Capcom is hosting a stream next week during Tokyo Game Show that is set to give new details on a number of titles, and possibly reveal the next Monster Hunter.

Capcom has had a banger of a year so far with Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil 4 remake being certified game of the year contenders, as well as the launch of the surprisingly fun Exoprimal. It looks like the trend will continue as Resident Evil 4's Separate Ways DLC is launching this week after being announced last week, with the likes of Dragon's Dogma 2 and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy set to arrive in the near future.

As a part of Tokyo Game Show 2023 Capcom announced on it's website that the company is is hosting a stream set to show off some of these titles with Dragon's Dogma 2 and Resident Evil 4 VR Mode seemingly taking the headline spot.

Capcom hasn't confirmed how long the stream will last, but based on the other two Capcom streams earlier this year we'd expect it to be around the 30 minute mark.

What to expect from the Capcom Tokyo Game Show 2023 showcase

So far Capcom has officially confirmed that Dragon's Dogma 2, Resident Evil 4 remake's Seperate Ways and VR expansions, Apollo Justice Ace Attorney Trilogy, Street Fighter 6, and Exoprimal will feature in the stream. We'd expect Dragon's Dogma 2 and Ace Attorney to get release dates during the show, with a look at Street Fighter 6's A.K.I. DLC which releases next week.

However, one of the biggest rumours going into Tokyo Game Show is that we'll see Monster Hunter 6 revealed. To recap, an earnings report revealed that Capcom is planning to release an unannounced title by March 2024, and that it expects the title to 'Sell Millions'.

While Capcom have a number of franchises that could easily sell millions like Resident Evil and Street Fighter, both of those have had big releases this year so a new one is unlikely. Devil May Cry series director Hideaki Itsuno is working on Dragon's Dogma 2, so that's probably out too. Monster Hunter World and Monster Hunter Rise are Capcom's number one and two highest selling games of all time so it wouldn't be a stretch to estimate them selling millions.

It's also worth noting that Monster Hunter Rise was revealed in September 2020 before releasing in March 2021, so there is precedent for the series having a short reveal-to-release time. We'll know for sure this week.
