A developer livestream scheduled for March 5 will spotlight CAPCOM’s upcoming games, including PRAGMATA—a sci-fi action-adventure with real-time hacking—and Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, a turn-based RPG set against environmental collapse.
PRAGMATA follows spacefarer Hugh and android Diana as they battle a hostile AI on a lunar research station. The game’s dual gameplay loop pairs third-person gunplay with Diana’s real-time hacking, which disables enemy armor for Hugh to eliminate. Originally announced in 2020, it was delayed multiple times before receiving a confirmed April 24, 2026 release date at The Game Awards 2025.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection continues the spin-off RPG series, this time focusing on two rival kingdoms—Azuria and Vermeil—facing an environmental disaster. Players take control of Azuria’s heir, teaming with Vermeil’s princess to combat the threat while navigating political conflicts. The game uses a turn-based combat system centered around becoming a Rider who bonds with and battles monsters. It launches on March 13, 2026 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch 2, and PC via Steam.
Also featured in the Spotlight will be Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection, a compilation of all three entries in the Mega Man Star Force series, originally released for the Nintendo DS between 2006 and 2008. The collection includes all seven versions of the games, with new difficulty options, autosave functionality, adjustable encounter rates, and fully rearranged soundtracks alongside the originals. Online card trading and battles are supported, and it is scheduled for release on March 27, 2026.
Mega Man: Dual Override, the twelfth mainline entry in the classic Mega Man series, is also expected to be highlighted. Announced at The Game Awards 2025, it takes a classic approach to the Blue Bomber with run-and-gun gameplay and colorful robot battles, while featuring a refreshed visual style. A Robot Master design contest allows fans to submit ideas for boss characters, a tradition dating back to earlier entries in the series. The game is set for a 2027 release, marking the Mega Man series’ 40th anniversary.
Street Fighter 6, already released in June 2023, will likely receive updates during the Spotlight. It introduced Modern Controls to lower the barrier to entry for newcomers and features a fully fleshed-out single-player World Tour mode and Battle Hub online space. The game has been regularly updated with new fighters and content, cementing its status as one of the most successful entries in the series’ history.
What remains unclear is whether CAPCOM will announce additional DLC fighters for Street Fighter 6 or reveal further details about PRAGMATA’s gameplay mechanics. Developers often use Spotlight events to tease upcoming content, but the exact nature of these updates has yet to be confirmed.
For power users and developers, the real-time hacking mechanic in PRAGMATA presents an interesting challenge in terms of balancing action and strategy. The turn-based combat in Monster Hunter Stories 3 offers a fresh twist on the series’ traditional gameplay, while Mega Man: Dual Override’s classic approach with modern visuals could appeal to both longtime fans and newcomers.
What to watch: PRAGMATA’s release date is less than two months away, and updates during the Spotlight event will likely provide more insight into its gameplay mechanics. Monster Hunter Stories 3’s launch is also imminent, with potential announcements about additional content or post-launch support.
