Capcom Spotlight TGS 2026: Everything Revealed

After sitting through Nintendo's recent Directs and Sony's State of Play, I went into the TGS 2026 Capcom Spotlight wondering whether Capcom would finally have something completely unexpected for us.

I was secretly hoping for Ace Attorney. That didn't happen.

There wasn't a brand-new game announcement either, but I don't think the showcase needed one to be interesting. Capcom had plenty of updates to go through, including a much closer look at Mega Man Dual Override, six Resident Evil games coming to Nintendo Switch 2, another look at Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, and, eventually, a pretty substantial Monster Hunter Wilds: Ascendance presentation.

The Monster Hunter segment ended up taking most of my attention, but there were a few other announcements that stood out along the way.

Here's everything Capcom showed at TGS 2026, along with what I thought about each reveal.

Mega Man Dual Override Gets More Details on Proto Man

The first game Capcom showed was Mega Man Dual Override, and this was probably the point where I became more interested in the game than I was before the presentation. The big focus was Proto Man, who is confirmed as a playable character alongside Mega Man.

That isn't simply a cosmetic character swap, either. Mega Man retains the familiar ranged combat you'd expect from the series, while Proto Man is built more around close-range attacks. The comparison to Zero from Mega Man X makes sense from what Capcom showed.

There's also a chip system with more than 50 upgrades, allowing you to change different aspects of your character and weapons. Some are relatively small improvements, while others can fundamentally alter how a weapon behaves.

I particularly liked the idea of being able to experiment with these upgrades rather than simply unlocking a stronger version of the same weapon.

The Robot Masters remain central to progression, with defeated bosses providing new abilities to use against other enemies.

Capcom also showed Twinkle Girl, a Robot Master with a magical-girl-inspired design and attacks. It looks like Capcom is having some fun with the bosses this time around.

Mega Man Dual Override launches in Spring 2027.

Pragmata Gets Free Mega Man and Roll Costumes

Pragmata didn't get a huge gameplay update, but Capcom did have something nice for people who already own the game or have been waiting to play it.

Mega Man and Roll-inspired outfits are being added for the game's protagonists, and they're free.

I'm always happier when these kinds of crossover costumes are actually given to players rather than being locked behind another purchase, particularly when they're essentially a celebration of Capcom's own history.

The game is also getting its first discount across most marketplaces, so this feels like Capcom's way of giving Pragmata another push rather than announcing substantial new content.

Six Resident Evil Games Are Coming to Nintendo Switch 2

This was one of the announcements I imagine Nintendo Switch 2 owners were paying close attention to.

Capcom confirmed six Resident Evil games for Switch 2:

Resident Evil 2
Resident Evil 3
Resident Evil 4 Remake
Resident Evil 7: Biohazard
Resident Evil Village
Resident Evil Requiem

That's a pretty significant chunk of the modern Resident Evil catalogue arriving on one console.

What stood out to me here isn't just the number of games. It's the fact that Nintendo players will be able to experience several generations of the modern Resident Evil formula on the same hardware.

And with Resident Evil Requiem joining them, Switch 2 is becoming a much more interesting place to play the franchise.

Capcom also mentioned projects being developed for the series' 30th anniversary, although we didn't get any major details about those during this presentation.

Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen Adds New Dungeons and a Character Creator

Next up was Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, and Capcom gave us a better look at what this expanded version is bringing to the game.

The biggest additions include Forsaken Dominion, where players will uncover the secrets surrounding the undying dragon, alongside 12 new dungeons featuring new enemies and threats.

There's also an expanded character creator, giving players more ways to customise both their Arisen and Pawn.

One feature I found particularly interesting is the addition of official Pawns created by creators and celebrities. More of these will apparently be added over time, which should give the Pawn system a little more personality.

Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen launches on October 6.
