Capcom has announced that Mega Man: Dual Override<\/a>, the latest (and long-overdue) entry in the action-platformer series, will be playable for the first time at Gamescom 2026 in Cologne from 26th – 30th August<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

We’ve not seen much from the game so far, which isn’t a big surprise considering its vague 2027<\/strong> release window, but being playable at Gamescom hopefully means we’re also due a new trailer pretty soon.<\/p>\n

Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen<\/a> will also be playable at the event. As a reminder, the upcoming DLC expansion will come bundled with the main game when it launches on the Switch 2 on 9th October 2026<\/strong>. Finally, Onimusha: Way of the Sword<\/a> will make an appearance ahead of its release on 25th September 2026<\/strong>. Those on PS5 can download a demo for this one right now, but if not, this might prove a good opportunity to test it out.<\/p>\n

Around 60 playable demo stations will be set up at Gamescom in Hall 9, Booth A070. eSports activities will also be available for Street Fighter 6<\/a> if the mood strikes, but we suspect most folks will be keen to try out Capcom’s upcoming titles instead.<\/p>\n

Although seemingly absent from Gamescom, Resident Evil Veronica<\/a> has also been confirmed for the Switch 2 and is due to launch in 2027. A full remake of Code Veronica<\/a>, it sees the return of Claire Redfield following the events of Resident Evil 2 as she searches for her brother, Chris.<\/p>\n
