Capcom says Dragon’s Dogma 2 is running better on Nintendo Switch 2 than the team expected. Producer Naoto Oyama said the game is “exceeding our expectations” and that it often runs at more than 30 FPS. He explained that the performance improvements made for the PS5 and Xbox Series X|S versions of the game also helped the Switch 2 version, leading to better results than the team originally predicted. Oyama also said the RE Engine has been “a really great fit” for Nintendo Switch 2. Because Capcom develops the engine in-house, every improvement made for one game can be used in future projects, creating what he called “a really positive cycle” for the studio.

Capcom says it’s “quite confident” that Onimusha: Way of the Sword will offer a solid challenge in the full game after many players felt the demo was “too easy.” Producers Akihito Kadowaki and director Satoru Nihei explained that the demo takes place early in the game and was “custom built” to give Musashi skills players would normally unlock later, which combined to make it “easier than it should be.” They added that if every enemy was difficult, “it would lead to stress” for some players, but promised tougher enemies and said there will “definitely” be something for players looking for a bigger challenge.

Capcom is Removing Dragon’s Dogma 2 Microtransactions Capcom has announced that Dragon’s Dogma 2 Deluxe Edition and several DLC packs will be removed from sale on June 25, 2026 (UTC). These include packs containing Rift Crystals, Character Editor items, and Pawn support items. Players who already own this content will still be able to use it after removal from stores. Capcom also confirmed that the standard digital version of Dragon’s Dogma 2 will receive a permanent price cut The company says this aims to make the game more affordable before the release of Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen. Capcom thanked fans for their support and said more adventures are on the way with Dark Arisen later this year.

Capcom president and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto says one of the biggest changes that helped the company was moving away from relying on star developers and focusing on team-based development. “In the game industry, when a title becomes a series, it often ends up depending heavily on a particular developer, becoming what you’d call an individual-driven title. If that person doesn’t make one, there’s no next installment. The direction of the series becomes tied to the ideas of a single creator.” Tsujimoto explained that Capcom eventually realized the limits of that approach and decided to change course. “We discussed the issue with the central figures behind each franchise and ultimately agreed that we should abandon that approach.” “We didn’t mind even if sales temporarily declined as a result, and by switching to a team-based approach to game development, Capcom changed dramatically.” According to Tsujimoto, this shift helped franchises like Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, and Street Fighter continue to thrive for decades Via Automaton

Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil Veronica will make some changes to its story to better fit the overall Resident Evil timeline. Speaking to Famitsu, producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi said the remake will keep the main events of the original game, but some scenes and story details will be updated to connect better with the modern Resident Evil remakes. Capcom also said that Veronica is an important part of the series and its place in the timeline will not change. The game still takes place three months after Resident Evil 2.

Capcom has teased the possibility of a future Resident Evil game set in Japan for the first time in the franchise’s history. In a recent interview with Japanese outlet Futaman, Resident Evil Requiem producer Masato Kumazawa revealed that the idea has been discussed within the development team for years. “Since the development team is primarily based in Japan, I think every member has given it some thought. While Japan hasn’t appeared as a game setting so far, it might make an appearance at some point in the future.” Resident Evil has never had a mainline game set in its home country.

Capcom has stated that generative AI “still cannot match” the skill of human developers behind major franchises such as Resident Evil and Monster Hunter. In a recent update, the company emphasized its commitment to human creativity for game content, confirming: “We will not implement assets generated by AI into our games.” Instead, Capcom plans to use AI as a supportive tool to boost efficiency and productivity, particularly in testing and repetitive development tasks that do not involve final creative output.

Capcom’s latest fiscal report confirms that PC has been the company’s top sales platform for three straight years. For the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026,: >PC sales reached 32.17 million units, accounting for 58% of total game sales. >Consoles followed with 22.76 million units. >Digital sales made up 93% of the total across all platforms. PC represented 52% of sales in fiscal 2023 and 60% in fiscal 2024. Capcom attributes the shift to strong Steam performance, aggressive discounting of older titles, and day-and-date releases for major franchises like Resident Evil and Monster Hunter. Capcom CEO Kenzo Tsujimoto stated, “I believe that the PC will further establish itself as the world’s leading gaming platform, which will serve to increase the value of the PC market.” Via:
