The company’s showcase comes just days after Capcom hosted its own game showcase on June 26. Capcom Spotlight highlights detailed look at Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata.
Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth major entry in the survival horror series, was announced at the Summer Games Festival earlier this month, with several other developers and publishers also revealing their next projects.
June also hosted game showcase events from platform holders Sony and Microsoft. At the PlayStation State of Play, Arc System Works announced its next fighting game, Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, and Koei Tecmo announced Nioh 3. At the Xbox Games Showcase, Microsoft announced the next Call of Duty and launched the first Xbox-branded gaming handheld.
