Oh boy, this is a big one. Following on from the recent ransomware attack that targeted Capcom, it seems as though the publisher's entire project schedule for the next four years has leaked online. A screenshot of the document — which is in Japanese and is believably detailed — spills the beans on a bunch of unannounced games.
According to the leak, Capcom has plans for...
- Resident Evil Outrage - Q4 2021
- Dragon's Dogma 2 - Q2 2022
- Street Fighter 6 - Q3 2022
- Rockman (Mega Man in English) Match - Q3 2022
- Residen Evil 4 Remake - Q4 2022
- Onimusha New Work - Q4 2022
- Monster Hunter 6 - Q2 2023
- Biohazard Apocalypse - Q3 2023
- Super Street Fighter 6 - Q4 2023
- Final Fight Remake - Q2 2024
- Power Stone Remake - Q3 2024
- Ultra Street Fighter 6 - Q4 2024
- Resident Evil Hank - Q4 2024
While this thing does start to read a bit like fan fiction — a Power Stone remake? Wow! — we need to remember that video game companies as big as Capcom are always planning ahead, often years and years in advance. What's more, the document itself does look fairly legit.
If it is real, then Capcom's got one hell of a generation lined up. It's just a shame that this supposed leak follows on what has been a terrible time for the company and its employees. The aforementioned ransomware attack compromised a lot of personal data, and is obviously being treated as a criminal act by the authorities.

No Deep Down? Shame.
Nope, not real. Too many games that fans have been asking for. Power Stone’s the one that gives it away, like when people ‘leak’ Goku for Smash.
Damm there whole schedule laid out bare for all to see. Hope no personal info from staff or customers were compromised. But a massive attack no doubt. Personally looking forward to Onimusha
Its a tricky one this for journalism. Yes it's been published online and so the information is now "out there". However publishing the information here as well makes you "complicit" in the theft of the information in a rather uncomfortable way. I know if you don't report it, others will and it's a tricky situation, but I'm not particularly keen on how the media in general are handling the situation.
Dont get my Hope's up for Dragon's Dogma 2. My heart can't take it.
Onimusha? Hell to the yes!!!!
Obviously the leak is hugely damaging and awful for all involved, but a new onimusha would be grand.
Resident evil hank though? Let's hope that is a working title 😅
@nessisonett The ransomware leak gives this whole thing weight, though. Either it's real or someone's taking advantage of the situation to write fan fiction. Time will tell.
Look at that, 3 versions of Street Fighter, again!!
No surprise Code Veronica remake in there, shame.
"Strike the tail" "Tis weak to fire!"
@ShogunRok Also considering that Street Fighter V went for a season based model, which makes far more sense in today’s market. It’s somebody taking advantage of the situation.
Street Fighter 6 - Q3 2022
Super Street Fighter 6 - Q4 2023
Ultra Street Fighter 6 - Q4 2024
...
Makes me laugh all those interviews they do where they say "We have no plans for additional physical releases, because we care about consumers".
(Edit: Assuming this "leak" is real of course.)
Disappointed that there is no Asura's Wrath 2 in the pipeline.
Edit2: Also, no Ace Attorney 7...
@nessisonett If it does turn out to be real, I'll be copying you into the comments!
@pip_muzz No, this is wrong. Reporting on leaked information, even if it was stolen, doesn't make reporters "complicit" in the theft. This is an established legal principle in the U.S. A reporter is only complicit in the theft of information if they induced someone to steal it for them.
I thought the story was going to be buried for ethical reasons, @get2sammyb ?
@pip_muzz couldn't agree more.
@ShogunRok Of course, but there are small inconsistencies, like games sometimes being called ‘Resident Evil’ and sometimes being ‘Biohazard’. It’s in Japanese therefore they should all be ‘Biohazard’. Or even Biohazard:Resident Evil
I belive dragons dogma 2 will come RE4 remake again...was just a matter of time but wheres code Veronica
Wonder what biohazard apocalypse is if its real, why use Resident evil name then change again for another game and use Biohazard
Seems like. Fishy list, but capcom will have to answer soon I guess
@mechayakuza Complicit or not, the information was stolen and private property and is now being reproduced without the original owners permission. That's not ok, US law or otherwise. "Legal" or not it's a scummy thing to do.
