The first time it has been made playable to the public, Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto, executive director and art director Kaname Fujioka, and director Yuya Tokuda, will also be present to deliver even more insights on Capcom’s very own Gamescom stage.
Attendees of the Capcom booth will also be able to get the global first hands-on with the newest, and first-ever guest character in the Street Fighter series, Terry Bogard, from SNK‘s Fatal Fury series. Fans can get to grips with Terry and try out his moves ahead of his release this fall. Terry Bogard, the Legendary Hungry Wolf, can be purchased individually with Fighter Coins or unlocked for players who own or purchase the Year 2 Character Pass or Year 2 Ultimate Pass.
Ace Attorney Investigations Collection
Visitors to the Capcom booth will also be able to get a first hands-on with Ace Attorney Investigations Collection, which will release on September 6. Ace Attorney Investigations Collection brings together two classic titles Ace Attorney Investigations: Miles Edgeworth and Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit in one highly anticipated collection! Initially released for Nintendo DS, the titles return with new and improved features. And for the first time ever, Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor’s Gambit will be available in the west after only being available in Japan.
Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess
The recently released Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess will also be playable, giving attendees a chance to experience the thrills of its unique kagura action strategy.
