Hey there Fighters! We hope you are all staying safe out there, and we’d also like to thank you for all the support you’ve given to us with Street Fighter V over the past four years. Today, we are excited to reveal upcoming content for Street Fighter V: Champion Edition with the “Street Fighter V Summer Update!”

Join SFV Director Nakayama-san, SFV Producer Matsumoto-san, top-tier commentators Vicious and Tasty Steve, and All Elite Wrestling’s Kenny Omega as they deliver some exciting news!

We know you’ve all been waiting for info on new Street Fighter V content, so let’s dive into the main course for today: new characters!

Dan, Rose, Oro, and Akira

Four fan-favorite characters are joining Season V of Street Fighter V: Champion Edition! For a more detailed overview of each character, check out this PlayStation Blog entry. There’s even some exclusive gameplay footage of Dan in early development stage.

• Dan Hibiki – The Master of Saikyo Style returns with his unique fighting style and trademark Taunts! He also comes equipped with several new moves up his sleeves. Dan is scheduled for a release in Winter of 2020!
• Rose – Were you able to read the future? Fan favorite Rose brings her Soul Power to Street Fighter V: Champion Edition! In the Summer Update video, the team mentioned they knew that Soul Satellite was a popular move for her. Will her future involve bringing that move back? Rose and her new stage are scheduled to release in Spring 2021!
• Oro – Back from Street Fighter III, Oro will bring his unorthodox playstyle and unique attacks to SFV. He’s also bringing a new turtle friend with him… will it affect his gameplay? You’ll find out soon enough. Oro is scheduled to join the cast in Summer of 2021!
• Akira Kazama – Hailing from Rival Schools, Akira makes her Street Fighter debut in SFV.We’re planning to bring along some of her style and gimmicks from Rival Schools, while still fitting in SFV. Akira and her new stage are scheduled for Summer of 2021!
• ???? – You may also remember we previously said there would be five characters for Season V… but we’re not quite ready to announce our fifth yet. Stay tuned for info on that later on!

As a quick recap, here is our latest development roadmap:

Street Fighter League – Season 3

What’s Street Fighter V without a little competition? We’re excited to announce that Street Fighter League will be expanding to a global scale in its third season, bringing the best of the best from around the world to compete! Check out the trailer below!

Street Fighter x All Elite Wrestling

It’s the matchup of the century: SF x AEW! With the help of our friend Kenny Omega and All Elite Wrestling, we’ve collaborated with NERDS Clothing to bring you these awesome t-shirts featuring Dan vs. Kenny and Team SF vs. Team AEW! Get them for $37.99 here.

And that’s a wrap! We hope you are as excited as we are for the upcoming characters and content. Stay safe, and keep fighting!

Title Update 4 is available now and marks the return of Alatreon, the Blazing Black Dragon, in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. This legendary Elder Dragon’s appearance is sure to challenge even the most seasoned Hunters… but it’s not all we have in store for this update. Summer is heating up with a lively seasonal event, and a new Variant has been discovered: Frostfang Barioth!

Alatreon, the Symbol of Destruction

Unlike any other monster known to the Guild, Alatreon has the unique ability to switch its elemental attributes at will! These elemental states—Fire Active, Ice Active, Dragon Active—will change Alatreon’s elemental attack powers as well as its weaknesses, so you’ll have to strategize your equipment loadouts with your teammates if you hope to survive this hunt.

Speaking of survival… keep an eye out for Alatreon’s newly developed move: “Escaton Judgement.” Again, come prepared with elemental damage if you wish to stand a chance against this devastating new move.

Naturally, equipment forged from Alatreon parts will properly reflect the Elder Dragon’s elemental-focused nature, with a brand new Set Bonus skill that will raise your elemental attack power as you raise your elemental defenses.

NOTE: Before you can face the Special Assignment to hunt Alatreon, you must be MR 24 or higher and have completed at least the Safi’jiiva Recon Assignment.

Summer Seasonal Event – Sizzling Spice Fest

While you challenge the extremely powerful Alatreon, the Research Commission will be making preparations to celebrate the summer with a new seasonal event… the Sizzling Spice Fest!

The theme this time is a bit wild, so expect to see lots of feathers, monster-themed gear and assorted meat dishes! This lively event will bring us new Event Quests, a refreshed take on the Snowman and various items to craft and collect: Armor Sets, Layered Armor, Weapon Pendants, Palico Gear, a Poogie Outfit and more!

Sizzling Spice Fest will run from July 22 through August 6 UTC.

