Capcom Spotlight

Capcom’s been busy, and during their latest Capcom Spotlight, they came out swinging with updates on three highly anticipated titles. From a return to Raccoon City, to a haunting lunar adventure, and finally, a look at the wildest hunt yet — here’s a quick breakdown of everything that went down:

Resident Evil Requiem – Back to Raccoon City, Again

Coming February 27, 2026, Resident Evil Requiem is the ninth mainline title in the legendary survival horror franchise — and it’s shaping up to be one of the most immersive entries yet.

Developed using Capcom’s RE ENGINE, Requiem puts players back in the middle of Raccoon City, mixing the haunting atmosphere of psychological horror with the series’ signature action. What’s new this time around? A real-time switch between first-person and third-person views, a fresh new lead named Grace Ashcroft, and a central theme focused on what the devs call “addictive fear.”

Capcom also released a video message from the dev team along with brand-new gameplay footage — so if you’re itching to see the game in action, check it out here.

Launching on: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam
Release Date: February 27, 2026

PRAGMATA – A Sci-Fi Mystery Wrapped in Puzzles and Action

Originally teased a while back, Capcom finally gave us a much deeper look at PRAGMATA, their all-new sci-fi action-adventure title now slated for release in 2026.

Set in a mysterious lunar facility, the game follows the story of Hugh Williams, a systems auditor turned survivor, and Diana, an android girl crafted entirely from “Lunafilament” — a moon-mined material that can replicate matter.

Gameplay is a mix of third-person gunplay and puzzle-based hacking mechanics. You’ll switch between shooting enemies as Hugh and controlling Diana as she hacks into security systems and enemy bots. The hacking system even features a minigame where players must draw paths to break armor and expose enemy weak points.

The two protagonists have to navigate eerie 3D-printed environments, solve puzzles, and figure out how to escape the moon after a lunar quake wrecks the facility. Think of it as Capcom’s answer to Dead Space meets Portal, but with its own surreal, tech-driven twist.

Monster Hunter Wilds – Wild, Wiser, and More Cinematic Than Ever

Capcom capped things off with fresh updates on Monster Hunter Wilds, the next evolution in the Monster Hunter series — and it’s living up to the hype.

This time, it’s all about deeper world storytelling and a more emotionally involved experience. Returning characters like Alma, Gemma, and Nata will appear as part of a fully voiced story (with facial animations and expressive cutscenes — even during quests).

Players can expect:

  • A seamless open world with shifting weather and ecosystems
  • New monsters with smarter AI
  • Enhanced traversal mechanics
  • And more co-op moments that feel cinematic, not chaotic

Monster Hunter Wilds will also be part of the Capcom showcase at gamescom 2025.

Release Window: 2025
Platforms: PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC via Steam

Let me know if you’d like shorter versions for social or a recap fit for a script.

IKEA, Xbox launch nine-piece YXSTABY gaming collection

Gaming inspired furniture

Gaming setups don’t have to look like dedicated gaming rooms. IKEA and Xbox are making that easier with their new YXSTABY collection.

The nine-piece collection combines IKEA’s furniture design expertise with Xbox’s understanding of gaming. It brings together functional furniture and playful accessories inspired by Xbox controllers.

IKEA launched the collection in the Philippines on November 4 at its Pasay showroom. The event featured interactive room setups that demonstrated how the furniture fits into everyday homes.

The launch also included a cosplay runway inspired by IKEA’s iconic blue and yellow FRAKTA bag. Guests explored immersive gaming stations and experienced the collection firsthand.

Gaming furniture designed for everyday homes

YXSTABY addresses the challenges of fitting gaming setups into shared living spaces. Its furniture supports different gaming positions while keeping accessories organized.

The gaming lounge chair accommodates both forward-leaning gameplay and relaxed reclining positions. A rolling side table keeps gaming accessories within reach.

The collection also includes flexible storage for cables and accessories. Its felt inserts protect stored items, while its foldable design doubles as a laptop stand.

Families can also move their gaming setups between rooms. A TV stand with castors makes it easier to relocate equipment without dedicating an entire room to gaming.

Xbox controller-inspired accessories

Xbox’s influence extends beyond the collection’s gaming furniture. Several accessories take inspiration from familiar controller elements.

The Gaming D-pad cushion recreates the controller’s distinctive directional button. A stainless steel platter also borrows its design from the D-pad.

Another standout is the tilting thumbstick stool, which takes inspiration from an Xbox controller’s analog stick. A mirrored display box gives collectors a dedicated space for controllers and other gaming memorabilia.

Bringing gaming into Filipino homes

IKEA Philippines Sales Leader May Castillo highlighted the collection’s relevance to local households.

She pointed to the Philippines’ strong gaming culture and the country’s high engagement with video games across different devices.

IKEA Philippines Selling Manager Sarah Cox said the collection draws inspiration from Xbox controllers and how gamers actually play. It also incorporates IKEA’s playful approach to furniture design.

The collaboration brings together two brands with different strengths. IKEA understands how people use their living spaces, while Xbox understands what players need from their gaming setups.

The result is furniture that makes gaming more convenient without making the rest of the home feel like a gaming room.
