As a game publisher, Capcom continues to be on a roll. It impressed me at Summer Game Fest this year with games like Monster Hunter Wilds and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and I’m excited about the recent announcements of Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics and Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Now, Capcom is holding a dedicated showcase called Capcom Next: Summer 2024 to give a deeper look at three imminent games. If you’d like to tune in, I’ve rounded up all the relevant information about the event so you know where to tune in and how to set your expectations.

When is Capcom Next: Summer 2024?

The Capcom Next: Summer 2024 showcase will broadcast at 3 p.m. PT on July 1. Capcom says the program will last 25 minutes, so set aside a half-hour to check it out sometime if you can’t watch it live.

What to expect from Capcom Next: Summer 2024

Capcom made it quite clear that we should only expect to see three games during this Capcom Next showcase: Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, and Resident Evil 7 biohazard for Apple devices. Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is a fascinating hybrid of tower defense and action game elements, and we’ll seemingly be getting a thorough deep dive into the game before its July 19 launch.

We’ll receive more details on Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, which Capcom surprisingly announced on Wednesday and marks the return of a beloved zombie game series. Finally, Capcom will show off the version of Resident Evil 7 that’s being made for iPhone, iPad, and Mac devices with an M1 chip or better in the wake of similar ports for Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4’s remake. It’s unfortunate that we won’t be learning more about Monster Hunter Wilds or Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics during Capcom Next, but at least all three things Capcom is showing off are pretty compelling.

PlayStation 6: all the features we want to see in Sony’s next console
Three colorful PS5s float together in a line.

As we reach what we expect to be the midpoint of this console generation, we can't help but look to the future. In four years, there's a very good chance the hardware hype cycle will start up once again as Sony plans to release a PlayStation 6. While we're certainly jumping the gun in anticipating it (we're still waiting for a PS5 Pro, after all), we've been taking a moment this month to reflect on this console generation and what we want from the next one based on how its gone.

For the sake of daydreaming, I've put together a list of features I'm already hoping to see on PlayStation 6. Think of this less as an impatient glimpse at the future, though. If anything, it's more of a commentary on what's currently lacking on PS5. I hope to see the inevitable PS5 Pro address some of these issues, but if it doesn't, this is what I'll need to see if the PS6 drops in 2028.

This new Battlefield crossover might be your best bet for more Dead Space
Issac Clarke exploring ruins in Dead Space Remake.

The Dead Space remake might've come out a year and a half ago, but Electronic Arts is bringing it back for a short time. The developer announced on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday that there will be a Dead Space crossover with Battlefield 2042.

The Season 7 event will take place from July 9-16, and will feature a limited-time mode called "Outbreak." From the short teaser posted online, it looks like your typical PvE extraction mode, where players enter an area overflowing with Necromorph enemies, kill as many as they can, and try to escape.