Too bad...
Capcom didn't even bring Cross x Beats on year 2013 to consoles as the only Rhythm game from Capcom, thanks to Naoki Maeda as former DDR sound director from Konami.
It boggles my mind that other RPG'S haven't ripped off DD's fantastic pawn system.
Super and Ultra Street Fighter 6 doesn't surprise me lol.
new Onimusha is always welcome, hell id even take an RE Remake style game at this point it would look stunning in the RE Engine and the over the shoulder viewpoint hasnt hurt God Of War
@nessisonett Worth pointing out that this information is based on Japanese to English translation, so there are a few weird inconsistencies like that.
@pip_muzz Again, you may think it's not ok, but once the information is out, it is perfectly legal for anyone to report on it, even if the original owner of the information doesn't want it to be reported on. It's not a "scummy" thing to do, as it's the way we know about lots of government abuses based on leaked/stolen information. Don't conflate your opinion with the actual facts and the law.
@mechayakuza well I'm not a US citizen but a UK one and our libel laws work very differently. Information illegally obtained in the EU can not be widely shared unless there's a specific clause for public interest/benefit. This may fly in the US but I wouldn't be surprised if Push Square get a cease and desist letter at some point
Now that I think about it, no mention of Pragmata on here? Would of thought that would of been mentioned at least due to the fact that it does exist given the PS5 trailer...
Power Stone Colelction onS witch, please. New entry on new gen consoles, as well. K thanks.
@MS7000 May be under a different working title. This document is apparently dated May 2020, which was before Pragmata's announcement.
Ok Street Fighter 6 is a given! But new Power Stone? And Final Fight! That would be cool
Sad that there's no Marvel vs Capcom.
@MS7000 What they actually said was you only need to buy one version of SFV, which remains true. It's up to consumers whether they bought the DLC but balance updates were available for everyone.
Aww yeah my boy Samanosuke making a comeback!!
@AdamNovice as were additional game modes like arcade mode, extra battle, galleries etc! I am completely fine with this if they keep it up.
@AdamNovice I could be confusing Street Fighter V with Street Fighter IV, either that, or I imagined everything. Regardless though, Marvel vs Capcom would be nice. Was disappointed that Asura wasn't in infinite for Hulk to fight.
@ShogunRok Sorry to be "that guy" but do you not have an issue with essentially replicating stolen information on the site?
The only difference between this and the employee bank details is the relevance of news. This isn't some disgruntled employee posting on Twitter but a full on large scale act of company theft. Which is now being shared here (complete with screenshots I might add).
I am the only one with a conscious who finds this to not be ok and in very bad taste?
If true then hell yeah, Dragons Dogma 2 would be amazing stuff.
Final fight remake and power stone remake? Now we're talking, capcom
Capcom's probably happy that their competitors can see what they're planning for the next 4 years (or maybe not).
Yes,well I'm RE outraged that RE Code Veronica X is nowhere in that lineup! Sigh-always the forgotten child that game! Still, I wouldn't have wanted the rush job that RE3 got in terms of cut areas/content.
Makes you wonder about most of Capcom's old arcade library gathering dust sadly...I'd love a compilation of Ghosts'n'Goblins, Ghouls'n'Ghosts,Super G'n'G,Ultimate G'n'G & the Maximo games which were spiritual successors...
People should have their expectations firmly in check on some of these games though-even if this list has any validity,stuff in early planning stages/concept testing is no guarantee we'll see it formally announced.
Nope. Absolutely no way is Capcom remaking final fight and power stone. Won't believe any of this till I see an announcement trailer years from now
Online Powerstone could be massive, but I just don't see them swaying away from their safe franchises.
@pip_muzz If the people that stole the information went straight to Push square and ask them to publish it then I think I would have a problem with that along with everyone else. However that is not the case, this has already appeared in almost every video game and tech news site.
Push square are essentially retweeting this already highly available information to it's readers. I'm happy that the folks here will cover everything related to Playstation that's either good, bad or comes from the scum of the earth.
Seems legit enough:
Resident Evil Outrage, 4 remake, Apocalypse and Hank, why not?
3 versions of Street Fighter 6, why not?
