From A to Z, here’s every monster revealed for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne so far

Aug 29, 2019 // Yuri Araujo

We’re nearly there, hunters; the final stretch! We just dropped a “shocking” new trailer, our final Beta goes live tomorrow and the game launches in just a week, so this is as good a time as ever to look back and take a full count of every new, returning fan-favorite, Elder Dragon, subspecies, and variant monster we’ve revealed (thus far) for Iceborne.

Just a quick note, we’re only counting the monsters we’ve officially revealed as additions to Iceborne , so this list will not include the vast selection already available in the Monster Hunter: World base game. Alright, let’s get started:

Acidic Glavenus

The regular Glavenus species is getting a revamp for Iceborne , but we also wanted to expand on that concept and try new things. Instead of a fiery Great Sword-like tail, Acidic Glavenus will bring a sulphur coated Long Sword-like tailpiece to the fight.

. . .

Banbaro

This was the first new monster we revealed for Iceborne, setting the frosty tone for the massive expansion. Its unique environmental interactions and gameplay ushers us into the new Hoarfrost Reach ecosystem.

. . .

Barioth

The fan favorite tusked wyvern returns with its signature wall-clinging tricks, all-new attacks, and a revised rhythm to its movements.

. . .

Beotodus

Another monster that made its debut in the first trailer for Iceborne, Beotodus will be ready to welcome you into Master Rank with speedy surprise attacks, Iceblight, and more! Exciting!

. . .

Brachydios

Okay, this fight is a blast. Literally. With the power to create explosions everywhere and new properties for its slime attacks, Brachydios will make you question its spot on your favorites list. (Pretty sure it’ll still stay near the top though).

. . .

Coral Pukei-Pukei

This one is another great example of our designers expanding upon a monster’s original concept with a new take. The Coral Pukei-Pukei subspecies spits water instead of Poison… and uses its tongue in a very interesting way to complement that. Let me know what you think when you spot it.

. . .

Ebony Odogaron

This Odogaron subspecies is quite terrifying. Not only does it start fights in a powered-up state, it carries around meat to regain strength and is charged with Dragon elemental that can take away your weapon’s elemental or status properties. Beware of Ebony Odogaron!

. . .

Fulgur Anjanath

Anjanath was the very first monster we showed publicly for Monster Hunter: World—also how fitting that its name starts with “A”—so this one has a special place in MH history. Fulgur Anjanath takes the core concept and gives it a shocking twist: electric charged snot! You are not ready for this.

.  . .

Glavenus

We already covered Glavenus in the Acidic Glavenus portion, but this brute still deserves a lot of attention and respect. Don’t underestimate this monster thinking it’ll be like its previous iterations… anyways, watch out for more burning sources other than its giant tail.

. . .

Namielle

This new Elder Dragon stormed in as a teaser on our previous trailer , and quickly flooded the internet with excitement and excellent fan art. Our newest trailer shows a liiiiittle bit more gameplay, but we’re largely saving this one for the game’s release so… have fun!

. . .

Nargacuga

One more fan favorite former flagship monster returns to the fray! Nargacuga won our hearts with a faster combat rhythm, awesome gear and a killer music track back in 2009. Now, 10 years later, we’re ready to fall in love again… and fall in battle to those deadly tail slams!

. . .

Nightshade Paolumu

Did you ever wish you could snuggle up to Paolumu’s big furry neck and just doze off? Well, now you can! I mean, you will… even if you didn’t want to! And instead of a comfy furry spot, you’ll meet the hard end of its tail. Wow, this went from “dreamy” to “nightmarish” rather fast… and that’s Nightshade Paolumu for ya.

. . .

Shrieking Legiana

So far, we’ve seen and talked about a number of subspecies, but Shrieking Legiana is actually catalogued as a “variant” of the Legiana we already know. This variant is much more in tune with its ice element, so get ready for some extra frosty attacks.

. . .

Tigrex

Part of what makes Monster Hunter monsters so special is that each of them seem to have their own personality. Some are graceful, some are more guarded, others are tranquil until you pick a fight, etc. Tigrex, however, is pure rampage… all the time! Hunting one is a true test of endurance and survival. There’s nothing quite like it.

