Capcom

Capcom is in a period of aggressive franchise expansion, with the Onimusha revival launching September 4, Street Fighter League JAPAN 2026 beginning August 25, and a Resident Evil 30th anniversary exhibition opening October 30. The company also reports record fiscal year 2026 sales driven by repeat titles.

Synthesized from 30 Yomimono stories · updated 4h ago

Capcom's recent output centers on reviving dormant franchises and extending the commercial life of established ones. The clearest example is Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the first new mainline entry in about 20 years. Capcom moved its release date up from September 25 to September 4, launched a nine-part character video series narrated by the Oni no Kajin, and held a hands-on event that emphasized an accessible demo while promising tougher full-game content. The game launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC.

Beyond Onimusha, Capcom is building out physical and competitive spaces. CAPCOMIX Minato Mirai opened in Yokohama, and Street Fighter League JAPAN 2026 begins August 25 with 12 teams, including new entrant Riddle Order. Vspo! returns as support ambassador for a second year, expanding to five talents. The Resident Evil 30th anniversary exhibition runs from October 30 to December 24 in Shibuya, described as the world's first large-scale show for the series.

Commercially, Capcom reported record fiscal year 2026 sales, with repeat titles accounting for 83.7% of total sales. Devil May Cry 5 sold 2.7 million units in the year, boosted by the Netflix anime. Street Fighter 6 continues its Year 4 rollout with character Yasmin, and Monster Hunter Stories 3 receives ongoing DLC. Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen launches October 9.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword Hands-On: Raishogan Boss and Real Kyoto Field Impress

Capcom held a media tour and hands-on event for Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the first completely new entry in the series in 20 years, ahead of its September 4 release on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC.

Rockman's Soccer Free on Capcom Town for June

Capcom will offer the Super Famicom title Rockman's Soccer for free on its Capcom Town web portal from June 1 to June 30. The game, originally released in 1994, features Rockman and other series characters competing in soccer matches. It is a relatively obscure entry in the Rockman franchise, with few re-releases since its debut; the overseas version was included in the licensed RETRO STATION console in 2020. Capcom Town is a portal site that hosts a rotating selection of classic Capcom games playable for free in a web browser, including titles like Ghosts 'n Goblins, Final Fight, and The Legend of Kage. The free period runs for the entire month of June, and Capcom has indicated that the game may return for future limited-time availability after this window closes.
