addition to regularly releasing great titles every year, Capcom […]
They sure are clever, aren’t they? The longer they make you wait for a new game from the franchises you love the most, the more excited you’ll be. That’s what happened with the new Okami, which hadn’t shown up on a console for 15 years, and with Onimusha Way of the Sword, which hadn’t had a new game on a console since 2006. And after seeing the enthusiastic reaction, Capcom has announced that it will revive dormant franchises.
As they have stated, “in addition to regularly releasing major titles each year, Capcom is focusing on reviving dormant IPs that haven’t had a new title recently“. And if we take a look at their catalog, we have a good handful that we would like to see again with a new title, such as Ace Attorney, Final Fight, Ghost’n Goblins, Viewtiful Joe, and, of course, Dino Crisis.
There are many players waiting for a new title in the franchise, which was halted in 2003 with the release of Dino Crisis 3 for Xbox and, incomprehensibly, has not been revisited. The game was not well received, but enough years have passed to resurrect that franchise and finally give it the game it deserves. Dinosaur dreams are also worth living for, right?
Capcom is really spoiling Street Fighter 6. And with good reason. It has sold very well, critics love it, and it’s doing very well in the competitive field. It’s everything they wanted their previous two installments to be but couldn’t achieve. That’s why it’s no surprise that they will start 2025 with a major addition to the game. Moreover, it’s the most popular character from their former major rivals. SNK returns, in the form of DLC for Capcom, Mai Shiranui from the Fatal Fury franchise, will be the first guest character in Street Fighter 6 of 2025. After the arrival of […]
Capcom is pampering Street Fighter 6 a lot, and for good reason. It has sold very well, critics love it, and it is performing very well in the competitive field. It is everything they wanted their previous two installments to be but couldn’t achieve. That’s why it’s no surprise that they are going to start 2025 with a major addition to the game. Moreover, it is the most popular character from their former major rivals.
SNK returns, in the form of DLC for Capcom
Mai Shiranui, from the Fatal Fury franchise, will be the first guest character in Street Fighter 6 of 2025. Following the arrival of Terry Bogard in 2024, now comes his female counterpart, with a design reminiscent of the original Fatal Fury. She is introduced in a spectacular trailer worthy of her stature.
Mai, along with Elena from Street Fighter 3 next spring, will be the last characters of the second year of Street Fighter 6. Which is available on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC.
The latest from Capcom introduces a story mode that builds on the traditional arcade and online experiences expected from a modern fighting game. Additionally, it features a beginner control scheme that is the dream of any button masher.
Monster Hunter is Capcom’s golden goose. Even when we in the West knew nothing about the franchise, it was already a massive success in Japan, capable of bringing the country to a standstill. And since Monster Hunter World, as demonstrated by Monster Hunter Rise, that is no different outside its country of origin either. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise us that Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the most anticipated games of 2025. Or that Capcom has decided to give it special attention. The Japanese company has announced that Monster Hunter Wilds will have an open beta before […]
Monster Hunter is Capcom’s golden goose. Even when in the West we knew nothing about the franchise, in Japan it was already a resounding success capable of paralyzing the country. And since Monster Hunter World, as demonstrated by Monster Hunter Rise, that is no different outside its country of origin either. That’s why it shouldn’t surprise us that Monster Hunter Wilds is one of the most anticipated games of 2025. Or that Capcom has decided to give it special attention.
From the Japanese company, they have announced that Monster Hunter Wilds will have an open beta before the end of October. PlayStation 5 users with a PlayStation Plus membership will be able to play it early, from October 28 to 30. Those playing on Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, PC, and PlayStation 5 players without PlayStation Plus will be able to play from October 31 to November 3.
Amidst all this, Capcom has announced several important details. The first is that it will not be necessary to have any kind of subscription, neither to PlayStation Plus nor to Game Pass, to be able to play the game. The second is that the game has crossplay, meaning that players from different versions of the game can play together. The third is that everyone who plays will receive a decorative item as a gift for the final version of the game, and they will also be able to keep all their progress made in the beta.
This open beta will include three complete experiences: character creation, basic tutorials, and hunting a Doshaguma. Something that can be experienced solo, with the help of NPCs, or with the assistance of other players.
