Only one of these six will actually appear in the final game
Em um único evento de fevereiro, a Capcom reafirmou sua posição como guardiã de universos que atravessam gerações — de samurais do século XVII a caçadores de monstros, de lutadores de rua a sobreviventes de horror. O showcase não foi apenas uma lista de datas e personagens, mas um lembrete de que franquias são contratos vivos entre criadores e comunidades, renovados a cada anúncio, a cada data antecipada, a cada personagem escolhido por votação popular.
- Pragmata, o aguardado sci-fi de Hugh e Diana, ganha urgência ao ter seu lançamento antecipado em uma semana — agora marcado para 17 de abril de 2026, como se a própria Capcom não conseguisse mais esperar.
- Street Fighter 6 provoca o mundo do entretenimento ao convocar Kenny Omega, astro do wrestling profissional, para dar vida em motion capture ao lutador Alex, que entra no roster em 17 de março.
- Monster Hunter Stories 3 chega em 13 de março com uma narrativa de conflito entre regiões e uma invasão cristalina, recompensando veteranos da franquia com armaduras exclusivas desbloqueadas pelo histórico de saves.
- Resident Evil celebra 30 anos com uma ofensiva cultural em múltiplas frentes: colaboração com a Universal Studios Japan, game de arcade, série de concertos e uma coletânea reunindo os três últimos capítulos numerados da saga.
- A comunidade Mega Man elegeu seis designs finalistas — Cleanser Man, Sweeper Woman, Recycle Man, Cactus Man, Juggle Man e Valve Man — mas apenas um entrará no jogo final, mantendo a tensão do resultado em aberto.
O Capcom Spotlight de fevereiro de 2026 foi realizado no início de março e trouxe atualizações substanciais para praticamente todas as grandes franquias da empresa. A primeira surpresa foi a antecipação de Pragmata: o jogo de aventura científica com Hugh e Diana, antes previsto para 24 de abril, agora chega em 17 de abril de 2026, acompanhado de novas imagens de gameplay.
Street Fighter 6 expande seu elenco com Alex, disponível a partir de 17 de março. O diferencial da adição é o envolvimento de Kenny Omega, lutador profissional da AEW, no processo de motion capture do personagem. O jogo também recebe uma nova faixa musical da banda JAMProject e novos figurinos para Elena e Dee Jay.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection chega em 13 de março com uma história centrada no conflito entre as regiões de Azuria e Vemeril, ameaçadas pela Invasão Cristalina. Pela primeira vez na série, dois Rathalos enfrentam um único rider. O jogo oferece armaduras em camadas desbloqueáveis conforme os títulos anteriores da franquia presentes no histórico do jogador, além de DLC gratuito no lançamento e recompensas para quem vincular conta à Capcom ID.
O Resident Evil Day ganhou contornos de celebração cultural ampla: além do recém-lançado Resident Evil Requiem, a Capcom anunciou parceria com a Universal Studios Japan, um arcade baseado em RE2, a série de concertos Symphony of Legacy e o Resident Evil Generation Pack, reunindo os episódios 7, 8 e 9.
O Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection revelou funcionalidades online robustas, incluindo construção de decks a partir de saves, partidas ranqueadas e a expansão do recurso Brother List de 6 para 100 entradas. Já em Mega Man: Dual Override, das 10.000 inscrições recebidas em um concurso de design, seis vencedores foram escolhidos pela comunidade — mas apenas um deles aparecerá no jogo final.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword ganhou um trailer estendido mostrando Miyamoto Musashi navegando pelo Kyoto do século XVII, visitando locais históricos reais como o templo Kiyomizu-dera e enfrentando criaturas sobrenaturais chamadas Genma com o auxílio da luva especial Oni Mantle. O reencontro com o rival Sasaki Ganryu também foi confirmado.
