News Monster Hunter World Sales Break 20 Million
It's a monster
Capcom's best selling game ever continues to be an absolute juggernaut. Monster Hunter World has now shipped and sold over 20 million copies, which is very, very impressive. In August 2020, the Japanese publisher revealed that World had hit 16 million units sold, so the game's managed an additional 4 million sales in just over a year...

News Devil May Cry Series Celebrates 20th Anniversary
Hell yeah
Capcom's Devil May Cry series is 20 years old today (the 23rd August), with the original Devil May Cry launching for PlayStation 2 all the way back in 2001.

News Meet Luke, a New Challenger in Street Fighter 5 and a Glimpse into the Franchise's Future
Kickbox off
This is it, then: the final character in Street Fighter V’s fifth season. Due out in November, kickboxer Luke is being pitched as “a glimpse into the future” of the prestigious fighting game franchise. Maybe we’re reading too deeply into the comments, but it sounds to us like this appearance could merely be a warm-up for the...
News Earn Free Wallpapers by Telling Capcom What You Think of The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles
That's the deal
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles just released on PlayStation 4 yesterday, and if you ask us, it's a cracking adventure game for fans and newcomers alike. Capcom's melodramatic courtroom visual novels are relatively new to Sony's ecosystem, but it's clear why this franchise is so beloved, and this latest collection is easily as good...
Review The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles (PS4) - No Objections to This Spiffing Spin-Off
Industrial revelations
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles is a collection containing two titles never before released in the West, finally receiving official localisations years after their initial Japan-only launches. While this spin-off duology does little to tamper with the series' established formula, it makes up for a lack of innovation by...
News Resident Evil Re:Verse Won't Launch in July After All, Delayed to 2022
"Working to deliver a smooth gameplay experience"
Man, Capcom's multiplayer spin-off just can't catch a break, can it? Resident Evil Re:Verse, the multiplayer companion piece to Resident Evil Village, was due to launch sometime this month, although we never did get a full release date. Now, the publisher has decided to push back the launch even...
Hands On The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Is a Victorian Spin on a Classic Formula
It's elementary
With The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, two entries in the series are finally being brought to the West.

While PlayStation users became acquainted with the franchise via the Phoenix Wright Trilogy, the...
News The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles Details Its New Gameplay Features
With Herlock Sholmes
The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles, which is out on PlayStation 4 near the end of next month, got two new trailers at Capcom's utterly pointless E3 2021 showcase. The first, embedded above, is a brief overview trailer that's got a bit of everything. The second, embedded below, shows off two new gameplay features — stuff that...
News Multiplayer Spin-Off Resident Evil Re:Verse Releases Next Month
No date, though
If you bought Resident Evil Village, then you’ll be eligible to play multiplayer spin-off Resident Evil Re:Verse. And while the online experiment had originally been scheduled to release last month alongside the core game, a sloppy beta pushed it back a bit. Now, as confirmed during an E3 2021 panel, it’ll officially launch next...
News Resident Evil Village Will Receive DLC in the Future
Please be excited
Resident Evil Village will be treated to some post-launch DLC at some point in the future. That's it. That's the article. The E3 2021 livestream dedicated a stretch of its broadcast to Japanese publisher Capcom, and just about the only piece of news worth sharing is that last month's survival horror hit will be expanded upon. No...

Review Capcom Arcade Stadium (PS4) - Capcom-asters of 32 Arcade Games from 1984 to 2001
Worth every Zenny
The widespread use of CD-ROM formats during the 32-bit era allowed space for decent retro game compilations on the PS1, but the potential of retro collections blossomed into larger libraries and extra features on the PS2 and PSP. The likes of Taito Legends, SNK Arcade Classics, and especially the various volumes of the
Mini Review Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection (PS4) - Armour-Strippingly Hard and Proud of It
You'll need a change of underwear
There's so much exploding clothing in this game that you'd be forgiven for thinking it's another instalment in the Senran Kagura series. Fortunately (or, depending on your opinion, unfortunately) it's just the unbelievably fragile armour of enduring Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection protagonist, Sir Arthur. You see,...
News PS Plus Users Can Get Capcom Arcade Stadium's Ghosts 'n Goblins for Free
Free for free
Okay, so it's not quite the same as giving away a full game, but PlayStation Plus subscribers can currently nab the original Ghosts 'n Goblins for Capcom Arcade Stadium at no extra cost. Capcom Arcade Stadium itself is free to download on PS4 (and PS5 via backwards compatibility), but you need to cough up for the games and various...
News Resident Evil Village's Recipes Have Been Recreated in Real Life
Get a load of this Bird and Beast Pilaf
Resident Evil Village was the first game in the long-running series to feature a sort of in-game cooking mechanic, fuelled by slaughtering wildlife throughout the game's village and then handing over the remains to the Duke. Eating the meals the merchant creates leads to permanent buffs for protagonist Ethan...
Poll What Review Score Would You Give Resident Evil Village?
Bloody reunion
Resident Evil Village has been out for just over a week now, and as always, we want to hear your opinion.