The Chilling Frostfang Barioth

A new Variant of Barioth has been discovered, and the Guild has named it Frostfang Barioth. This rugged flying wyvern has roamed and survived the most extreme conditions, and has developed powerful means of controlling the ice around it. Its breath attacks are now strong enough to freeze the ground and afflict Hunters with the Frostbind status.

Those that emerge victorious will be able to craft new Frostfang Barioth equipment, with a unique Set Bonus skill pairing. Equipping one armor piece will grant you the skill “Punishing Draw,” which boosts your attack power and gives Stun damage properties to draw attacks. And equipping three armor pieces will activate the “Slugger Secret,” which allows you to take the Slugger armor skill up to level 5 (Stun power +60%)!

Frostfang Barioth will be roaming the Hoarfrost Reach for a limited time via the Event Quest “The Last White Knight,” which will debut from August 7 through August 19 (UTC). All Hunters MR 24 or higher are called upon to take on this new Variant.

Elder Melder Guiding Alchemy

With this latest update, the Elder Melder has cooked up another quality of life improvement for your experiences in the Guiding Lands. Looking to optimize your equipment augments, but having a tough time finding the monsters that fit your needs? Now you can bring in other monsters’ parts and craft Special Tracks that will let you lure out the monster you want. Whenever you’re ready to get started, just head over to the Elder Melder and select the new Guiding Alchemy option.

Prepare yourselves, hunters: Title Update 4 finally has a release date! To celebrate the occasion, we’ve got a spicy teaser trailer to show you:

Twitch.tv/MonsterHunter

Another important update for all diligent hunters out there: Event Quests in Iceborne will be returning to their normal rotation, starting on July 8^th. So take on those quests whilst they’re still active!

Back in February, we brought nearly two dozen stand-alone soundtracks for Capcom games to Steam, including unique releases such as Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Turnabout Tunes. But we were just getting started, and as the summer heat rises, we’re heating things up with thirteen additional soundtracks. No game purchase is required, either. In fact, many of these are stand-alone soundtracks making their debut on Steam without an associated game for the first time!

Check out all of Capcom’s soundtracks on Steam HERE, and read on for more info on what’s just been added!

First up, breathe new life into your music collection with Breath of Fire! That’s right, individual soundtracks for Breath of Fire and four of its sequels (BoF II, BoF III, BoF IV, and BoF Dragon Quarter) invite you into the music of a fantasy world like no other, filled with a colorful cast of characters and tunes to match.

Maybe you prefer your monster slaying to be a little more action-focused with tunes to match? We’ve got you covered with soundtracks for Monster Hunter 3 (Tri), MH 4, and MH Generations. All three are perfect for going out to gather groceries: Honey, herbs, blue mushrooms, and, of course, eggs.

There won’t be silence in the courtroom this time around – as if all the finger pointing and OBJECTIONs weren’t enough, you can re-create the trademark chaos in the courtroom of Ace Attorney with soundtracks for Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney, Justice for All, and Trials and Tribulations! Every track sounds just Wright.

Longing for the sights and sounds of Raccoon City? 2019’s Resident Evil 2 soundtrack is full of haunting melodies and relaxing tunes that will transport you back to the city of the dead. Sit back, relax, and enjoy the calming sound of that wonderful safe room music… at least, until the Tyrant’s theme starts playing.

Looking to cool off after all that excitement? Take a refreshing dip into the great unknown seas with the unique sounds of Shinsekai: Into the Depths. With audio recorded underwater to ensure an authentic sound to match the game, you’re in for an unforgettable audio experience.

UPDATE, June 30th: we’ve just added an additional album, Shinsekai: Into the Depths Hidden Tracks. Check it out in our curated list.

These thirteen new soundtracks join our existing soundtracks on Steam, which also include soundtracks for Mega Man, Street Fighter, Devil May Cry, and lots more! All Capcom soundtracks on Steam are provided in a variety of formats including MP3, AAC and FLAC, giving you the option of flexible file sizes or top-quality fidelity. Several of these soundtracks are also available on other services, such as Spotify, Apple Music, and Amazon. Please note that these soundtracks are not indicative of a game releasing on Steam.

Get over to our curated list of Capcom Original Soundtracks on Steam and buy some of your favorite soundtracks – and find some new favorites while you’re there!

UPDATE (Nov. 17, 2021): we have updated the release window for PRAGMATA. Please see our latest blog post for more info.

