Capcom packed a lot into its March 2026 Capcom Spotlight. PRAGMATA got an earlier release date, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection dropped two new trailers with DLC details, and Mega Man showed up twice. Street Fighter 6 finally got Alex, Resident Evil started its 30th anniversary celebrations, and Capcom opened a new storefront. It was a busy show. Here's everything that came out of it.
PRAGMATA Moves Up to April 17
If you've been waiting on PRAGMATA, the wait just got a little shorter. The sci-fi action-adventure is now launching on April 17, 2026, one week earlier than previously announced. It's coming to PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
The new trailer showed off parts of the lunar setting that haven't been seen before. That includes the surface of the moon and a greenhouse-like sector inside the station, both with new enemies to deal with. The Shelter base of operations also got more detail. A support robot named Cabin manages several functions there, including a stamp club where you exchange coins for rewards, a jukebox for changing the background music, and a space to equip cosmetic items. It's shaping up to be a game with a lot going on outside the main action.
Pre-orders are live and include a samurai-themed outfit for Hugh and a ninja-inspired costume for Diana. The PRAGMATA Sketchbook demo is also out now on PlayStation Store, Nintendo eShop, Xbox Store, and Steam if you want to try it before April.
Monster Hunter Stories 3 Is Almost Here
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection launches March 13, and Capcom released two trailers to build into the launch. The Launch Trailer covers the story. A separate animated trailer goes deeper into the protagonist's backstory before the events of the game, and Capcom says a full anime trailer is still coming.
A trial version is available now. You can play through the opening chapter and carry your save data into the full game at launch. Linking save data from select Monster Hunter titles unlocks layered armor bonuses. Connecting a CAPCOM ID gets you the Catcom Work outfit for Rudy.
On launch day, the Gold Circlet accessory and Simon's Wind Wyvern's Friend layered armor unlock as free day-one DLC. Pre-ordering adds Eleanor: Skyscale Queen layered armor. Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is coming to Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam.
Mega Man Shows Up Twice
Mega Man: Dual Override had a boss design contest update. Capcom started with nearly 10,000 fan submissions and cut it down to 20 contenders. The top six designs based on fan votes were revealed during the Capcom Spotlight. The development team still needs to pick the final winner. Seven other Robot Masters were also shown in silhouette, which is a nice tease. Mega Man: Dual Override is targeting 2027 for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.
Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection also got a proper look at its online features. All seven Mega Man Star Force games are included, with worldwide card trading, casual and ranked matches, friend lobbies, and a Brother List that now supports up to 100 people per game. That's up from a maximum of six in the originals, which is a pretty significant bump. The collection launches March 27, 2026 on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC via Steam. Pre-orders include four bonus music arrangements and two extra character models. Episodes from the Mega Man Star Force anime are also free to watch on YouTube right now if you want to get into it ahead of launch.

| Cleanser Man is one of the top six fan-designed Robot Masters in the running for Mega Man: Dual Override and honestly, it's a pretty solid concept. |
Alex Finally Makes It Into Street Fighter 6
Alex is in Street Fighter 6. He launches March 17 alongside Dee Jay and Elena's Outfit 4. The interesting detail here is that pro wrestler Kenny Omega helped with the motion capture for Alex's wrestling moves, walk-out sequences, and Super Arts. That's a fun crossover and it shows in how the character moves. JAM Project also contributed an original track called Go! Alex! Hope is Born! to the soundtrack. The Alex Arrives! Fighting Pass is live now.
The Capcom Spotlight also gave a brief look at the upcoming live-action Street Fighter film. A longer behind-the-scenes preview is coming at Capcom Cup 12, running March 11 to March 15 in Tokyo. The film is set for theatres on October 16, 2026.
Resident Evil Hits 30
Resident Evil turns 30 on March 22, 2026, and Capcom has things lined up throughout the year to mark it. Universal Studios Japan is celebrating its own 25th anniversary at the same time and is putting together a new collaboration based on Resident Evil Requiem. Tickets for the Resident Evil 30th Anniversary Concerts orchestral performances are on sale now. A new arcade game based on Resident Evil 2 is also in the works, built around a shooting format with air jets and floor vibration to make sure you feel every hit. Thirty years of Resident Evil is genuinely worth celebrating, and it sounds like Capcom is taking it seriously.
Capcom Town Store Is Open
Capcom also launched the Capcom Town Store, which sells PC versions of Capcom titles at a discount. PRAGMATA, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, Resident Evil Requiem, and Monster Hunter Wilds are all in there. Classic titles including the original Mega Man and Street Fighter II: The World Warrior are now playable through Capcom Town on mobile as well. A limited-time 10% discount is available on select titles at launch using a CAPCOM ID.