. . .

Velkhana – the flagship monster of Iceborne

Much is still unknown about this mythical Elder Dragon, but what we do know is that it can command the ice element in impressive ways and its roar sounds like… singing…? I really can’t wait for you to discover all about this majestic being, along with the mysteries behind the story of Iceborne.

. . .

Viper Tobi-Kadachi

The regular Tobi-Kadachi was the first monster in World to threaten hunters with Thunderblight, challenging us to be more aware of receiving repeated attacks and the consequences that follow. The Viper Tobi-Kadachi is here to dial that concept up to 11, pressuring you with 2 different status ailments: Poison and Paralysis!

. . .

Yian Garuga

Everyone’s favorite short-tempered purple bird wyvern is back! Actually, I hear it’s not technically “everyone’s favorite” but… look, it’s got all the makings of one: a rugged but stylish design, badass soundtrack, a memorable roar and an attitude! What’s not to love?

. . .

Zinogre

Ah, Zinogre… took you long enough to make your way to the New World, huh? Well, glad you could make it, bud. And I’m sure a lot of folks out there will agree. I already wrote a bunch about Zinogre on the latest PlayStation Blog , so I’m actually going to leave you with that. =]

. . .

That’s it for the new and returning monsters we’ve revealed (thus far) for Iceborne . In hindsight, I wish I had made a list like this for World so we could add them together and see the full breadth of content in the game but—actually, why not? Here’s Monster Hunter: World from A to Z “short ver.”:

Anjanath – Azure Rathalos – Barroth – Bazelgeuse – (Behemoth) – Black Diablos – Deviljho – Diablos – Dodogama – Great Girros – Great Jagras – Jyuratodus – Kirin – Kulu-Ya-Ku – Kushala Daora – Kulve Taroth – Lavasioth – Legiana – (Leshen) – Lunastra – Nergigante – Odogaron – Paolumu – Pink Rathian – Pukei-Pukei – Radobaan – Rathalos – Rathian – Teostra – Tobi-Kadachi – Tzitzi-Ya-Ku – Uragaan – Vaal Hazak – Xeno’jiiva – Zorah Magdaros

That’s quite the list! Personally, I’m pretty happy both lists have monsters starting with “A” and “Z” but I’m particularly excited to see Yian Garuga again, hunt it and craft all its gear. Which monster are you most excited to hunt and craft gear from in Iceborne?

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne launches on PS4 and Xbox One on September 6, and on PC in January 2020. Happy Hunting!

MISSION START! Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection busts out January 21st!

Aug 27, 2019 // Kellen Haney

Six games, five heroes, and two series megamerge into one giant collection! Taking legendary Reploids into the far future, join Zero as he battles against the forces of Neo Arcadia, then witness the rise of a new generation looking to carve out their own story. Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection brings the intense action of Mega Man Zero through Mega Man Zero 4 as well as Mega Man ZX and Mega Man ZX Advent to modern platforms beginning January 21, 2020!

Just like with past Legacy Collections, you’re getting a ton of bonus content, including galleries filled with character illustrations and art. There’s also a music player, great for listening to the excellent tracks from each game, and several new songs made just for Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection! Plus, if you watched the trailer, you might have caught a sneak preview of a brand new Z Chaser mode being added. We’ll have more info on that soon, but for now, let’s get to the games.

“Zero… has been resurrected….”

Set hundreds of years after the events of the Mega Man X games, Mega Man Zero sets the stage for the revival of the legendary Reploid Zero as he joins human scientist Ciel and Resistance forces in their fight for a better future. As the events of each Mega Man Zero game unfold, you’ll learn more about the fate of old friends and gain powerful new allies… as well as cross paths with terrifyingly destructive foes.

Fortunately, Zero still knows how to fight, but it’s up to you to put his skills with a Buster and his legendary Z-Saber to use. You’ll need to bring your absolute “A” game if you want to stand a chance of cutting through challenging stages and difficult foes alike! With each adventure featuring a unique ranking system that can affect what attacks bosses use and even what powered-up EX skills Zero learns from his victories, it’s up to you to use familiar armaments and new, unique weapons to take down your enemies. As you progress through each game, you’ll come closer to uncovering the truth behind the ruinous Elf Wars and the dark secrets lurking within Neo Arcadia.

