Capcom has announced that Street Fighter 6 has hit a brand-new milestone, just 15 months after the game was first released. As announced on X, Street Fighter 6 has officially reached over four million sales globally. This now puts it on a level playing field with Mortal Kombat, which surpassed that number 11 months after launch. Despite that, at least in the fighting game community, it seems that Street Fighter 6 is the more popular of the two. However, Tekken 8 did significantly better than these combined, reaching two million sales in a month. With this information, Capcom firmly believes […]

A Dragon's Dogma 2 DLC expansion seems to be in the works, and its reveal could be edging closer, judging from some recent findings. As reported on the Gaming Leaks subreddit, there's been some behind-the-scenes activity on Steam. According to the Steam Database, there have been some encrypted DLC updates that have only been affecting the game's main app, as well as multiple updates for an unnamed DLC pack that has been in the works for at least 5 months. With this type of behind-the-scenes activity, there's usually something cooking, so it could definitely be the same for Dragon's Dogma […]

Monster Hunter Wilds is, without a doubt, one of the most anticipated games releasing next year on PC and consoles, and the excitement was palpable during Gamescom 2024, with extremely long lines to try out the game for the very first time since its announcement. During the show, I also had the chance to try out the next entry in the CAPCOM series, playing through a single-player quest that acted more as a tutorial before jumping into a more challenging multiplayer quest focused on hunting the powerful Alpha Doshaguma. From a gameplay perspective, there isn't a whole lot to say […]
No, you’re not crazy. Summer is basically over, even if this godforsaken heat is hellbent on lingering for another few weeks. Kids are going back to school, hoodies and jackets are about to come back out, and I’m going to stay my ass indoors and start ...
Shinji Mikami, the creator of the iconic Resident Evil franchise, has spoken out in an interview with Eurogamer regarding the success of Monster Hunter and how, due to how successful the franchise has become, he doesn't see the need for a new Dino Crisis game to exist. In the interview, he expressed his surprise at how many people would like a new Dino Crisis game, as he feels that everything you could want from Dino Crisis is covered in Monster Hunter. "The awesomeness of dinosaurs and the stuff you can do with dinosaurs, that's been kind of really nailed down […]

The God Hand series began and ended with the release of the first entry in 2006, but if given a chance to revive any of the series he has worked on, director Shinji Mikami would choose it over every other. In an interview with both the legendary creator of the Resident Evil series, among other franchises, and Goichi Suda, also known as Suda51, regarding Shadows of the Damned: Hella Remastered conducted during Gamescom last week, I asked which game or series they had worked on they would like to bring back and give another chance. Mikami-san answered first without hesitation, […]
