Capcom held one of its annual summer Spotlight showcases today. While it was light on major announcements, we did learn more about Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, the reveal of new story DLC for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, and smaller updates for Onimusha: Way of the Sword and Resident Evil Requiem. Here’s a summary of each notable announcement.

- Additional Side Story: Rudy DLC is available today for $9.99 (free for Deluxe/Premium edition owners). The narrative explores the origin of Rudy, the Royal Feylne, and his ancestors.
