Capcom announced two upcoming games during a recent Nintendo Direct: Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is scheduled for release on the Nintendo Switch 2 on September 25th. This is the first new Onimusha title since Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams was released for the PlayStation 2. The game will support Joy-Con 2 motion controls, allowing players to experience the action in a unique way. The protagonist is a young samurai, whose design is inspired by Miyamoto Musashi and actor Toshiro Mifune. The action takes place in Kyoto, where players will face tough opponents with impressive martial arts skills. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is currently available for preorder. Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen will launch on October 9th, 2026, for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. The Dark Arisen expansion will also be available as DLC for the base game on PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC via Steam. This expansion brings the Dragon's Dogma series to Nintendo Switch for the first time.
The Dark Arisen expansion introduces a new snowy Nordic region named Norgan, where the Arisen must team up with the enigmatic Eir to investigate an immortal fallen dragon. Players will discover and appraise forgotten relics to unlock new powerful weapons and abilities. The expansion also introduces 12 Lost Rites dungeon challenges, created by the Pathfinder to test the Arisen's skills and recover rare equipment once wielded by past Arisen. New character customization options will also be available, including new hairstyles and tattoos. Prior to the Dark Arisen expansion's release, the base game will receive two significant updates. The first, scheduled for June 9th, will introduce a reusable Eternal Ferrystone to improve fast travel and include various quality-of-life adjustments. The second update, expected by the end of August, will enhance frame rates, add more save slots, and further refine the quality-of-life improvements implemented in June.

Game info
- Official Name
- Capcom Fighting All-Stars
- Brief Summary
- The shadow of fear was approaching Metro City. A man only known as Death, was running around Metro City with a bomb. The bomb was codenamed "Laughter Sun". Mayor Mike Haggar contacted the characters listed above in order to locate and defeat Death and then defuse the bomb. Codes were needed to disarm the bomb, and that is where the Code Holders subtitle of the game comes into play. D.D. and his teammates, Rook and Ingrid, were the Code Holders. Their codes are Ogre, Fallen Angel, and Isis. The game had a time limit, and depending of how long the player took to finish the game, the ending would vary. Originally, Capcom Fighting All-Stars was planned to be a 2D sequel to Capcom vs. SNK 2: Mark of the Millennium 2001, before being converted to 3D. However, due to SNK's financial troubles and restructuring, the title was redesigned as a Capcom-only crossover with twenty former SNK members designing it, using the models previously built for the original title. Like SNK's KOF: Maximum Impact games, it was designed to translate a 2D fighting game series into 3D. This was done previously in the Street Fighter EX series, which Capcom co-produced with Arika. Capcom beta-tested the game, but after negative feedback from players and more months in development, the game was canceled in August 2003. According to an interview with former The King of Fighters director Toyohisa Tanabe, a secret character from Tanabe's old company (SNK) was set to be playable in Capcom Fighting All Stars.. While not confirmed, the figure bears a heavy resemblance to K' or Kyo Kusanagi.