All of this has been accompanied by the fifth trailer of the game, The Fifth Flame, along with a very interesting piece of news: there will be a limited edition DualSense controller and custom covers for PlayStation 5 of Monster Hunter Wilds. However, for now, they have only been announced for Japan. We hope they will also be available in the West when the game is released globally on February 28, 2025.
Monster Hunter Wilds introduces players to a richly detailed world where the ever-changing climate and dynamic environments create a challenging and immersive hunting experience. This premium action game's setting is a living ecosystem where both wildlife and humans have adapted to the harsh conditions, offering a unique blend of survival and adventure.
Capcom has spoiled us so much that a year without Resident Evil feels strange. Almost like a wasted year. It’s not quite that bad, because it’s not as if they haven’t released excellent games this year, like the fabulous remaster of Dead Rising, but it is true that it’s a series with a pull that very few others can imitate. That’s why it’s a joy to know that the year won’t end without us getting another Resident Evil. Even if it’s an older one. Resident Evil 2 Remake will soon be coming to iOS devices. If you’re not familiar with the game, it’s a […]
Capcom has us so spoiled that a year without Resident Evil feels strange. Almost like a wasted year. Not quite to that extent, because it’s not as if they haven’t released excellent games this year, like the fabulous remaster of Dead Rising, but it is true that it’s a saga with a pull that very few others can imitate. That’s why it’s a joy to know that the year won’t end without us having another Resident Evil. Even if it’s an older one.
Resident Evil 2 Remake will soon arrive on iOS devices. If you are not familiar with the game, it is a relatively short experience, lasting about 3 or 4 hours, where we have to investigate what has happened in the mysterious city of Raccoon City to cause a zombie invasion. All while trying to escape the place.
We say relatively brief because part of its charm is its replayability. With two selectable characters, rookie cop Leon S. Kenneby and the young motorcyclist who perhaps wasn’t just passing by? Claire Reidfield, each of them will tell half of the story. Their stories will intersect at various moments, providing details, but to fully understand the events of the game, we will need to complete it twice, once with each character.
This Resident Evil 2 Remake arrives after Resident Evil 8 came to iOS leaving a somewhat bittersweet impression. It’s not that it was a bad game or a poor adaptation, but it felt like they could have done more. And above all, they could have chosen a more suitable game to play on the phone than a game where long gaming sessions are the norm. Perhaps this Resident Evil 2 Remake fits better with the average player’s experience.
Resident Evil 2 Remake is now available for pre-order on the App Store, it will be free and will have in-game purchases. Although it does not have a specific release date, it is expected to be released sometime in the second half of December, so you should stay tuned: this trip to Raccoon City seems to be especially festive.
Originally released in 1998, Resident Evil 2 marked a turning point in the horror and action genre in video games. Now, it returns to the market in a remastered version for the new generation consoles. Undoubtedly, a unique opportunity to enjoy every moment with this iconic game once again.
Although some of you may not believe it, there was a time, long ago, when the world of video games was not governed by “games as a service” and endless, never-ending seasons, but rather by titles with a story that began and ended, with characters that had a script and evolved along the way. This was the case with Dead Rising, a zombie franchise that had been forgotten by Capcom for eight years until they decided to come back with a remaster of the first part. The result? Fabulous. So much so that now they want to speed up the production of more titles by any means. Yes: Frank West […]
Although some may not believe it, there was a time long ago when the world of video games was not governed by “games as a service” and endless seasons, but rather by titles with a story that began and ended, with characters that had a script and evolved along the way. This was the case with Dead Rising, a zombie franchise that had been forgotten by Capcom for eight years, until they decided to return with the remaster of the first part. The result? Fabulous. So much so that they now want to accelerate the production of more titles by any means. Yes: Frank West has made a grand comeback.
The developers at Capcom are already hinting that there will be a future remaster of Dead Rising 2 that will look like Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster (DRDR for friends). It is worth remembering that back in the day, the game was somewhat controversial because it replaced Frank with another character, Chuck Greene, and Capcom ended up creating an alternative version (Off The Record), with everyone’s favorite journalist as the protagonist. Now, Jas Patrick, who has voiced Frank West in the new remaster, has asked fans on social media if they want a new version of Off the Record.
For now, the developers are waiting to see how DRDR performs, but initially, they believe that it is “definitely possible” for the sequel to have a new opportunity. Capcom will consider it if “they identify an appropriate time when we can sell it.” Not only that: the developer intends to revive the saga again, first testing if the audience is still there and then, very likely, launching new installments.
