Capcom published the second wave of its exhibitor information for Tokyo Game Show 2026, which runs September 17 to September 21 at Makuhari Messe. The Nintendo Switch 2 version of Monster Hunter Wilds, set for release on December 4, 2026, joins the booth as a playable demo with two quests: a beginner-oriented hunt for Kematris and a veteran-oriented hunt for Lagiacrus. Demos run multiplayer only in handheld mode, with tickets distributed first come, first served. Three Resident Evil remake titles also join on Switch 2: Resident Evil RE:2 Z version Deluxe Edition, Resident Evil RE:3 Z version, and Resident Evil RE:4 Gold Edition, each playable from its opening story with novelties handed out in limited quantities. Capcom also detailed demo content for previously announced titles including Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and Street Fighter 6, and set the Capcom Spotlight | TGS 2026 stream for September 16.
Capcom's second wave of exhibitor information also carries perks for attendees. Resident Evil demo bonuses include microfiber handkerchiefs and stickers, passed out in limited quantities. For Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance, visitors can pick up a microfiber handkerchief printed with the new monster Blast Charge Bird Arakeata, plus a "Let's Hunt However We Like!" sticker. Novelty items for Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen and Mega Man: Dual Override follow the same handkerchief-and-sticker pattern.
The Onimusha: Way of the Sword demo puts players in the game's Training Room, where they fight sword-clashing action against powerful enemies. Anyone who defeats [Ifū · Burai] on the "Sword Clash" difficulty inside the 25-minute playtest window receives an original T-shirt. The Street Fighter 6 trial runs on the PS5 version and uses the PS5 build, with essentially two-player matches. Arjun, the second additional Year 4 character, arrives in the game on October 13, and the novelties are an Arjun handkerchief plus a Street Fighter League 2026 logo sticker set.
A Shooting Range collaboration between airsoft maker Tokyo Marui and Resident Evil will also appear. Every participant gets a Resident Evil x Tokyo Marui 2027 collaboration calendar. Entry is limited to people 18 or older who bring identification, and children cannot enter.
