Broken into two eagerly anticipated events, Capcom Highlights showcased what the game publisher has been busy cooking up for Xbox fans. The results look compelling across the board — particularly for fans of action-adventure titles Capcom has become famous for — with new details for Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Dragon’s Dogma 2, Exoprimal, and Street Fighter 6.
Capcom Highlights, for those who don’t know, is a worldwide online event that is different from Capcom Showcase, where they announce new details about their upcoming games, and deliver the latest news from Capcom to Xbox fans across the globe.
Catch up on all the news below:
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
This single-player, mystical action-strategy game is Capcom’s newest franchise. Its unique setting is surreal and at times psychedelic, full of wild enemy designs and kinetic, particle effect-filled actions. The game is set on a cursed mountain called Mt. Kafuku, where players will take the role of Soh with the goal of cleansing the mountain of corruption and restoring peace to the villages.
Rendered with beautifully modulated lighting effects, dynamic day and night cycles are essential to the experience. During the light of day, Soh joins forces with the rescued villagers to strategize and prepare for impending battles; come nightfall, Soh, along with the Maiden Yoshiro and the villagers, confront the embodiment of defilement on Mt. Kafuku, the Seethe. Soh wields a sword and fights the Seethe in a style reminiscent of a Shinto dance known as Kagura, as well as unleash the immense power within the sword’s Tsuba guards. The player must also constantly adapt to dynamic battle conditions, and take advantage of the different villager roles in order to protect the Maiden and cleanse the mountain of its curse: woodcutters, archers and ascetics are at the ready, altogether providing a nice combination of support abilities and raw strength and skill. You can learn even more about Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess here on Xbox Wire from our recent Xbox Partner Preview broadcast.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is powered by Capcom’s acclaimed RE Engine and will be available day one with Xbox Game Pass for console, PC, and Cloud, as well as on Xbox Series X|S and Windows.
Dragon’s Dogma 2
Director Hideaki Itsuno and Producer Yoshiaki Hirabayashi were on hand to explain some exciting announcements surrounding the release of their upcoming title, Dragon’s Dogma 2. Players will be able to party up with as many as three AI-driven “Pawn” characters; the decisions the player makes throughout the game will impact the relationships between their own Arisen and other characters, as well as the interactions and dynamics between those AI characters. How one tackles quest objectives and interactions with other characters is what drives these systems, and sometimes hinges on the player’s ability to employ creative solutions to avoid physical altercations (think: bribery, counterfeiting objects, etc). In a world comprised of over 1000 unique characters, the player’s choices will have a dramatic ripple effect on the interpersonal dynamics among them.
Additionally, Itsuno and Hirabayashi showed the Dragon’s Dogma 2 Character Creator and Storage tool. Available for free to download now on the Xbox Store, the tool provides players the option to create up to five unique designs for their Arisen and Main Pawn characters each, and will be instantly transferred to the full game when Dragon’s Dogma 2 drops on March 22 for Xbox Series X|S — the game is also currently available for pre-order here on the Xbox Store. The company plans to release official Capcom support Pawns created by renowned content creators in the near future as well.
Exoprimal
Exoprimal is Capcom’s popular third-personal dinosaur shooter, and a new update — dubbed Title Update 4 — is coming next month. This newest free content drop is a big one, including two new game modes and six additional Exosuit Beta variants for players to equip. The coming season will also include an unexpected but welcome Mega Man crossover, complete with a new boss battle and a grip of Mega Man-themed cosmetics.
The new modes sound Intriguing for sure: “Time Loop Rebellion” is a co-op challenge, where ten players take on the game’s final boss, the Behemoth, in an expanded, even more fearsome form. Players can earn new rewards, including (but not limited to) golden “first class” Exosuit skins. The other new mode, dubbed simply “Custom Match,” lets players create their own lobbies and select their map and mission type(s), à la carte. These custom rooms can be shared cross-platform, thereby expanding the opportunities for cooperative hijinks. There’s even a new setting thrown in for good measure, called “Quick Brawl”; here, Exofighters can jump straight into their favorite final missions, including the more PvP-focused varieties.
As mentioned, six brand new Beta variant Exosuits will be available in the update as well, boosting the total to thirty. And you’ll be suiting up soon, as Exoprimal Title Update 4 is slated to drop on April 17th.
Street Fighter 6
Last but not least, Capcom unveiled a little something to excite the Street Fighter heads. Shown off in the form of a blistering teaser trailer, the publisher announced that fan-favorite demon Akuma will be coming to its top-tier fighting game, Street Fighter 6. The legendary Akuma will be available in Battle Hub, Fighting Ground, as well as World Tour mode, with new missions and a unique area to boot. While no specific release date was given, Capcom says he’s on track to release sometime this Spring.

CAPCOM CO., LTD.
$59.99
$29.99
PC Game Pass
Xbox Game Pass
Exoprimal is an online, team-based action game that pits humanity’s cutting-edge exosuit technology against history’s most ferocious beasts – dinosaurs.
Exosuits are grouped into different roles, and players will pilot these exosuits to hold firm against overwhelming dinosaur swarms in online-only, team-based action game modes.
Dino Survival, the main game mode, sees two teams of five players compete in a variety of PvE and PvP missions.
Players will be transported to the scene of the latest dinosaur outbreak and follow Leviathan’s guidance to complete objectives. The team that completes the mission first will emerge victorious.
Whether players are engaging the other team directly, or fighting alongside them against a common enemy, the aim is to accomplish objectives as quickly as possible. Missions vary depending on player skill and other factors, meaning no two matches will unfold the same way.
