Capcom is in a period of aggressive franchise expansion, with the Onimusha revival launching September 4, Street Fighter League JAPAN 2026 beginning August 25, and a Resident Evil 30th anniversary exhibition opening October 30. The company also reports record fiscal year 2026 sales driven by repeat titles.
Capcom's recent output centers on reviving dormant franchises and extending the commercial life of established ones. The clearest example is Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the first new mainline entry in about 20 years. Capcom moved its release date up from September 25 to September 4, launched a nine-part character video series narrated by the Oni no Kajin, and held a hands-on event that emphasized an accessible demo while promising tougher full-game content. The game launches on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, Switch 2, and PC.
Beyond Onimusha, Capcom is building out physical and competitive spaces. CAPCOMIX Minato Mirai opened in Yokohama, and Street Fighter League JAPAN 2026 begins August 25 with 12 teams, including new entrant Riddle Order. Vspo! returns as support ambassador for a second year, expanding to five talents. The Resident Evil 30th anniversary exhibition runs from October 30 to December 24 in Shibuya, described as the world's first large-scale show for the series.
Commercially, Capcom reported record fiscal year 2026 sales, with repeat titles accounting for 83.7% of total sales. Devil May Cry 5 sold 2.7 million units in the year, boosted by the Netflix anime. Street Fighter 6 continues its Year 4 rollout with character Yasmin, and Monster Hunter Stories 3 receives ongoing DLC. Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen launches October 9.

His moves use yoga breathing techniques, including projectiles, rock-based attacks, a counter stance, and a command grab that converts gray health to real damage.

To mark the collaboration, Capcom published a special three-chapter manga titled Onimusha wa Gekiteki da yo!, following Hinoe and Yomogi as they visit the Kyoto of Onimusha: Way of the Sword.

The game is set in early Edo period Kyoto, where the demonic Genma have spread miasma, and follows Miyamoto Musashi, modeled on Toshiro Mifune, who gains the Oni Gauntlet and fights the invaders. Combat keeps the series' parry, repel, and Issen counter moves and adds a new Kuzushi Issen against enemies with broken stance. The standard edition costs 8,990 yen, the deluxe edition 9,990 yen, and the premium deluxe edition 10,990 yen, with a CERO Z rating for players 18 and older. Reviews were strong at launch: Metacritic scores at the time of writing were 89 for the Switch 2 version, 86 for PS5, 83 for Xbox Series X, and 82 for PC, with critics praising the combat and questioning the open-world elements.

The demo has surpassed 2 million downloads, with over 10 million Issen executions recorded.
Capcom will release Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen on October 9, 2026. Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi, Naoto Oyama, and director Kento Kinoshita discussed the DLC in an interview.

The Raishogan battle at Yasui Konpira-gu stood out for its variety of attacks and clear countermeasures, including cutting bond threads with a bow to weaken the boss. The Switch 2 version supports Joy-Con 2 motion controls for one-handed and two-handed attacks. The demo's difficulty was intentionally accessible, but the full game includes stronger enemies and more complex attack patterns.
