Almost every big developer / publisher hosts their own Nintendo Direct-style streams now to reveal what they’ve been cooking up behind the scenes, and Capcom is no exception there.
The Capcom Spotlight showcase is just about to take place where multiple of the company’s current and upcoming fighting games are going to be featured, but what are they going to unveil for them?
Their stream itself is set to be around 35 minutes in total with the first 20 minutes dedicated to the Spotlight and the rest to a Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase.
Within that first part, Street Fighter 6, the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 and Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection are all set to be included as well as Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
Given the limited time, there probably won’t be enough for any deep dives of course, however, we still likely have some new info to look forward to.
They haven’t explicitly promised new reveals beyond the “latest information” for the event, but it very rare for them to show up with no premieres to debut.
The Capcom Spotlight stream is slated to take place tomorrow on Tuesday, February 4, at 2 p.m. PT / 5 p.m. ET, which you can watch alongside us here, so let’s talk about what is and isn’t probably going to be there.
Mai Recap
This may be the most obvious thing, but Capcom is likely going to try and hype up the viewers by going back over much of what we’ve already seen with Mai Shiranui just before she arrives in a few hours after the show to Street Fighter 6.
We’ll probably just see more snippets of her trailer, World Tour mode and gameplay as well as potentially some information about her Fatal Fury origins.
So probably nothing to exciting there for followers of our site exactly.
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 Release Date
At the very least, we’re going to see more actual footage of the Capcom Fighting Collection 2 in action, however, that may not be all.
Since it is one of the main featured titles, we may very well get an actual release date for the collection featuring Capcom vs. SNK, Project Justice, Power Stone and more.
If it doesn’t pop up here, the release date could end up being at the rumored Nintendo Direct supposedly going down as soon as sometime this week.
Marvel vs. Capcom Xbox Date
Despite originally skipping over Microsoft’s consoles last year, the Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection is going to come to Xbox (along with the Capcom Fighting Collection 2) sometime this year as well.
Since it’s a rather small update compared to most of the rest, we feel like the Capcom Spotlight is the most likely place that’s going to show up with a release date.
So that’s probably top of the list in likelihood.
Street Fighter 6 Costumes
Just a few days ago, this wouldn’t have made the list at all, but things have changed a bit.
Capcom finally addressed the community’s desire for Outfit 4 and that they’re coming starting this Summer, but we may see them sooner.
The team did show off the art for some Outfit 3 designs almost four months prior to their release to help tide fans over.
Perhaps it’s time they do it again considering everyone’s been waiting a lot longer this go around.
Elena
Elena is next up to bat after Mai in SF6, but we shouldn’t go expecting to see her on our screens yet.
With Mai about to launch in mere hours following the event and Capcom Cup 11 coming in a month, it’s still too soon to see the last DLC character of Season 2.
If anything, players will be waiting until at least Capcom Cup if not later to see the game’s first Street Fighter 6 representative in action if Akuma is anything to go on from last year.