For now, everything is speculative, but if you were eager for the undead to invade your console again so you can kill them in waves in the most fun and creative ways possible, you’re in luck. Let the slaughter return.
We all know how the video game industry works: suddenly, someone finds a water spring and everyone starts digging in the same place without realizing that the water is not infinite. In this case, as if the complex metaphor was not clear enough, the spring is online games understood as a service, with their different seasons, in the style of Fortnite. The latest trend, like all trends, has already gone to hell.
Such is the case of Exoprimal, a third-person shooter by Capcom in which players had to fight against hordes of dinosaurs to defeat an AI. On July 14, 2023, the game was released on all imaginable consoles (except Nintendo Switch). Two and a half months later, it hadn’t sold a million copies… and just one year later, it was announced that the game was shutting down completely.
There have been four seasons, but the production company has already announced that the last one has been, literally, the end. There will be no more support for Exoprimal. In fact, on July 11th, Season 1 will return and from then on they will be repeated in a continuous cycle every month until there is no one left, and Capcom, now yes, presses the server shutdown button.
Basically, by doing this he has condemned himself to his own death, to a continuous state of non-life, to an eternal lethargy in pixels from which he will slowly drain the remaining fans. It is the sense of the current times, where, except for exceptions like No Man’s Sky or Cyberpunk 2077, there are no second chances. And, sadly, very soon we will be talking about more games biting the dust, in this sad, very sad descent into constant mediocrity.
Capcom nos ha mostrado más de Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, prometiéndonos una versión muy fiel a la original, con mejoras de calidad de vida.
Capcom, a few years ago, remembered that it had a long history in the video game industry. And they realized, in addition, that they could exploit it. This has led to reissues of classics, reboots, remasterings, and remakes of all kinds. Although they’re not working on everything we would like, it’s true that from time to time they surprise us with something different –and not always with a new Resident Evil. Even when they bring back the zombies.
Recently, Capcom surprised us with the announcement of the return of Dead Rising. Not with a new installment of the game, but with a remaster of the original game. With clearly updated graphics, they didn’t clarify anything else, which left us with more questions than answers. Until now, that is, because at last night’s Capcom Next event, they answered all our questions.
Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will be, in terms of gameplay, exactly the same game. That’s why it’s a remaster and not a remake. But what they have done is to add a series of improvements that’ll make it much more digestible for both fans of the saga and new players. This means things like the ability to shoot while moving, an autosave system, improved controls, much-needed improvements to NPC AI, and a completely revamped UI. Quality-of-life improvements that should give it a fresh touch while respecting what made the original game so compelling.
Something that they’ve confirmed, but was already evident from the teaser in which it was announced, is that they’ve changed the game engine. Making use of Capcom’s internal engine, the RE Engine, they’ve taken the opportunity to change some character models, including the protagonist, Frank West. This implies a noticeable upgrade in graphics, although according to the trailer, the physics and animations remain the same, or very similar, to those of the original game.
The most surprising thing of all is that, in addition to everything mentioned above, they’ve given us a release date. Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster will be released digitally on September 19th for PlayStation, Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S, and PC. If you want to get the game in its physical version, you’ll still have to wait until an unspecified date in November. Although, we don’t think we can wait that long.
Capcom ha hecho su pequeño showcase de verano para el noE3 y ha confirmado que están trabajando en Resident Evil 9, aunque sin detalles
Among the big absentees from the non-E3 has been Capcom. While they’ve made appearances here and there at conferences with the big companies, they haven’t held their own event. Until now. They have decided to save their big announcements, or at least catch us up, for the Capcom Next Summer event in early July, when things are more relaxed. And while there hasn’t been any announcement that breaks the Internet, they’ve announced some very interesting things.
Although initially they didn’t bring up the topic of Resident Evil, at Capcom they finally decided to talk about their most famous franchise. Because although it’s true that they still don’t have anything official to present, that doesn’t mean they can’t start announcing things.
During the presentation, Koshi Nakanishi —director of Resident Evil: The Mercenaries 3D, Resident Evil: Revelations, and Resident Evil 7— appeared to confirm that they are already working on Resident Evil 9. In the process, he also confirmed that he is the director of the game and that, although he can’t tell us any details about the game yet, he found it very difficult to decide what to do after Resident Evil 7. But now he’s got it and it feels solid.