Set in a dystopian near-future on Earth’s Moon, PRAGMATA will take you on an unforgettable adventure, powered by the Next Generation of gaming: PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and PC.

Our development team is hard at work on this brand new game title, making full use of new next-gen tech, such as ray-tracing, to create a breathtaking and immersive sci-fi setting like never before.

We’re very eager to show more, but… that’s all we have for now. We’ll be sharing additional information on PRAGMATA in 2021. You can follow the PRAGMATA channels on Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to get notified as soon as we’re ready to share any news.

Due to the positive reception to Season 4 and Champion Edition, we are planning to do a final Season “V”, which will add “V” more fighters to the roster. Three new stages are also being planned.

That’s all for now, but we’ll be back later this summer to share more details regarding the new content coming to Street Fighter V. For now, please continue enjoying everything included in Champion Edition.

Hunters of the Fifth Fleet, while the timeline for Alatreon’s arrival in Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is still uncertain, we’ve tweaked the reward rates for two of our Event Quests to help you get ready for when that time comes.

In this Event Quest, you’ll be challenged with hunting a Seething Bazelgeuse in the Arena. Once the hunt starts, there’s nowhere to run… but if you come out victorious, you’ll take home a pouch full of Heavy Armor Spheres. With this update, you’ll be walking away with even more armor spheres than before.

---

A Tempered Zinogre is roaming the Ancient Forest, and those skilled enough to take it down will be rewarded with precious Feystones to further deck out their armor sets with powerful skills. This update increases the drop rates for Sealed Feystones, which are more likely to turn into some of the top-tier decorations in the game.

---

That is all for today’s update. Just like most other Event Quests for MH: World& Iceborne, these do not have a set end date at the moment. Master Rank Kulve Taroth is also back in the Event Quest board and will be there for 2 weeks.

Stay safe, and Happy Hunting!

Last week, we wrapped up our Developer Diary video series, where we talked about various aspects of the development of Shinsekai: Into the Depths, with the last video being about sound and music. Now is time to submerge ourselves once again into that topic, but through different lenses. Check out the video below:

As you might imagine, this underwater audio recording is not your standard approach to video game audio production, but it makes perfect sense for Shinsekai since almost the whole game takes place deep in the ocean.

I find this to be a great companion piece to our last Dev Diary, in which producer Pete Fabiano dives into this very subject with more details and a few other tidbits. If you haven’t seen it yet, give it a watch here:

Hope you’ve enjoyed these behind-the-scenes looks at Shinsekai: Into the Depths. Let us know what you think in the comments below!

And just a friendly reminder that the game is available now on Nintendo Switch and Apple Arcade. Have fun, and stay safe!

Over the past few weeks, our mini-series of Developer Diary videos have offered a peek behind the curtain by talking about the developer process behind some core aspects of Shinsekai: Into the Depths. We’ve just about wrapped that up for now, so here’s all three videos in one convenient location for ya:

---

Bit of a spoiler warning though: we tried to keep these videos free of any large story and gameplay spoilers, but you may see some hints of key elements here and there. So, if you haven’t played or finished Shinsekai: Into the Depths yet, approach these with caution. (Also… what are you waiting for?! It’s a wonderful game full of exploration and wonder! I had a great time with it and highly recommend it.)

---

Developer Diary #1

In this entry, Art Director and Game Director Shuichi Kawata talks with Producer Pete Fabiano about the main inspirations for the game as a whole, and how he started with the idea of flying / falling freely and eventually ended up with a mysterious underwater puzzle adventure. They also touch briefly on the all-new game mode called “Another Dive.”

---

Developer Diary #2

This one is all about the visual design of the game; from the character design, to the kanji scattered throughout the game, and even some background on the creation of the game title and logo.

Personally, I’m big fan of the idea of making me feel like I was looking at an aquarium. I definitely remember feeling that way during certain moments of my journey, and it was delightful.

---

Developer Diary #3

And to close out this mini-series, Pete recorded the final episode (from his home!) and talks about the ins-and-outs of crafting the sound and music for this game. There’s some very interesting bits about their Foley recording process, and how the music was re-recorded in gear submerged in water to further emphasize the immersion in the game world.

---

Well that’s all we’ve got for now, but stay tuned for one more behind-the-scenes look at Shinsekai: Into the Depths coming up very soon.

In the meantime, let us know your favorite thing about Shinsekai or these Developer Diary videos in the comments below. And if you haven’t played the game yet, it’s available now on Nintendo Switch and via Apple Arcade.
