Capcom has officially revealed its upcoming Capcom Spotlight showcase, scheduled to air live on Thursday, June 26, accompanied by a brief teaser trailer hinting at featured titles. Multiple anticipated projects, including Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem, will be highlighted in the 40-minute presentation. Additionally, viewers will be provided updates for established franchises like Monster Hunter Wilds and Street Fighter 6. Given fan excitement for these upcoming games, will this showcase keep the momentum going?

Capcom Spotlight Highlights Multiple Games

Pragmata stands out as Capcom’s first new intellectual property among these reveals since 2023’s Exoprimal, despite being announced earlier and initially targeting a 2023 release before its delay to 2026. This extended development cycle, combined with positive hands-on impressions from Summer Game Fest 2025 attendees, suggests Pragmata could become Capcom’s next major franchise, as indicated by early reports praising its exhilarating combat system. Although Pragmata was originally unveiled before Exoprimal, it wouldn’t launch until three years later.

The game’s protracted journey to release reflects Capcom’s willingness to prioritize polish over deadlines for this ambitious sci-fi project. Ultimately, the publisher’s approach potentially sets a new standard, focusing on new IP development moving forward. With Capcom Spotlight’s inclusion of both fresh announcements and updates for live-service titles, the gaming company demonstrates its balanced strategy of nurturing existing communities while cultivating future hits. As an example, Pragmata serves as a clear indicator of the company’s creative ambitions beyond its legendary franchises.

Resident Evil 9’s Dual-Perspective Gameplay Revealed

Another game that will have significant attention at the upcoming Capcom Spotlight is Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth core installment in the survival horror franchise. Moreover, the next chapter in the iconic horror franchise also debuted its reveal trailer at Summer Game Fest 2025. Its story will follow FBI agent Grace Ashcroft as the protagonist, who’s thrust into a personal investigation of bizarre deaths at a Raccoon City hotel, where her mother died under mysterious circumstances eight years prior. Despite the city’s canonical destruction in Resident Evil 3: Nemesis, fans of the original games will take a terrifying trip down memory lane.

Furthermore, Capcom made the innovative decision to implement optional perspective switching between first- and third-person gameplay. While this dual perspective marks a series first, it also potentially revolutionizes how players experience survival horror. Before Resident Evil Requiem’s scheduled February 2026 release, however, the Capcom Spotlight showcase will broadcast at 3 PM PT on June 26 across Capcom’s official channels, providing deeper insights into these ambitious design choices alongside other major announcements.
