Summer is a bustling time for the gaming industry, with events like Summer Game Fest, the PlayStation Showcase, and Nintendo Directs unveiling new games and updates. As summer draws to a close, there are still big announcements to come, including Capcom's appearance at the Tokyo Game Show 2023. This event has been a consistent presence in the gaming world since 1996, offering Japanese publishers and developers the opportunity to provide fans with updates on their upcoming titles. Capcom, in particular, has a lineup of games to showcase both at the event and through their livestream.
What Fans Can Expect To See From Capcom At Tokyo Game Show 2023
Capcom's presence at Tokyo Game Show 2023 will span the entire four-day event. However, the main highlight for those unable to attend in person will be the developer's pre-recorded showcase. This showcase is scheduled to be broadcasted on Thursday, September 21 at 7 AM PT, through Tokyo Game Show's official YouTube channel. During this livestream, Capcom will reveal several of its games, most of which have already been confirmed on the developer's website.
According to Capcom's official site, the pre-recorded livestream on September 21 will shine a spotlight on a total of four games. Firstly, an updated preview of the Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy will be showcased. This collection of Ace Attorney games is slated for an early 2024 release. Additionally, Capcom's showcase will feature Street Fighter 6, where they will provide detailed information about the latest DLC character, A.K.I. Another highlight will be an overview of Exoprimal's Title Update 2. Finally, Dragon's Dogma 2 will present a new gameplay trailer, which will subsequently be dissected by the game's director, Hideaki Itsuno.
Capcom currently has only scheduled the appearance of a few games during its live event. However, there is a possibility of additional surprise reveals and updates. On its website, Capcom has featured images of Resident Evil 4 VR and Monster Hunter Now on the front page, indicating that these games may be available for players to test at the event. It is also possible that Capcom's Tokyo Game Show presentation may include a brief glimpse of Resident Evil 4 VR and Monster Hunter Now, either during the event or in a concluding montage.
Although there may be some surprises, historically Capcom does not tend to disclose a significant amount of information during the Tokyo Game Show. Fans might anticipate smaller unexpected announcements, such as the release of another collection of classic titles or something similar to last year's Resident Evil Nintendo Switch Cloud announcement. Overall, it is unlikely that there will be any major reveals, meaning that fans should not expect a reveal of Resident Evil 9 or an update on Pragmata during this year's Tokyo Game Show.