“Okay, yell ‘MEGAMERGE!’ as loud as you can!”

Hundreds of years after the events of Mega Man Zero come to an end, humans and Reploids now live together in peace at the start of Mega Man ZX. However, an old threat has re-emerged: Mavericks. These berserk Reploids attack anything they see, and when they set their sights on a pair of Transporters on a routine delivery, the wheel of fate begins to turn again. As Vent or Aile, discover your ability to megamerge with Biometal Model X and Biometal Model Z to take on powerful new forms and put a stop to the Maverick menace!

Mega Man ZX Advent, set several years after the events of the first ZX, sees a new pair of heroes looking to make their own mark on history. With two overlapping stories each offering different perspectives, join Ashe or Grey as they discover who they are with a little help from Biometal Model A. Expanding on the first game, you won’t just gain new forms from defeated foes – you’ll be able to use “A-Trans” to copy their DNA and transform into bosses, gaining access to their unique abilities!

These games can be pretty intense. If you’re more the type that likes to sit back, relax, and enjoy a thrilling story, Casual Scenario Mode and Save-Assist have you covered. Casual Scenario Mode offers the same core gameplay experience, but powers up your character, gives you extra lives, and reduces the penalty of spikes and pits from instant death to taking damage instead. Save-Assist automatically saves your game mid-mission, giving you a point to restore from if things go wrong or if you’re looking to practice a difficult section or boss. Both Casual Scenario Mode and Save-Assist can be individually turned on and off for each game, putting the power of how you want to play in your hands.

“When an enemy appears… I’ll terminate it…”

All of that isn’t even counting additional features for modern consoles, including optional visual filters and multiple screen layouts for ZX and ZX Advent !

There’s a lot to look forward to when Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection brings all six of these great games and more to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, Nintendo Switch, and PC on January 21, 2020! Plus, if you pre-order the game, you’ll get the Reploid Remixies, an additional ten new in-game songs – one new stage remix in each of the six games, and four bonus Music Player tracks. We’ll have even more to share over the next few months, including information on the unique Z Chaser mode, so be sure to follow Mega Man on Twitter and Facebook for all the latest.

As an added bonus, if you’re attending PAX West, we’ll have all six games in the collection playable on the show floor, so be sure to stop by and check it out!

Ready your Long Swords and your Z-Sabers – and be sure to pack a hot drink or two – Capcom will be at PAX West with Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, the just-announced Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection, and other fun activities to check out in Seattle! Make plans to stop by the Capcom booth (#1102, Level 4), and read on for more info on what we’ll be bringing this year, including a couple of signing sessions and a Monster Hunter Fan Event!

Games

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC)

The massive expansion for the smash hit Monster Hunter: World drops September 6th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with the PC version coming January 2020! Swing over to the Capcom booth (#1102, Level 4) and join three other hunters to take on chilling quests against fearsome monsters. In addition to featuring a selection of monsters from previous demos, including the big-horned Banbaro and unstoppable Tigrex, we have a frozen treat for hunters looking for an even greater challenge: the frigid Velkhana is available to hunt for the first time in North America at PAX West! If you believe you have what it takes to bring this new monster down, you can be one of the first to stand against it at PAX West. As an added bonus, while supplies last, everyone who plays the demo will get an exclusive Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Pinny Arcade pin just for playing! These pins will only be available by playing the demo or trading with other show-goers, so be sure to stop by the booth and get a demo in early!

After you’ve finished your quest, don’t miss out on a picture with the Velkhana! We’ll have full-sized weapons from MHWI on hand to help immortalize your encounter as you face down this mythical wyvern using a special panoramic camera setup.  If you can’t wait to get into the action, Monster Hunter: World is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You’ll need to finish the main story to get access to the new story, area, and monsters, so now is a great time to get started or dive back in to get ready for the expansion!

