Capcom opened Tokyo Game Show with a Spotlight that dated four separate projects. Here is what is actually coming, and roughly when you will get your hands on it.
The Capcom Spotlight aired on 16 September, the night before the show floor opened. It leaned almost entirely on the publisher’s two biggest live pillars, then found room for a surprise.
Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance is the headline. The expansion is set for 2027, and it brings back Teostra, the Elder Dragon a lot of you will remember from earlier generations.
The practical changes matter more than the monster list. You get a new attachment called the Boost Bracer, which temporarily strengthens certain actions rather than giving you a permanent buff. Fourteen weapons are covered.
The quality-of-life list is the part you will feel every hunt. Weapon swaps get faster. You can change equipment without ducking into a tent. Hunter loadouts let you make bulk changes in one go, and monster hide toughness now gets a detailed readout instead of guesswork.
If you are on Switch 2, the expansion is coming to that version in 2027 as well.
Capcom also opened pre-registration for Monster Hunter Outlanders, a new mobile entry in the series.
Street Fighter 6 gets a newcomer. Arjun joins the roster on 14 October, which makes him the next thing to learn if you are still grinding ranked.
The surprise was Mega Man: Dual Override, targeting Spring 2027. Proto Man is fully playable this time, not a cameo.
Stage design has been rebuilt around three areas per stage, which Capcom framed as more gradual progression than the series usually offers. More than 50 custom chips feed into it, giving both Mega Man and Proto Man a mix of active and passive abilities to build around.
Two smaller items closed it out. Six Resident Evil titles are being ported to Switch 2 as that series runs through its own 30th anniversary. And Pragmata owners are getting free Mega Man outfits, which went live during the show.
Tokyo Game Show itself lost its final day to an approaching typhoon, so the Spotlight ends up being one of the more complete presentations of the week.