Dragons Dogma 2; they did make a Japan only online game, so why not?
Megaman; the last sold more than a million according to Capcom's list of million sellers.
Powerstone and Final Fight remakes; they don't have be that expensive to make, think of Strider and Bionic Commando's digital releases.
Monster Hunter 6; no brainer.
Onimusha; a little more in doubt with that one I admit, it's expensive to make 3D action games and the series have been dead for almost 15 years.
This can't be real. There's no mention of a Super/Ultra Street Fighter 6 Arcade or Super/Ultra Street Fighter 6 Arcade Alpha/Omega.
I believe Monster Hunter 6 is actually Rise and the never ending releases of Street Fighter 6 are gonna happen no doubt but Power stone and final fight time will tell
@pip_muzz uhm,legally,no it does not work like that ,as far as I can tell.
@lacerz it's got three of them😆
Reg, super, ultra. Like a gas station.
@lacerz This is how I know it’s real.
Dragon dogma 2 will be amazing its happening.one of the best game ever.word up son
@pip_muzz unfortunately, it appears you're one of the few. The rest simply don't care because it doesn't personally involve/affect them.
Dragons dogma 2 with demon souls graphics and keep those lovely/ridiculous quotes from the pawns in it and I'll pre-order it in a heartbeat:)
@pip_muzz Well, you are being "that guy" and essentially complaining about nothing. The information is already out there, so reporting on it won't change what has already happened. And really, your conscience is soooo bothered by the big multinational company having information leaked that in the long run probably won't amount to anything?
@mechayakuza Big companies and rich people can be victims too. It doesn't matter what background someone has, a crime is a crime. So yes, I'm sympathetic to the employees of Capcom who are the victims of a crime that this website is validating. Not all websites are sharing the information, Eurogamer, Kotaku, Polygon have no mention of it... So yes. It seems I have empathy, a dying trait these days.
That’s a massive leak of games if this is true. Sorry Capcom, I know you didn’t want the info to come out like this. But I’ll gladly support a lot of games on this list.
I'll take all of this info with a grain of salt but I like the idea of a new onimusha, powerstone and final fight too!
Some of these games sound totally fake.
I'd love if "Outrage" was code for "Outbreak"
Hmmm... Final Fight... Best beat em up of all time...
Yeah, that Power Stone "leak" makes me think fake.
Can't wait for Resident Evil Hank. I wonder if it's meant to be Hanks and wIll be staring Tom Hanks?
They need to sort out Rival Schools/Project Justice.
This isn’t even remotely believable, total garbage.
What an amazing line up, this is going to be a golden generation. A new Final Fight oh yes!!
Street Fighter 6, Super Street Fighter 6, Ultra Street Fighter 6? Yeah, that sounds more like a joke than actually legit. Like mocking the fact that we know there’s gonna be at least three versions of the same game.
@pip_muzz You feel empathy for Capcom? Dude Capcom don't give two sh*ts about you and would take your last quid off you if it could, personal info sure i feel sorry for any workers who had their personal details stolen but games what haven't been announced? Come on who cares other then Capcom? Only thing this is going to do for Capcom is cost them some spare change and influence share holders something you should not have empathy for.
Also UK law says Push Square can report on this, reporting on stuff spread out on the internet no matter its origins is perfectly legal providing PQ aren't the ones involved with it being stolen. newspapers and news stations report on stuff stolen all the time, remember the infamous Sony leak? Remember sites reporting on details of the Deadpool test footage leak as well showing screenshots from it? PQ are not going to get into any trouble here and the only one who cares about its origins is you. Sorry but feeling empathy for something what only cares about how much money i can give them is something i can happily live without even if i do like Capcom as game makers.
Monster Hunter 6 in three years time is believable since Capcom has two teams working on the MH games. One for Nintendo and the other for Playstation. MHRise is releasing next year and it'll probably get another version in 2022. Which means there's a possibility that we'll get a new MH game for the PS5 in 2023.
Let's speculate.
Rock Man Match: looks like it will be the long awaited Mega Man battle network collection. Mr. Match is a recurrent character in those games.