Mega Man Zero / ZX Legacy Collection (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC)

Featuring all four Mega Man Zero games and both Mega Man ZX games in one collection, Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection brings six adventures to consoles and PC for the very first time, with some modern touches in tow. If you haven’t checked out Zero’s continued adventures after the events of the Mega Man X games before, now is the perfect time to see what you’ve been missing out on. Blast enemies away with a Buster, cut through enemies using Zero’s classic Z-Saber, and uncover a deep overarching storyline shines a light on events that happened long before Zero’s reawakening. With challenging stages and tough bosses, finishing each stage is its own reward!

Set hundreds of years after the Zero games, Mega Man ZX and ZX Advent sees the rise of new heroes looking to tell their own stories. Join Aile or Vent in ZX and Ashe or Gray in ZX Advent as they learn about their ability to Megamerge with unique artifacts known as Biometals, and begin to learn about who they really are in the grand scheme unfolding around them. You’ll also be able to check out additional filters and screen layouts, as well as the Casual Scenario Mode and Save-Assist features available for all six games, so be sure to check it out!

Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 (Nintendo Switch)

Marking the first time both of these games are available on a mobile platform, take both of these survival horror titles for a spin on Nintendo Switch at PAX West.

Highly regarded for its co-op gameplay, Resident Evil 5 puts you in the boots of Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar, a pair of highly trained B.S.A.A. agents seeking to prevent the sale of a bio-organic weapon who uncover a much larger plot as a result.

Resident Evil 6 follows various interconnected stories, bringing together fan-favorite characters such as Leon S. Kennedy and newcomers like Helena Harper. Travel the world and play each story solo or with a friend to unravel the full picture behind a sinister conspiracy that threatens the entire world. Both games will include all previously released DLC when they release later this year on Nintendo Switch, making it a great time to check out these favorites if you’re looking for co-op on-the-go or missed them the first time around.

E. Honda, Lucia and Poison Coming to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition on August 4th

Aug 01, 2019 // Kellen Haney

Three new characters are being added to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition – pushing the impressive roster to 38 fighters. The sumo wrestling E. Honda completes the starting lineup from the original Street Fighter II. Lucia Morgan, a detective from the Special Crimes Unit of the Metro City Police Department, steps up to the plate with her thick Metro City accent and red-hot kicks. And last, but definitely not least, Poison of Final Fight fame brings her cracking whip and striking style to SFV: AE .

These three new challengers are being added to Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition and will be available on August 4 th individually for MSRP $5.99 / €5.99 / £4.99 or 100,000 Fight Money. A “Summer 2019 Character Bundle” will be made available on August 5 th for MSRP $14.99 / €14.99 / £11.99  and will include all three new characters, in addition to each character’s Battle Costume and Default Colors 3-10. 

Read on to get the full inside scoop.

E. Honda

Wishing to educate the world on the long-term benefits of a relaxing soak in the tub, E. Honda is re-opening his popular bathhouse – Honda Sento. But as steadfast as his devotion is to all things hot and steamy, his number one passion will always be sumo wrestling. In this respect, Honda-san’s transition to SFV: AE is comprehensive. His Hundred Hand Slap still requires a precise pianoing of punch presses (this time, four rather than five) to let loose with the open palm assault. His Sumo Headbutt still hits like a speeding bullet train, while being susceptible to projectile pressure. And his Oicho Throw still makes him dangerous up-close. But far from a relic of the past, Honda’s formidable V-Skill and V-Triggers take his iconic fundamentals to the next level.

[V-Skill – Neko Damashi]

Honda’s V-Skill is a heavy-handed clap that negates single-hit projectiles. It can cancel into his special moves on block and hit. V-Skill into light Hundred Hand Slap, for instance, is a true block string and leaves Honda at frame advantage.

[V-Trigger 1 – Onigawara]

His V-Trigger unlocks a more potent version of the Sumo Headbutt, called Oni-Daikaku. It can combo from any normal attack, has one hit of armor on start-up and can cancel into a second headbutt called Oni-Muso. Oni-Daikaku can also be used to guard crush the opponent on a full charge.

[V-Trigger 2 – Tajikarao]

Honda’s V-Trigger 2 unlocks a running command grab with one hit of armor. The grab can hit raw or as part of a combo, with Honda slamming the opponent into the nearest corner, gaining frame advantage and removing the opponent’s ability to perform a back recovery. This makes it a particularly strong tool for oki.

