Oh boy, where do I even start with this? Capcom just dropped a bomb at Summer Game Fest, like, right in your lap. Three big deals here, all at once. Okay, okay, lemme try to break it down without getting all tangled up in my own thoughts — as if that’s even possible!
First up — Resident Evil Requiem. Seriously, it’s like they know we can’t get enough! This time, you’re following Grace Ashcroft. Who? No idea, but she’s diving into some nightmare-ish stuff. Picture the usual Resident Evil horrors but sprinkle in some wild cinematic action. They’re going bold, like birthday-suit bold! Celebrating 30 years of what? Zombies, probably. Mark your calendars for February 27, 2026, but, you know, maybe write it in pencil.
Now — Street Fighter 6 is roaring into Year 3. Like, it’s coming with an uppercut or something! If you’ve been living under a rock, or just don’t care, they’re bringing back some familiar faces. Sagat goes first, doing what Sagat does. Followed by Ms. James Bond wannabe, C. Viper… sometime in the fall. Oh, and Alex too, with muscles, I guess. Last but not least, Ingrid — apparently mysterious, but aren’t we all sometimes?
Oh, and Capcom Cup 12 in Japan next year? A million bucks, can you believe it?! I’d probably faint at the gate. Anyway—oh did I mention the Street Fighter Years 1-2 Fighters Edition is out? It’s packed, so if you don’t know them by now, good luck!
Right, switching gears to samurais — Onimusha: Way of the Sword. In Edo Japan, which sounds fancy. Hero? Miyamoto Musashi. The bad guys are like… scary samurai ghost things? Malice whatever. Trailer’s full of dark fantasy vibes — we’re talking creepy but also strangely cool. Sasaki Ganryu’s the rival here, seems like a sneaky fellow. There’s a woman in the trailer too, kind of glowy. Significance? Beats me.
If you’re an Onimusha fan (I’ve got a soft spot, don’t ask), they dropped a remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny. New mode called Hell… it sounds appropriately terrifying. If you mess up, you’re done. No second chances. There’s also an Onimusha 1+2 pack if you fancy that old school vibe. Because why not?
Whew, that’s the gist of Capcom’s big blast! Horror, fighting, samurai action — yadda yadda yadda — there’s something for everyone. And hey, stick around for more updates because, guess what? More chaos is coming! Capcom’s got us in their grip for 2025 and 2026. Thanks for hanging tight through this chaotic ride!
