Capcom Showcase 12/June/2023 - Roundup
Last week, it was announced that Capcom would be giving their own live showcase to bring some updates and news regarding what they've been working on and have on store, all of this as part of the Summer Games Fest. The Capcom livestream will be taking place today, June 12th, starting at 3pm PDT/11pm BST, and it's expected to have a runtime of around 36 minutes.
Capcom hasn't mentioned anything about what they could be potentially covering in their showcase, but given the still recent release of RE4 Remake and the more recent Street Fighter 6, it's possible we might see some new information regarding those titles, more so since there hasn't been anything new regarding RE4:R since the release of the free DLC "The Mercenaries" back in April, and some data mining was found regarding a placeholder menu asset for "Separate Ways" (or rather "Another Order" as it was known in Japan).
Join us as we cover the event live and discuss the surprises that Capcom unveils!
...And the event begins!
