Having a presence during today’s PlayStation Showcase digital livestream run by Sony Interactive Entertainment, Capcom took the opportunity to showcase three of their upcoming games: the action-RPG Dragon’s Dogma 2, melee-focused Street Fighter 6, and the PlayStation VR2 exclusive Resident Evil 4 VR Mode.
Dragon’s Dogma 2, announced during the “Dragon’s Dogma 10th Anniversary” event, was presented with a new trailer showcasing the new world of the Arisen, developed in Capcom’s RE ENGINE. Capcom confirmed that Dragon’s Dogma 2 is currently in development for the PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Alongside this, Street Fighter 6 was announced for release on June 2, 2023, across PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Capcom also revealed that the Resident Evil 4 VR Mode free DLC will be released exclusively for PlayStation VR 2 for PlayStation 5.
Scroll down for a fresh look at all three games:
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Dragon’s Dogma 2 begins in a subterranean jail, where the Dragon’s voice echoes in the fog of lost memories. With their heart taken by the Dragon, the Arisen is set on a path to slay that symbol of the world’s destruction as it soars through the sky on massive wings, breathing flames that scorch everything in its path. Betwixt the domains of humans and the newly introduced beastren race, a hero must fulfill their forgotten destiny, and claim the throne. Up to three mysterious otherworldly beings, known as Pawns, accompany the Arisen throughout their journey. Pawns create the feeling of a cooperative gameplay experience by offering unique characteristics, skills, and knowledge gained from their experiences with other Arisen.
This single player narrative driven action-RPG challenges players to use their creativity and curiosity to shape their own experience. Whether it is your Arisen’s vocation, the Pawns selected for your party, or your approach to multi-faceted gameplay situations, the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 revolves around choice. Capcom’s advanced RE ENGINE produces vividly detailed, high fidelity graphics combined with immersive physics and complex and reactive character AI to create a setting where decisions, and their consequences, come to life. Both your party of Pawns and enemies alike will react dynamically to your actions on the battlefield, whether you cling to the backs of monsters or seek to dispatch them from afar. Your vocation allows you to choose your playstyle, and whether you will use swords, bows, or potent magick to bring your foes to heel. With the Arisen’s future veiled in mystery, what challenges and triumphs await on the path to their destiny?

Street Fighter 6, releasing on June 2, is available for pre-order now and represents the next evolution of the Street Fighter series with a combo of unique fighting game innovations and brimming with content across three brand new game modes – Fighting Ground, World Tour, and Battle Hub.