Capcom held another showcase event in early March, and the company came with a full slate of announcements across its major franchises. The news started with Pragmata, the sci-fi adventure that players have been waiting for. The company revealed fresh gameplay footage and, more importantly, moved the release date forward by a full week—from April 24 to April 17, 2026. That means the story of Hugh and Diana's journey will arrive sooner than originally planned.
Street Fighter 6 is getting a new fighter in its roster. Alex will join the game on March 17, and the character's motion capture work was handled in part by Kenny Omega, the professional wrestler known for his work in AEW. The game is also receiving a new background track called "Go! Alex! Hope is Born!" from the band JAMProject. Alongside the character addition, Capcom revealed a fourth costume option for both Elena and Dee Jay, with the latter's outfit part of a broader swimsuit costume series.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is arriving March 13, 2026, and Capcom shared more details about what players will find in the game. The story unfolds during a time when two regions, Azuria and Vemeril, are in conflict, with a threat called the Crystal Invasion looming. For the first time in the series' history, there are two Rathalos creatures but only one rider to face them. The game includes layered armor bonuses for players who have save data from previous Monster Hunter titles—different outfits unlock depending on which games you've played. Those who link their account to a Capcom ID will receive an additional costume. Free DLC will be available at launch, including accessories and armor sets, and players who pre-order or buy physical copies will get an exclusive layered armor set for one of the characters.
Capcom also used the event to outline how it's marking Resident Evil's 30th anniversary. Beyond the recently released Resident Evil Requiem, the company is planning a collaboration with Universal Studios Japan, a new Resident Evil 2 arcade game, a concert series called "Symphony of Legacy," and a compilation package called the Resident Evil Generation Pack that bundles together Resident Evil 7, 8, and 9.
The Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection received a detailed look at its online features. Players will be able to use their save data to build and modify card decks, search for matches across multiple titles, and compete in casual ranked or friend matches. The "Brother List" feature, which lets players connect with other players, has been expanded from holding 6 entries to 100. Capcom also revealed the results of a community design contest for Mega Man: Dual Override. The company received 10,000 submissions, narrowed them down to 20 finalists, and let the community vote on six winners. The winning designs were Cleanser Man, Sweeper Woman, Recycle Man, Cactus Man, Juggle Man, and Valve Man. Only one of these six will actually appear in the final game, though Capcom hasn't yet said which one.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the samurai action game coming sometime in 2026, got a new extended trailer showing off combat and exploration. The game follows Miyamoto Musashi through 17th-century Kyoto during the Edo period, with the player visiting real historical locations like the Kiyomizu-dera temple while fighting supernatural creatures called Genma. Musashi will encounter other characters along the way, including his old rival Sasaki Ganryu, and will use a special gauntlet called the Oni Mantle to overcome the challenges ahead.

The Hearth Conversation Another angle on the story
Why move Pragmata up just one week? That's an oddly specific decision.
It suggests the game is ready. A week earlier means Capcom has confidence in the build and probably wanted to surprise players with the news rather than delay further.
And Kenny Omega doing motion capture for Street Fighter 6—is that just a celebrity tie-in, or does it actually change how the character plays?
It's both. His wrestling background means the movements have a different physicality than a typical fighter. Whether that translates to gameplay advantage depends on how the developers balanced him.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 is giving away armor for people with old save data. Why do that?
Loyalty reward, mostly. It also encourages players to revisit the series' history. If you've played five Monster Hunter games, you get five different cosmetics. It's a way of saying your time with the franchise matters.
Only one of those six Mega Man boss designs will make it into the game. That's a lot of disappointment for five creators.
True, but they're still getting their work seen by millions and credited by Capcom. For a community contest, that's significant. The real question is whether the five losers get anything else—a cameo, a future game, compensation.
Resident Evil is 30 years old. Does Capcom seem to be treating that as a genuine milestone or just a marketing moment?
The scale of it—Universal collaboration, arcade game, concert series, a compilation pack—suggests they're taking it seriously. That's not a quick cash grab. That's a company honoring its own history.