That’s why everything we know about Resident Evil 9 comes from unofficial sources. According to insider Dusk Golem, known for revealing information about horror game projects, Resident Evil 9 is planned to be released in early 2025. Stating that it might be delayed, the game would be seven years in the making and would have started development around the same time as Resident Evil 8. Additionally, according to reports, the game would expand the open-world possibilities of the RE Engine that we already saw in Dragon’s Dogma 2. It’ll also make use of Monster Hunter Wild.
Leaks aside, we’ll still have to wait to receive official confirmations about the development duration, its release window, and whether it’s an open world or not. It doesn’t seem like Capcom is interested in waiting much longer if they’ve already announced its existence, but if they haven’t unveiled the game yet, we expect that it’ll still be a few weeks or months before they do so. Either way, the countdown for the new Resident Evil has begun.
Street Fighter 6 anuncia cuáles serán sus próximos personajes que aparecerán en su pase de batalla de personajes, con muchas grandes sorpresas
Capcom doesn’t know rest. Street Fighter 6 has been a success, and they’re making sure it stays that way by including new characters, without hurry but also without pause. With a seasonal system, where each season introduces a series of characters, they’ve just finished their first season in style with the inclusion of a classic among classics, the fearsome Akuma. But this doesn’t mean that everything is finished for Street Fighter 6.
In preparation for the game’s second season, Capcom revealed during the past Summer Game Fest which characters will be arriving for year two of Street Fighter 6’s Character Pass. All of them are very surprising inclusions that caught fans off guard.
The most surprising change was the inclusion of Terry and Mai, from the Fatal Fury franchise. In the 90s, Fatal Fury from SNK was the big franchise that competed with Street Fighter, and there was a very public rivalry between the developers of both studios. That’s why the appearance of the two most iconic characters from this franchise as guest characters in Street Fighter 6 is, to say the least, surprising. But we’re grateful for the enormous personality and tremendous fandom they bring with them.
From the characters returning from Capcom’s franchise, we saw just as many surprises. Elena returns, whose last appearance was in Ultra Street Fighter IV, and even more surprisingly, M. Bison returns. Deceased in Street Fighter V, M. Bison returns amnesic, with a new, darker aesthetic and a faster fighting style. His appearance here is a nightmare to all Street Fighter players who remember what it means for M. Bison to come back from the dead and show off an agile movement.
If you’re interested in these characters, we already have dates for all of them. M. Bison will arrive this summer, Terry in the fall, Mai in winter 2025, and Elena in spring 2025. This means we already know who will be the main actors in the next season of Street Fighter 6. And we couldn’t be more delighted with this peculiar selection.

Capcom has decided to remove three games from digital storefronts, making them impossible to purchase starting from May 9th.
With all the advantages they have, digital platforms have an evident problem. Games don’t last forever. Companies have various reasons to stop selling their video games, making it impossible to acquire them legally. Something that doesn’t happen with physical format and second-hand sales. Something we will have to experience again in less than ten days.
Dark Void is a bold and bright third-person shoot 'em up set in an alien dimension in the 1930s.
This time it’s Capcom’s turn, which is removing three games from its digital stores. The three games in question are the action adventure Dark Void by Airtight Games, the retro platformer Dark Void Zero by Other Ocean Interactive, and the sandbox puzzle game Flock! by Proper Games’.
The first two, as their names indicate, are part of a franchise. Dark Void was released in 2010 for PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, allowing us to embody William Augustus Grey, who must face an alien threat using a jetpack. With an original vertical cover system, it did not achieve success among critics or the public. Something that did not happen with Dark Void Zero, which came out on DSiWare, iOS, and PC that same year, and is considered a solid retro action platformer, in the style of Contra or Bionic Commando Rearmed.
Flock!, on the other hand, is a game that was released for PC, Xbox 360, and PlayStation 3 that went by without much noise and with divided opinions. In the game, we controlled a UFO and had to guide different farm animals through 55 different levels, trying to avoid the multiple environmental threats that could end our flock. With a cooperative system and three stations, the game did not stand out for its excellence, but it was a solid puzzle game.
Although it is true that they are not among Capcom’s most famous and beloved games, once they are retired it will not be possible to acquire them in any legal way. Unless Capcom decides to put them up for sale, since only Dark Void had a physical edition. The three games will leave the digital stores on May 9th at 3:30 in the morning.