Lucia

Having received a tip off from Haggar about a possible plot to take out Mayor Cody, Officer Morgan hits the streets of Metro City in search of answers. Her Gun Smoke command run lets her close the distance quickly with one of four follow-ups – the Rough Chase shoulder barge, Tornado Spinner juggle kicks, Cyclone Spinner anti-air and the Braking dead halt. She also has access to the Dragon Punch-style Hurricane Spinner, the Fire Spinner spinning back kick and flaming projectiles with unconventional flightpaths courtesy of Flipper Shot. All these specials are unsafe on-block unless timed meaty or spaced correctly, but thanks to her strong V-Triggers and a cancellable low forward that hits from afar, she has many ways to combo into them.

[V-Skill – Tap-Kick]

Lucia’s V-Skill is a multi-hitting kick that can be cancelled from most of her normal attacks and leaves her at advantage on hit. You just need to be mindful that it’s very unsafe on block.

[V-Trigger 1 – Burning Fight]

Her V-Trigger 1 enhances all her kick-based special moves, and when combined with her EX command run, can lead to some flashy and highly damaging combos. It also causes her V-Skill to score a knockdown on the final hit, leading to more oki opportunities.

[V-Trigger 2 – Weapon Fury]

Lucia’s V-Trigger 2 equips her trusty baton and unlocks Tactical Weapon. This move can be cancelled from all her normal attacks, is safe on block and can combo into all her special moves. Suffice to say, it’s tailor made for frame traps and extending combos.

Poison

Feeling down in the dumps after parting ways with her former partner-in-crime, Poison returns to Metro City in search of a new headliner for the wrestling federation. She’s received a whip upgrade compared to the short-range slapper she sported in Ultra Street Fighter 4 – this time she’s wielding a looping lasher with lasso-like range. Gone are the rekkas and chargeable projectiles, which are replaced by a refreshing mix of far-reaching normals that are easily buffered into her high kicking and whip whirling specials. And we haven’t even detailed her V-Skill and V-Triggers yet!

[V-Skill – Perfume Swing]

Poison’s V-Skill is a swinging strike that can travel one of two distances. It can be cancelled from some of her normal attacks and allows for a follow-up strike. It can also travel over most projectiles if spaced correctly.

[V-Trigger 1 – Poison Cocktail]

Her V-Trigger 1 gives her access to Molotov cocktails. These can be thrown either straight up or ahead and cause steady chip damage by setting the ground on fire. They’re useful for setups and combo extensions.

[V-Trigger 2 – Poison Glamor]

Poison’s V-Trigger 2 unlocks two commands grabs – Toxic Hold and Toxic Bind. The former does more stun and damage, but has limited range. The latter can hit from over half a screen away, but has more start-up and recovery frames. Both can be used mid-combo.

“Honda Sento” Bathhouse Stage

This stage should be instantly familiar to anyone who played Street Fighter II in the 90s. “Honda Sento” is a modern remake of E. Honda’s iconic bathhouse stage from Street Fighter II: The World Warrior. Blue tiled flooring, individual showers and a sumo-sized onsen – filled to the brim with piping hot water from a nearby hot spring. What better place to kick back and relax with a towel on your head after a hard day of fighting in the streets. The new “Honda Sento” stage can be yours on August 4 th for MSRP $3.99 / €3.99 / £3.29  or 70,000 Fight Money.

Free Trial (Season 3 Character Unlock) and Sale

Haven’t yet taken the time to pull off a Shoryuken or Hadoken in Street Fighter V? Well, why not try out the latest instalment in Capcom’s premier fighting game series for FREE! An all-new Free Trial on PlayStation 4 and Steam runs now through August 11 th . And for the first time ever, the 16 characters from the launch roster are joined by the 6 characters from Season 3… all playable for free! By our count, that’s 22 reasons to jump into the Free Trial and see what you’ve been missing! Sales on both platforms also run now through August 13 th , offering huge savings on in-game content in addition to 60% off Street Fighter V and 50% off Street Fighter V: Arcade Editio n.