Resident Evil Hank may be a reference to Hunk (Hanku in japanese). That character appears in several RE games. Maybe it's a hint to a Mercenaries remake? A new operation racoon city game? It's noteworthy to know that while he is absent from code Veronica, he is still mentioned. So maybe we will get that remake we fans want.
Onimusha new work. At 1st glance, it looks like we will get a new game but... I think we will get a remake/hd port of Onimusha 2 samurai's destiny. Why? New work in japanese can be translated as Shinsaku. Shinsaku is the name of a famous historical samurai.
So are my speculations too farfetched? What do you think people?
I forgot to mention that RE apocalypse can also be a mention for Code Veronica. The 2004 movie was loosely inspired by RE3 and Code Veronica.
@Saucymonk Hank is probably a reference to the character Hunk (Hanku in japanese).
No Rival School 3... Capcom, come on! The Street Fighter schedule is totally believable by the way, it's been par for the course for years.
All I see is Power Stone
@lacerz Deep Down probably got reworked into Dragon’s Dogma 2. I’m willing to bet on it.
Holy carp! NEW Onimusha! Power Stone! and (the superior beat em up) Final Fight! ??? - WHAAAATTT??!! I'm down with that.
Dragon's Dogma 2??
YEEESSS!!!!
This reads as very fake.
No Pragmata makes this list seem fake. Also, it would never take them four years to make a Final Fight remake.
@Rob_230 Resident Evil Bob next, please!
@WallyWest "Sympathetic for the employees of capcom" translates to empathy for the the CEOs and share holders? Interesting interpretation of his comment.
@Robocod Yes, the fact that I only recall the Bandersnatch in that title is also a missed opportunity, they weren't too hard, but fun, especially in the time trial mode post game.
@Jayofmaya Haha! Hopefully starring Bob from the Street Fighter series. A cross-over made in heaven
@pip_muzz
Reporting on a crime does not make you complicit in a crime. This is what free press is about.
that typical of Capcom let remake the near masterpiece that is RE4 istead of Resident Evil:Code Veronica, that is in a dire need of a remake to expand the game and fix many of it flaws, and what Bioharzard Apocalipse is suposed to mean? the sequel of Resident Evil 8 Village?
@Rob_230 I was recalling the injured guy you help in Outbreak, but that's a good choice, too!
Cant believe no-one has mentioned the lack of a Dino Crisis Remake on this list, i hope it turns out to be fake. Gimme that DC remake!
@pip_muzz
By the way, did you look at the sites you mentioned? They've all posted details about the attack:
https://www.polygon.com/2020/11/16/21569504/capcom-leak-ransomware-resident-evil-village-release-dates-monster-hunter-stories-2-nintendo-switch
https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2020-11-20-capcom-ransomware-attack-worsens-as-release-schedule-posted-online
https://kotaku.com/capcom-details-what-data-was-compromised-in-cyberattack-1845685323
@Sekys Yes. When I posted the comment they hadn't yet had articles. Particularly disappointing/ironic since Eurogamer prides itself on it's "morality".
@JayShaw I totally forgot about Rival Schools. I used to play Project Justice on Dreamcast for days straight. Definitely a franchise in need of reviving!
Deeply down there wasn't any mention of Deep Down
Why is this a big one? I know fro years now that yes in 2021 we weill see re4 or dragon dogna next gen or of course we will see Mh,!! Leak didnot do anything.
I will be ignoring these rumors, mostly so I can still be surprised if they turn out to be true.
@pip_muzz Same here. Someone commented that Rival Schools 3 would never happen because the characters are apparently sexualised and given its high school context it could be a recipe for disaster/no-go area. My mind honestly never ever went there even once playing 1 & 2 back then, it was just another 3D Street Fighter game, but I guess the dude had a point? If so, I'm sure they could address the aesthetic issues. But still though, apart from the swimmer, who was badly dressed?!? Boggles the mind...
@nessisonett Nope .it real. Monster Hunter rise' Monster Hunter Stories 2' Street Fighter 6' RE4 Remake' Dragon Dogma 2' Mega Man. has been confirmed.
@Enuo it been confirmed.
@ShogunRok yeah it legit.
@Orpheus79V to bad it not most titles has been officially announced.
@Fontaine82 My man, this was 2 years ago. I stand corrected.