This time around, Ethan's got to contend with all kinds of creatures...

News Resident Evil Village's Performance Capture Was Shot at Sony Santa Monica's Studio
Pillage the village
Resident Evil Village’s performance capture was recorded in Sony Santa Monica’s studio, with PlayStation’s own Visual Arts & Services Group also in the release’s credits.

Poll Did You Buy Resident Evil Village?
Welcome to the village
Resident Evil Village is here, and we absolutely love it. We gave it an 'excellent' 9/10 in our Resident Evil Village PS5 review, but, as always, we want to know if the latest blockbuster is currently residing on your console. It's fair to say that Capcom's been on a roll for a good few years now, pumping out a number of top...

Review Resident Evil Village (PS5) - Capcom's Best Horror Game for 16 Years
Goth punk
If we're being brutally honest, Resident Evil Village puts Resident Evil 7: Biohazard to shame. That's not to say we've soured on Ethan Winters in the four years since his introduction, but rather what Capcom has done next goes way above and beyond the events of the Baker incident. Resident Evil Village is incredible. By borrowing the best...
News Resident Evil Re:Verse Not Actually Launching with Village
Pack-in game comes this summer
Since its reveal earlier this year, we've sort of assumed that Resident Evil Re:Verse would launch on the same day as its bigger and better brother Resident Evil Village — the date of 7th May 2021. Re:Verse is provided as a free pack-in like Resident Evil Resistance, after all. However, it turns out that's not...
News Capcom Extends Availability of Convoluted Resident Evil Village Demo
Play until 9th May
You've already had two chances to play the Resident Evil Village demo in the lead up to the full game's launch, but we wouldn't blame you if you passed on both opportunities.

News Capcom Arcade Stadium Is Coming to PS4 on 25th May, and Invincibility Is Paid DLC
Eatin' quarters
Capcom Arcade Stadium is coming to PlayStation 4 on 25th May, but that’s the secondary story here. The real headline is that the publisher is releasing DLC that you can purchase, which will make you invincible across the release’s selection of retro games. Surely, seeing as these aren’t actual arcades, you could just push...
News Resident Evil Village Has a Cute Reference to an Old Merchant
What're yer buyin'?
Resident Evil 4’s shady merchant is in the video game Hall of Fame, so it’s cute to see the character referenced in the all-new Resident Evil Village. Those who played the upcoming survival horror’s latest demo spotted the nod to the cloaked salesman, and clipped it for YouTube posterity. You can enjoy the Eater egg below,...
Reminder Play the Resident Evil Village Castle Demo This Weekend
Back again
After confusing us all across one weekend, Capcom is back to do it all over again with the Resident Evil Village Castle demo.

This doesn't come as a huge...
News Resident Evil Village Has Gyro Aiming on PS5, But It's Busted
Not like this
Sony’s new DualSense controller, much like the DualShock 4, has pretty good motion sensors in it – but developers rarely use them. This is frustrating, because we’re big believers in gyro aiming: the concept of fine-tuning your shots by tilting the pad. Those who’ve experienced the feature in, say, Gravity Rush 2 and Uncharted:...
News Resident Evil 4 Is Being Adapted for VR, But It's Exclusive to Oculus Quest 2
No plans for PSVR right now
After the incredible Resident Evil 7: Biohazard on PSVR, we’ve been hoping for some form of Resident Evil Village announcement. Sadly, we’re no longer holding our breath for that – but we’d never have bargained for a Resident Evil 4 VR announcement to fill the void. That’s exactly what was announced overnight,...
News That Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection Game Is Coming to PS4
Masochistic title comes our way
It turns out the exclusivity period for Ghosts 'n Goblins Resurrection on Nintendo Switch was very short-lived because the game has now been confirmed for PlayStation 4. A new trailer above confirms the port, but doesn't go so far as to reveal a release date. Footage shares the typical gameplay sequences alongside...

News Resident Evil Village Resurrects The Mercenaries Arcade Mode
Customise and upgrade your arsenal
Resident Evil fans are unanimous in their adoration of the series’ arcade-infused Mercenaries mode, but outside of some loosely inspired alternatives in the Resident Evil Revelations sub-series, the option has been largely absent in recent years.

News Resident Evil Village to Get a New Trailer and Gameplay Footage in Upcoming Showcase
Village people
It's kind of crept up on us, but Resident Evil Village is now only a month away. Releasing on 7th May for PlayStation 5 and PS4, the latest main entry in the survival horror series is very nearly here.

News Resident Evil Village PS5 File Size Supposedly Leaks, And It's Small
Much smaller than Lady Dimitrescu, anywho
One thing we’ve noticed over the past few weeks is that, franchises like Call of Duty and NBA 2K aside, PlayStation 5 file sizes are getting smaller. There’s a new Watch Dogs Legion patch, for example, which goes up to 19GB on Xbox platforms – but it’s just a tickle over 2GB on Sony’s next-gen...