Extra Battle: Cody (Vergil)

His opponents may cry when Cody goes to battle in this Vergil costume for SFV: AE. This Devil May Cry inspired costume for Cody and accompanying Vergil, Dante and Nero battle music will be available in Extra Battle mode from August 30 th through September 27 th.

Fighting Chance: M. Bison

Backed up by the Psycho Drive in the Street Fighter Alpha series, M. Bison was not only at the peak of his power, but he also sported one of his most dominant looks. This menacing outfit returns to SFV: AE on August 4 th in Fighting Chance!

This is a sumo-sized update, so go hit the streets and enjoy all of this new content in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition !

Zvarri! It’s time to reveal the Wright Anything Contest winners!

Jul 26, 2019 // Kellen Haney

Looking for the winners of our recent Ace Attorney competition? If so, you’ve come to the Wright place! The Wright Anything Competition spanned artwork, cosplay, and videos, and the community delivered; with well over one hundred entries, it was truly a challenge to narrow things down to six selections. Read on for our collection of winners, and a special message from Shu Takumi!

A team of panelists from the Capcom USA offices got together as our judge’s panel, and aside from picking our winners, there were a few entries that really stood out to us as well that we’ll be highlighting as honorable mentions. Without further ado, here are our prize winners for each category:

ARTWORK

Grand Prize: @ BIueWitch

We loved this piece for how well it represents the franchise as a whole, tying together each lawyer of the Wright Law Offic—er, Wright Anything Agency with the characters that help define their individual journeys. The eccentric personality of each character shines through, with small nods to the games like Apollo looking through his bracelet, Athena’s Mood Matrix, and Pearl star struck by Mystic Mia.

Runner-up Prize: @ sherrasama

This art stood out to us for how well it communicates the characters and their relation to each other in the original three games that marked the rise of Phoenix. You could mistake it for an ending screen from one of the games! The expressions really pop, too – this might be the happiest we’ve seen Gumshoe… ever! You can just imagine Phoenix hanging this up in his office and taking a trip down memory road each time he looks at it.

COSPLAY

Grand Prize: @ tweetaleet9

This wonderful rendition of the Prink Princess really stood out to our judge’s panel! Sal Manella would be proud of this dazzling character coming to life. You can clearly see the inspiration that Maya’s appearance brought to the overall design, and the careful details in the cherry blossom print make the entire costume feel very grounded and true-to-life while still capturing the essence of the Warrior of Little Olde Tokyo.

Runner-up Prize: @ Mellonbreadyum

Spirit of Justice marks the return of an older, wiser, and just a tiny bit more serious Maya. We really enjoyed how this cosplay accurately captures Maya’s appearance in SoJ , with lots of care taken to re-create her outfit down to some of the smallest details on her gloves, and even the parting of her hair.  You can really see her asking if you, too, have begun to walk the path of the Holy Mother… or maybe she’s just asking you to pick up a burger.

VIDEO

Grand Prize: @ Dandynote

We were blown away by this one-person band, even more so that the artist combines multiple themes from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney games into a single one-minute medley. Learning and playing multiple instruments is no simple task, and both the arrangement and the music were top-notch. This took some serious skills!

Runner-up Prize: @ AndrulunXY

This one-person skit nails what makes the Ace Attorney games fun, and even includes some Apollo and Judge cosplay to bring you into the courtroom. You get the entire roller coaster ride of an AA case in the span of one minute, complete with the Judge’s typical frustrations, Apollo’s typical reactions, and more. An endearing video that we enjoyed for how sincere and light-hearted it is.

Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 land on Nintendo Switch October 29th

Jul 16, 2019 // Kellen Haney

Looking for something to play while globetrotting, or are you more the staycation type? No matter what your travel plans look like, we’ve got you covered with Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 coming to the Nintendo Switch eShop on October 29 th ! Read on for more info, including the Resident Evil Triple Pack featuring RE 4, 5, and 6 coming to retail in North America.

