How to watch Capcom at E3 2021

In case you missed it you can watch back the full event below, the showcase starts at 15:43 into the video.

Resident Evil Village DLC

Capcom was essentially just taking a victory lap for the stellar reception that Resident Evil Village has received, but it did tip that work on DLC for the game is already underway, but no specifics on when it is coming or what it will include. 

Tsuyoshi Kanda, a producer on Resident Evil Village, also announced that Resident Evil RE: Verse, its online multiplayer title that is free for anyone that purchased Resident Evil Village, will go live next month. 

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin

Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin got a new official trailer along with some updates. The game will be available on July 9 and shortly after launch a "New Monstie" is coming, the Palamute which will be available starting July 15. The trial version of the game will be available on June 25 and you will be able to transfer your save data to the full game. 

The Deluxe Edition of the game will get you a number of digital in-game outfits, stickers and a new hairstyle and for those that pre-order you will receive a bonus outfit for Ena. 

Monster Hunter Rise

The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

The game features content that was previously only available in Japan. You are teamed up with the oh so cleverly named, Herlock Sholmes in London in the 19th century. 

You will investigate the crime scene, build your case and battle the prosecution in an effort to win the case and ensure that justice is served. The game includes 10 new cases and 8 mini escapes for you to playthrough. It will be available starting July 27 on PS4, Switch and Steam

Capcom offered a look at some new gameplay features for this release: Dance of Deduction and Summation Examination.

The former has the detective Herlock Sholmes throw out a series of conjectures and then you will discuss the flaws in these discussions with your associate and search for clues to identify these errors and reveal the truth. Herlock will respond to these revelations with new deductions and helps them come to the proper conclusion together.

The Summation Examination takes place in the courtroom and has you essentially facing off against the jury with each of the six members of the jury explaining why they came to their verdict. You need to identify any conflicting statements among the jurors and call them out with evidence to back it up. If you are successful you can change their minds and tip the scales in your favor. 

Refresh

The Capcom pre-show is finally kicking off with some Monster Hunter talk ahead of the full showcase starting at 5:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Not surprisingly as we await the event actually getting underway, Lady Dimitrescu is top of mind for some Capcom fans.
