Yesterday, a special Capcom Spotlight presentation aired that showed off a few of the studio's upcoming titles and updates coming to some existing games. The big highlights were for Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, two upcoming titles from Capcom.
Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth mainline entry in the Resident Evil series. We know that it's set to release on February 27, 2025 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam. During this latest presentation, the development team shared some more details on the game's protagonist, Grace Ashcroft.
[Grace Ashcroft is] an FBI intelligence analyst who is introverted and easily scared, introducing a new type of character for the Resident Evil series. Grace will experience horror from the same perspective as the player as she learns to overcome her fears throughout the course of the story. Though timid, she’s also trained with firearms and uses deductive reasoning to stay calm under pressure.
The team has also gone to great lengths to deliver an unprecedented level of realism, down to minute character details like the redness of Grace’s face as she’s hanging upside down, and the natural movement of her hair, modeled in part using a custom-made wig as reference.

For Pragmata, Capcom shared new gameplay footage. We were treated to a look at both puzzle gameplay and combat for this sci-fi action title. Capcom says that Pragmata is still on track for a 2026 release on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Steam.
Today’s footage delves deeper into this out-of-this-world adventure. The journey follows Hugh Williams, who is dispatched to the moon as part of a team to investigate what happened. When a lunar quake suddenly strikes the facility, Hugh is separated from his team, injured, and knocked unconscious. In this moment, he’s rescued by an enigmatic Pragmata, a unique android created using Lunafilament, who has the appearance of a young girl. As the unlikely duo joins forces to fend off the station’s rampaging bots, Hugh nicknames his newfound companion “Diana,” and they embark on a mission to escape the lunar station and return to Earth.
In PRAGMATA, Hacking and shooting are at the core of gameplay. During combat, a panel will appear on screen while aiming at enemies. This represents Diana’s ability to hack into foes’ defenses. By maneuvering the cursor through this panel, she can take down their armor and provide openings for Hugh to blast enemy weak points with his arsenal of weapons. This system will challenge players to think on the fly to overcome multisided situations in the heat of battle.
Exploration is also a team effort. Diana can utilize her Hacking abilities outside of combat to access the facility’s systems and remove environmental barriers that block progress. Meanwhile, Hugh can make use of his suit’s thrusters to traverse the lunar station’s terrain. By combining their skills and abilities, they can achieve feats that would be impossible alone.

There will be some swimwear outfits coming in the Outfit 4 update on August 5th. The first characters to get some special beachwear include Cammy, Luke, Chun-Li, Manon, Jamie, Kimberly, and Aki. More characters will get some swimwear later.
Capcom Cup 12 will run from March 11-15, 2026. This event takes place in the Ryogoku Kokugikan Arena in Tokyo, Japan. The grand prize is once again $1 million.
Title Update 2 for Monster Hunter Wilds will release on June 30th. Lagiacrus (seen above) from Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate will be added to Monster Hunter Wilds. This fight will include some underwater fight sequences. Another monster, Seregios, is a fast-moving wyvern that will make its return from Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate.
After completing their initial main missions, both Lagiacrus and Seregios will also appear as 8★ Tempered monsters when Title Update 2 launches on June 30 for hunters HR41 and above. Starting July 30, Arch-tempered Uth Duna will also arrive as a limited-time Event Quest and a Free Challenge Quest and will reward the new armor sets Uth Duna γ and Felyne Uth Duna γ to hunters able to weather the storm.
Fashion hunters looking to meld form and function, look no further! Starting in Title Update 2, crafting the final weapon in a tree, Rarity 8 Artian weapons, and High-Rank Palico weapons will unlock that design as Layered Weapon. Once hunters have perfected their fit they can enhance and show off their designs with new photo mode options such as brightness settings and filter effects, alongside the ability to hide their Handler, Palico, Seikret, and more in the Character Display tab. Hunters can also look forward to new support options while out in the field, with the inquisitive biologist Erik able to fill in for Alma as the Avis unit’s handler and the Sword & Shield wielding Support Hunter Mina joining from Vespae Unit. Title Update 2 also adds the option for hunters to choose which Support Hunters they summon to form an ideal party composition.

Title Update 2 also adds new paid and free DLC. Title Update 3 is planned for late September, though there are no details to share on that just yet.
Capcom shared no information about addressing the dreadful performance of Monster Hunter Wilds on PC. The game's poor performance and general technical issues, such as the game failing to even launch for some owners, has dragged the recent user reviews down to "Overwhelmingly Negative" on Steam.
Finally, Capcom says that Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is now available on the Nintendo Switch 2.