Highly regarded for its co-op gameplay, Resident Evil 5 puts you in the shoes of two B.S.A.A. operatives: Resident Evil veteran Chris Redfield and newcomer Sheva Alomar. These two highly-trained agents will have their training and skills put to the test as they seek to prevent the sale of a bio-organic weapon and uncover a much larger, more sinister plot as a result. Together with your teammate, you’ll tackle a variety of locations across Africa and, thanks to the included Gold Edition content, you’ll even be able to take a trip down memory lane and experience events that unfolded before the events of RE5 as you explore a familiar mansion. Resident Evil 5 will be available on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $29.99 on October 29 th.

Taking place after the events of RE5, Resident Evil 6 follows various interconnected stories, bringing together fan-favorite characters like Leon S. Kennedy and newcomers such as Helena Harper. Travel the world and play each story solo or with a friend to unravel the full picture behind a sinister conspiracy that threatens the entire world. Resident Evil 6 also includes all previously released DLC, including additional content for the intense, arcade-style Mercenaries mode, and the unique Agent Hunt mode that flips the script and puts you in control of enemies in other player’s campaigns. Resident Evil 6 will be available on the Nintendo Switch eShop for $29.99 on October 29 th.

We also have a special bundle coming to North American retail – Resident Evil 4, Resident Evil 5, and Resident Evil 6 will all be included in the Resident Evil Triple Pack! This pack brings together all three games in one convenient place, with Resident Evil 4 on a cartridge and Resident Evil 5 and 6 included as a digital download voucher. You can grab this pack for $59.99 beginning October 29 th.

That’s all for now, but if you’re at San Diego Comic Con, swing by the Capcom booth (#215, Hall A) where you can get some hands-on time with a demo for both RE5 and RE6 on Nintendo Switch!

Capcom is bringing hunting and horror to San Diego Comic-Con 2019

Jul 11, 2019 // Kellen Haney

San Diego Comic-Con 2019 starts in just a few days, and Capcom will be bringing the latest and greatest for attendees to check out! It’s going to be hot out there this summer, but you’ll be able to stay cool with Monster Hunter World: Iceborne and lots more at the Capcom booth (#215, Hall A).

DEMOS

Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PC)
Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, the massive expansion for the smash hit Monster Hunter: World, drops September 6 th for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, with the PC version coming this winter! If you haven’t had the chance to get your hands on Iceborne ’s new locale via the online betas, swing over to the Capcom booth and join three other hunters to take on chilling quests against fearsome monsters. The two main quests featured at SDCC are “Hunt a Banbaro” and “Hunt a Tigrex,” both taking place in the all-new, expansive tundra of Hoarfrost Reach. Banbaro, a brand new monster for Iceborne , is capable of picking up a variety of objects from the environment (such as boulders and trees) and bulldozing them around with attacks that change in size depending on what been caught up in its horns. For seasoned veterans, the relentless Tigrex makes its return, ready to hit hunters with the full force of a runaway train. Don’t forget your Hot Drinks as you explore – you’ll need them to survive the chilly landscape, and you don’t want to run out of stamina against these fearsome foes.

Once you’ve finished your quest, be sure to take a picture with the adorable Palico stationed at the booth! It may be unseasonably dressed for summertime, but it’s perfectly equipped for exploring the frigid Hoarfrost Reach when Iceborne releases on September 6 th . If you can’t wait to get into the action, Monster Hunter: World is available now for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. You’ll need to finish the main story to get access to the new story, area, and monsters, so now is a great time to get started – or dive back in – and get ready for the expansion!

Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 (Nintendo Switch)

Announced at E3 earlier this year, Resident Evil 5 and Resident Evil 6 are coming to Nintendo Switch! Marking the first time both of these games are available on a mobile platform, these survival horror titles can be taken for a spin on Nintendo Switch at SDCC. Both games will include all previously released DLC when they release this fall on Nintendo Switch, making it a great time to check out these classics if you missed them the first time around, or just want some co-op play on-the-go.

Highly regarded for its co-op gameplay, Resident Evil 5 puts you in the boots of Chris Redfield and Sheva Alomar, a pair of highly trained B.S.A.A. agents seeking to prevent the sale of a bio-organic weapon and uncovering a much larger plot as a result.

