During the Nintendo Direct on February 5th, Capcom revealed major updates for its upcoming software lineup. The publisher announced that demos for PRAGMATA and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection are available now across multiple platforms. Capcom also showcased new gameplay for Resident Evil Requiem running on Nintendo Switch 2. To expand its collectibles line, the company unveiled a new Leon S. Kennedy amiibo figure.

PRAGMATA launches on April 24, 2026, for Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam. This new sci-fi IP follows spacefarer Hugh and android Diana as they escape a hostile lunar research station. Meanwhile, the turn-based RPG Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection arrives on March 13, 2026. This sequel tasks players with saving the land of Vermeil from ecological collapse. Finally, the survival horror title Resident Evil Requiem is set to release on February 27, 2026, for PC and all current consoles.

What We Can Expect

PRAGMATA: Experience a unique blend of hacking and shooting in a “Sketchbook” demo that encourages repeat playthroughs to find hidden features.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection: Forge bonds with Monsties in an expansive RPG featuring the new Wyvernsoul Gauge and Habitat Restoration systems.
Resident Evil Requiem: Navigate the terrifying ruins of Raccoon City with a dual-protagonist system featuring both first-person and third-person perspectives.

My Thoughts

I am genuinely excited about this Capcom lineup! Both PRAGMATA and Resident Evil Requiem have been on my must-play list for a while. Seeing Resident Evil Requiem running so smoothly on the Nintendo Switch 2 is a huge relief. The ability to switch between first and third-person perspectives at any time sounds like a game-changer for the series. Plus, the return to a devastated Raccoon City with Leon and new protagonist Grace Ashcroft brings back all the right survival horror vibes.

PRAGMATA also continues to look like a standout new IP. The “single-player co-op” dynamic between Hugh and Diana is such a unique concept. I love that the gameplay focuses on a mix of tactical hacking and weighty combat rather than just mindless shooting. Even Monster Hunter Stories 3 is catching my eye with its new Habitat Restoration mechanics. It is refreshing to see a series move toward preserving ecosystems rather than just hunting. Capcom is definitely hitting its stride as we move into the second half of the decade!
