We have already known for a while that Capcom will be one of the headliners for the upcoming Gamescom Asia 2024 show in October, but now, the Japanese gaming giant has shown its full hand for what’s coming, and fans are set to be thoroughly entertained when the gates are finally thrown open.
The biggest draw will undoubtedly be the arrival of Monster Hunter Wilds, which will be playable for the first time ever in Southeast Asia to the public. If you have been keeping up with the constant stream of info drops from Capcom, you would know that the game is shaping up to be a transformative one for the series, and with the release set for 2025, getting such early hands-on time will hopefully amp up the excitement even more.
Furthermore, visitors to the Capcom booth at Gamescom Asia 2024 can also step into the boots of Frank West, esteemed photojournalist, in Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Remastered with Capcom’s RE ENGINE, this will be the definitive way to enjoy the 2006 classic, which delivered a fresh take on the zombie genre with incredible action, over-the-top combat, tons of weapon choices, wacky costumes, and a comedic yet compelling storyline.
There’s also Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess for those yet to experience this unique blend of genres at the show.. Visitors can experience the thrills of its unique Kagura Action Strategy, rescuing villagers and restoring peace along with the Maiden of the mountain, Yoshiro, by purging the defilement that infects their land on Mt. Kafuku.
If fighting is more your thing, then Marvel vs Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics is where you must spend your time. The game includes seven timeless games born from collaboration between Marvel and Capcom in an all-in-one package, and we are sure the lines will be long and winding for those hoping to prove their mettle against their fellow visitors.
Following in that vein, the arrival of Fatal Fury‘s Terry Bogard in Street Fighter 6 have certainly liven things up, and if you haven’t had the chance to unleash the power of the Legendary Hungry Wolf, you can certainly do so at the Capcom booth at Gamescom Asia 2024 before making the decision if you want to add him to the roster.
Then there is the small matter of the Capcom Pro Tour 2024 Super Premier Singapore taking place on the show floor at Gamescom Asia 2024. Witness Street Fighter 6 players from around the world gather to compete for chances to qualify for Capcom Cup 11 in Japan, with the champion walking away with a grand prize of US$1 million USD. Registrations are still open.
Gamescom Asia 2024 will be the fourth edition of the premier business and consumer event, and it will be happening from October 17 to 20.
