When Capcom pulls out the heavy artillery, all are joys. And it doesn’t matter if they are new games, sequels, expansions or classics that in one way or another find a way to return. Elements that added together have shaped a Capcom Spotlight 2023 No surprises, things as they are, but in which the remake of Resident Evil 4, Street Fighter 6 and almost all the great sagas of the house have appeared in one way or another.
Of course, despite the fact that among what is shown we miss some unexpected novelty in the form of a surprise game, it cannot be said that we are left without joy: throughout the 26 minutes of the digital event, demos have been announced, open testing periods , releases that enter the Game Pass and even a true marathon of series to which everyone is invited. But let’s go in parts.
As tradition dictates, and as is expected of us, in VidaExtra we have gathered each and every one of the announcements of the Capcom Spotlight 2023 in one place to put the news and dates perfectly in view. And if you want to see the entire event from start to finish, we can make it easy for you too: you just have to skip the parts dedicated to each game, you will find it complete, without cuts and with subtitles in Spanish.
Of course, before going to the matter, you may be interested to know that there is a demo available of Resident Evil 4 .

An appetizer like those of yesteryear: No time or play limit.
Of course, despite the fact that the demo takes place more or less at the beginning of the game, those from Osaka took the opportunity to offer new advances of Resident Evil 4 with loose pieces of its plot and gameplay calculatedly designed to leave us wanting more.
Finally, a preview of the animated film was shown once more Resident Evil: Death Island, of which we know that it will be distributed by Sony Pictures, that it will be available in the summer and that Jill herself will join the initiative to take the protagonists of the Survival Horror saga to the Alcatraz prison, which is currently at the top of zombies. A bad idea, but a very good premise.

Street Fighter 6 might not be missing from the great Capcom event, although the novelty shown has not been in line with the treatment received by the rest of the games: the popular Japanese actress Hikaru Takahashi Close the team of commentators who will bring joy and emotion to each game.
Of course, we fear that Takahashi, like the other eight commentators, will speak in their mother tongue, so the options are reduced to English, Japanese or dispense with the option.
The positive part is that, in addition to summoning us to future news from Street Fighter 6a little more gameplay was shown and it was remembered that the competitive tournaments of Capcom Pro Tour will put some crazy prizes on the table: the new season starts with more than 2,000,000 dollars in prizes at stake.
