Capcom reveals four playable titles for Gamescom 2026

Capcom will return to the annual August event with four playable demos spread across 60 stations. The publisher joins Nintendo, Ubisoft and Xbox among the confirmed exhibitors for the show at Koelnmesse in Cologne, Germany.

Capcom returns to Gamescom with four playable titles. The company will occupy more than 950 square meters in Hall 9, Booth A070, with 60 demo stations. Nintendo Everything and VGChartz both report the booth will also host live streamed programs and Rocket Beans TV shows aimed at German audiences.

The action-RPG sequel makes its public debut. "Mega Man: Dual Override" was announced at The Game Awards in 2025 and is scheduled for release in 2027 across all platforms. Gamescom 2026 will mark the first time players can try it.

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen adds new story content. The expansion was revealed last week during a Nintendo Direct. It was developed “based on the wide range of feedback received following the release of the main game”.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Street Fighter 6 round out the demos. A public demo for Onimusha: Way of the Sword launched earlier this month ahead of its September 25 release. Following player feedback that the demo felt too easy, director Akihito Kadowaki posted a video on the official Onimusha X account stating the final game’s difficulty will differ. Street Fighter 6 will include eSport activities according to VGChartz.

The event runs from Wednesday, August 26, through Sunday, August 30. Capcom’s presence adds to a growing list of major publishers committing to the show this year.
