The 30-minute broadcast will cover three of the studio&#8217;s most anticipated releases in one go: Dragon&#8217;s Dogma II: Dark Arisen, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection.<\/p>\n<figure class=\"gt-video\">\n<div style=\"position:relative;padding-bottom:56.25%;height:0;overflow:hidden;\"><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/83jOJWyE-eY\" title=\"Onimusha: Way of the Sword - Announce Trailer\" loading=\"lazy\" style=\"position:absolute;top:0;left:0;width:100%;height:100%;border:0;\" allow=\"accelerometer;clipboard-write;encrypted-media;gyroscope;picture-in-picture;web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div><figcaption>Onimusha: Way of the Sword \u2014 Announce Trailer via Official Capcom Europe on YouTube<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h2>What Is the Capcom Spotlight?<\/h2>\n<p>Capcom&#8217;s Spotlight format is a focused, developer-led showcase dedicated exclusively to the studio&#8217;s own lineup \u2014 no third-party filler, no lengthy conference formalities. The June 25 edition is the <em>second<\/em> Capcom Spotlight of 2026, following a March broadcast that featured early looks at Monster Hunter Stories 3, Onimusha, and several other titles. The upcoming show runs roughly 30 minutes and streams live on Capcom&#8217;s official YouTube channel in both English and Japanese. A replay goes up immediately after, so no excuses for missing the news.<\/p>\n<h2>Three Games Confirmed for the Capcom Spotlight June 25<\/h2>\n<h3>Dragon&#8217;s Dogma II: Dark Arisen \u2014 Coming to Nintendo Switch 2 on 9 October<\/h3>\n<p>Confirmed at the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendo.com\/us\/whatsnew\/nintendo-direct-unveils-new-games-and-updates-for-nintendo-switch-2-and-nintendo-switch-including-the-legend-of-zelda-ocarina-of-time-kingdom-hearts-iv-xenoblade-genesis-and-more\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">June 9 Nintendo Direct<\/a>, this definitive expansion to Capcom&#8217;s 2024 open-world action RPG arrives on Nintendo Switch 2 and PS5 on <strong>9 October 2026<\/strong>. The Switch 2 package bundles the complete base game alongside the new <em>Dark Arisen<\/em> expansion \u2014 a new frozen northern region called the Forsaken Dominion, plus a story centred on the enigmatic Eir and an emergent Fallen Dragon. If you missed Dragon&#8217;s Dogma II in 2024, this is the definitive way in. The Spotlight should give us our first extended look at the Switch 2 build&#8217;s performance and any remaining Dark Arisen story details.<\/p>\n<figure><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dragons-dogma-2-dark-arisen-switch2.jpg?w=474&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Dragon's Dogma II Dark Arisen key art for Nintendo Switch 2\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"><figcaption>Image courtesy of Capcom<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<h3>Onimusha: Way of the Sword \u2014 Arriving 25 September<\/h3>\n<p>The beloved samurai action series makes its long-awaited comeback after a 20-year absence. Set in early Edo-period Kyoto, <em>Way of the Sword<\/em> puts players in the role of Miyamoto Musashi as he battles Genma demons \u2014 with the rival swordsman Sasaki Ganryu appearing as a key antagonist. A playable demo has been available through PlayStation&#8217;s State of Play showcase earlier this year. The full game launches on PS5 and Xbox Series X|S on <strong>25 September 2026<\/strong>. Expect the Spotlight to deliver fresh gameplay footage or a story trailer with new details ahead of that date.<\/p>\n<h3>Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection \u2014 Post-Launch Content on the Way?<\/h3>\n<p>MH Stories 3 arrived on 13 March 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC, winning over both JRPG veterans and Monster Hunter fans with its turn-based Kinship system and deep Monstie bond mechanics. Three months out from launch, the Spotlight slot is a natural home for post-launch announcements \u2014 new Monstie species, story chapter expansions, or paid DLC content. Nothing has been confirmed in advance for this segment, so expect the most likely surprise of the three.<\/p>\n<h2>When and How to Watch from Singapore<\/h2>\n<p>The Capcom Spotlight June 25 broadcast goes live at <strong>2:00 PM PDT \/ 5:00 PM EDT on 25 June<\/strong> \u2014 which translates to <strong>Friday, 26 June at 5:00 AM SGT<\/strong>. Early, yes, but Capcom will have the full replay available on their official YouTube channel immediately after broadcast. No need to set a 5am alarm unless you want to be first in the comments. We&#8217;ll be following the show and will have a full breakdown across our <a href=\"\/blog\/category\/game-news\/\">Game News<\/a> section once announcements land.\n<\/p>\n<h2>Last words<\/h2>\n<p>Singapore has always been strong Capcom territory \u2014 Monster Hunter launch queues at local game shops are a tradition at this point, and Dragon&#8217;s Dogma II&#8217;s Switch 2 debut has been a genuine talking point since it landed at the June 9 Direct. A focused, 30-minute show dedicated to DD2, Onimusha, and MH Stories 3 is exactly the kind of mid-year update that tells us what to budget for in Q3 and Q4 2026. Set a reminder, or let us do the watching for you \u2014 either way, we&#8217;ve got you covered.\n<\/p>\n<p><!--GT-SCOUT source=\"Web (English)\" theme=\"Video games\" flags=\"none\"--><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Capcom Spotlight returns on 25 June with Dragon&#8217;s Dogma II: Dark Arisen, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and Monster Hunter Stories 3 on the confirmed lineup.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":4029,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":[]},"categories":[11],"tags":[85,410,367,45,75],"class_list":["post-4031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-game-news","tag-capcom","tag-dragons-dogma","tag-monster-hunter","tag-nintendo-switch-2","tag-onimusha"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/capcom-spotlight-june-2026.jpg?fit=1920%2C1080&ssl=1","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p13AlF-131","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":4183,"url":"https:\/\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/capcom-spotlight-june-2026-recap\/","url_meta":{"origin":4031,"position":0},"title":"Capcom Spotlight June 2026 Recap: Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 Expansion, Onimusha Release Date, MH Stories 3 DLC","date":"June 25, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"The Capcom Spotlight June 2026 delivered three big updates: Dragon\u2019s Dogma 2 Dark Arisen expands to Switch 2 on 9 October, Onimusha Way of the Sword locks in 25 September, and Monster Hunter Stories 3 gets a Rudy DLC.","rel":"","context":"In &quot;Game News&quot;","img":{"alt_text":"","src":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/06\/dd2-dark-arisen-screenshot.jpg?fit=1200%2C675&ssl=1&resize=350%2C200","width":350,"height":200},"classes":[]},{"id":6305,"url":"https:\/\/www.gametrader.sg\/blog\/onimusha-way-of-the-sword-september-4-2026\/","url_meta":{"origin":4031,"position":1},"title":"Onimusha: Way of the Sword Arrives 4 September \u2014 Three Weeks Earlier Than Planned","date":"July 23, 2026","format":false,"excerpt":"Capcom has moved Onimusha: Way of the Sword to 4 September 2026 \u2014 three weeks ahead of the original date.
