If you haven’t had your fill of exciting announcements and debuts from this year’s summer gaming events, here’s a recap of everything Capcom showed off during its showcase today.
The objective-based, dinosaur-hunting game Exoprimal is set to have another open beta starting on Thursday, June 15 at 5:00pm PDT (or 8:00pm EDT) and running until Sunday, June 18 at 4:59pm PDT (or 7:59pm EDT). The open beta, which will be available on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC, will include 10-player co-op missions, story content, and a more in-depth look at the main game mode, Dino Survival. Those who participate will receive the “Flash” Zephyr skin when the full game launches on July 14. Capcom also debuted the first look of a new Exosuit vhowariant, the Deadeye Alpha: Burst Fire, as well as a special co-op mode called Savage Gauntlet. There, teams of five players will take on PvE missions that rotate weekly.
A demo for Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective is now available. The rebirth of the spirited classic is heading to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC on June 30, 2023. During today’s event, Capcom gave a sneak peek into the spirit realm with a tutorial on how to use the powers of the dead.
Arguably the highlight of the showcase, Dragon’s Dogma 2 Director Hideaki Itsuno gave a deeper look at the upcoming game’s combat, Pawns, and gameplay systems. The AI-controlled Pawns return from the original Dragon’s Dogma and will accompany players throughout their journey, allowing them to create a party of up to four characters. Players will not only be able to customize their Arisen in Dragon’s Dogma 2, but also their main Pawn that can be recruited by other players’ Arisen.
Capcom also shared that the world map for Dragon’s Dogma 2 is about four times the size of the original game. More information on vocations and other features heading to Dragon’s Dogma 2 will be shared in the future. Unfortunately, no release date or window was announced. The game is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Another iconic Capcom franchise got a major announcement with Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy set to release sometime in 2024. This collection is heading to the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Switch, and PC and will include Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney, Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies, and Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice. The game will feature full HD graphics and voice recordings in seven languages: Japanese, English, French, German, Korean, Traditional Chinese, and Simplified Chinese.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, originally debuted at the Xbox Games Showcase 2023, made another appearance. The game, which is in development for PlayStation 5, XBox Series X|S, and PC, follows in the tradition of titles such as Okami and SHINSEKAI Into the Depths. The game is aiming to deliver an experience that blends strategy and action in a Japanese-inspired world. Look for more details on this title to be revealed in the future.
Mega Man fans got a little bit of news, although it’s not terribly exciting. Mega Man X Dive Offline is set to roll out this year on Android, iOS, and PC. It’s basically a mobile Mega Man X game with over 900 playable stages and over 100 customizable characters.
Remember Pragmata? No? Well, you might not have to for a while. The sci-fi action-adventure game has been delayed indefinitely, but we did get a new trailer today that showed off some gameplay footage. The game is currently in development for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
Regrettably, there were no Monster Hunter announcements today, not even a teaser. You can watch some of the trailers from today’s Capcom Showcase below.
