Capcom returns with a fresh Spotlight showcase, spotlighting new material for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, an expanded look at the announced Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, and a refreshed perspective on Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
Today marks the debut of new content for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, featuring the paid DLC “Additional Side Story: Rudy” alongside a complimentary update that introduces formidable end‑game challenges.
Longtime fans of Monster Hunter Stories and its sequel, Wings of Ruin, will spot the familiar figure of Navirou, who previously accompanied the main characters in both titles and is the forebear of the Royal Felyne, Rudy.
“Additional Side Story: Rudy” delves into Navirou’s destiny over the last two centuries, pitting ancestor and descendant against one another in a surprising turn of events.
Nergigante, the legendary flagship monster from Monster Hunter: World, reappears in the latest DLC as a relentless Elder Dragon, offering players a thrilling, high‑stakes showdown that will test their skills to the limit.
The side‑story hero Rudy is now available as a standalone DLC and also bundled with the Deluxe and Premium Deluxe editions. Head to the PlayStation Store to discover the fresh adventures waiting for you.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection receives a complimentary update that introduces the formidable Royal Monsters. Players can import a completed save file and face a more demanding version of the final boss; defeating it unlocks a world teeming with Royal Monsters, and even the toughest enemies, including invasive monsters and Calamitous Elder Dragons, get new, harder variants.
Two years after its original debut, Dragon’s Dogma 2 returns with the Dark Arisen expansion, delivering sweeping improvements and new content. The enhanced edition is available as a bundled package for newcomers and as a standalone expansion, both launching on October 9.
At Capcom Spotlight, Director Kento Kinoshita—renowned for steering the original Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen—unveiled the studio’s pledge to honor fan enthusiasm by deepening the Dragon’s Dogma 2 universe. He announced a brand‑new, icy frontier called Norgan, where players will confront a heart‑less Fallen Dragon and its enigmatic hunter, Eir.
The Norgan zone reintroduces the addictive Relic Expedition Cycle that defined the original title. Players will wage battles against tough adversaries, collect relics, and trade them for upgraded gear, with each expedition promising lucrative rewards.
The expansion brings 12 distinct dungeons—Lost Rites—where legendary gear once owned by former Arisen lies hidden. These trials unfold within Dragon’s Dogma 2’s established world, and the update also expands cosmetic choices with fresh hairstyles and tattoos, enriching character customization.
The core game already received a patch of quality‑of‑life tweaks. Before the expansion drops, a second complimentary update slated for late August will introduce player‑requested enhancements—extra save slots, an expansion of weapon skill slots from four to six, and overall performance boosts.
Pre‑orders for Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen open today on PS5 across most regions, with a global rollout slated for early July. Players who secure a pre‑order will receive the Norgan Fashion Set – Northern Attire, available whether they purchase the bundle or the standalone expansion. Those opting for the bundle will also gain instant access to the base game.
Whether you’re a fresh Arisen or a returning veteran, we’re eager for you to uncover the mysteries that await in Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, launching on PS5 on October 9.
Capcom’s celebrated sword‑fighting franchise returns with Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the first new entry in two decades. The series, which debuted on PlayStation 2, is poised to deliver its trademark samurai combat blended with a brooding fantasy setting.
Assume the role of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who has been slain by the grotesque Genma and resurrected with enigmatic Oni powers. Clad in an Oni Gauntlet, Musashi seeks purpose amid waves of formidable Genma in a twisted, dark‑fantasy rendition of Edo‑period Kyoto.
