Capcom held another Spotlight presentation, during which it revealed news about its most important franchises. The company focused primarily on an expansion for Dragon's Dogma 2, new footage of Onimusha and fresh content for Monster Hunter Stories 3. There were new trailers, information on free updates and details about upcoming releases. For fans of the Japanese studio it was one of the most important presentations in recent months. Capcom showed it intends to continue significantly expanding its biggest franchises even after the release of the base games.
Dragon’s Dogma 2 gets a massive expansion, and Monster Hunter Stories 3 is already expanding
One of the biggest announcements turned out to be Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, a large expansion prepared two years after the base game's release. The expansion will debut on 9 October both as a standalone expansion and as a complete edition for new players. The action will take players to a new, frozen region called Norgan, where a mysterious Fallen Dragon will appear alongside a new heroine named Eir. The expansion will also introduce the Relic Expedition Cycle system, which involves exploring new areas, obtaining relics and trading them for progressively more powerful equipment. The developers have also prepared 12 new Lost Rites dungeons, additional hairstyles, tattoos and further character customisation options. Capcom also announced a free update for the base game that will increase the number of save slots, expand the number of active skills from four to six and improve performance. At the same time, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is being developed in parallel. A paid add-on, Additional Side Story: Rudy, has already arrived in the game, expanding the story of the well-known character Navirou and introducing new plot threads. In the DLC, players will also face the legendary dragon Nergigante, known from Monster Hunter: World. In addition, a free update added exceptionally tough endgame challenges in the form of Royal Monsters, intended for the most experienced players. Capcom is clearly showing that it intends to support Monster Hunter Stories 3 for a long time after launch.
Onimusha returns after many years, and Capcom reminds us of its biggest franchises
The presentation also included new material from Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the first new entry in the series in nearly two decades. Capcom showcased a new enemy called Dohatsu-ten, who will be one of the main bosses in the upcoming game. The powerful demon fights with a sword, grows stronger with every wound inflicted, and can absorb the souls of its opponents, increasing its power during battle. The main protagonist remains Miyamoto Musashi, who, thanks to the mysterious Oni Power, once again confronts the demonic Genma in a dark version of feudal Kyoto. Capcom also reminded that the game will launch this September, and players can now download a free demo available on PlayStation 5. The whole presentation showed that the Japanese developer has no intention of slowing down. At the same time, the company is developing new entries in familiar franchises, supports already released titles with major updates, and invests in substantial story expansions. As a result, the coming months look set to be particularly busy for fans of Capcom's games. In particular, Dragon’s Dogma 2 and Onimusha are currently among the studio's most anticipated projects. Everything suggests the developer is preparing a very strong second half of the year for its biggest franchises.
Capcom Spotlight 2026 delivered several major announcements. Dragon’s Dogma 2 will receive a large expansion, Dark Arisen, Monster Hunter Stories 3 has been boosted with new DLC and a free update, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword revealed another powerful foe ahead of its September release.