Resident Evil 6 follows various interconnected stories, bringing together fan-favorite characters such as Leon S. Kennedy and newcomers like Helena Harper. Travel the world and play each story solo or with a friend to unravel the full picture behind a sinister conspiracy that threatens the entire world. Both games will include all previously released DLC when they release later this year on Nintendo Switch, making it a great time to check out these favorites if you’re looking for co-op on-the-go or missed them the first time around.

Get the hottest details on Glavenus, new Gathering Hub, and more in the MHW: Iceborne Developer Diary #1

Jul 11, 2019 // Yuri Araujo

Last month we dropped a bunch of cool Iceborne news, but also left you with some hints and teasers of what’s to come… now it’s time to pull back the curtains (or slash them in half) with some hot details on returning fan-favorite Glavenus, new subspecies Fulgur Anjanath and Ebony Odogaron, new and improved Gathering Hub features, the Squad Card system, and more. First, let’s take a look at the latest trailer that’s hot off the presses:

Okay, so I know you’re screaming at that Glavenus turf war—I wasn’t expecting anything like that either!—but we actually have a lot more to cover today, so take a deep breath and get ready for the spicy details.

I’ll leave you in the more than capable hands of developers Ryozo Tsujimoto, Kaname Fujioka and Daisuke Ichihara for a full Developer Diary video. If you’re looking for a quick digest on the new info, just check the list below the video.

New and improved Gathering Hub – the new hub of Seliana streamlines the flow of meeting up with other players and tending to all your pre-hunt necessities by adding quick access to facilities like the Smithy, Resource Center, Botanical Research Center, and Argosy.

Squad Cards and Sub-Leaders – new Squad functionality has been added to easily invite your friends and manage Squad members.

Customizing your new room – now you can change up furniture, various décor items, and even the wall texture of “Your Room” for a more personal touch! And… we’re planning to add a feature that allows you to invite friends to your room, in a post-launch update.

Meet the monsters – you’ll really want to watch the video for this one. The development team put a lot of thought into bringing back Glavenus as faithfully as possible, keeping its sword-like tail while giving it some new twists. They also show off extended gameplay of two newly confirmed subspecies—monster species that have evolved in different ways to adapt to new circumstances, often times gaining new elemental affinities and behavior tendencies. On the menu today, we have the electrifying Fulgur Anjanath and the more vicious than ever Ebony Odogaron!

As Ryozo-san mentioned in the video, we’ll have more info to share in August, but if you’re itching for more Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, be sure to come to San Diego Comic Con next week to play our demo and attend our Monster Hunter panel for more behind-the-scenes info! Monster Hunter World: Iceborne will release globally on PS4 and Xbox One on September 6, with a PC version coming this winter.

North America Regional Finals and Capcom Cup 2019 Details Announced

Jun 30, 2019 // Mike Larson

Hello World Warriors!

The 2019 Capcom Pro Tour season has been one of the most competitive in Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition yet and we’re excited to announce dates and details for the North American Regional Finals and Capcom Cup 2019.

This year’s NA Regional Finals takes place on November 16-17 at the HyperX Esports Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. Don’t forget, is the final of three all-new Super Premier Events introduced to CPT 2019.

The event will feature the open tournament, where players from all regions can compete for one last attempt at Global Leaderboard Points in order to qualify for Capcom Cup 2019. As has been tradition these last few years, eight of the top players from the North America region will compete for one of the final coveted Capcom Cup 2019 qualifying spots in the Regional Finals.

Capcom Cup 2019 returns to Southern California for three days of the best SFV:AE competition in the world on December 13-15. The Last Chance Qualifier returns to determine the final qualifying spot for Capcom Cup. From there, 32 of the best SFV:AE players in the world will battle it out in Los Angeles to be crowned the 2019 Capcom Cup Champion.

That’s not all. For the first time ever, we will be hosting the Street Fighter League World Finals. The champions of Street Fighter League: Pro-US 2019 and Street Fighter League: Pro-Japan 2019 will face off at Capcom Cup to determine which team is the best in the world!

Registration for both NA Regional Finals and Capcom Cup 2019 LCQ will open soon. Make sure you follow Capcom Fighters on  Twitter for  news  and updates.
