Last month, Sony announced that Resident Evil 3 would be remade for the PlayStation 4, though Capcom confirmed that the updated version will also be released for the Xbox One and PC. Ahead of the remake's expected April 2020 release date, Sony has revealed more details about the updated version of the game, including which original elements will be removed.
Earlier today, Sony held the final PlayStation State of Play for 2019. Headlining that show was a pretty big announcement, as Capcom officially confirmed that it's remaking Resident Evil 3. Of course, a lot of us expected this announcement given the success of Resident Evil 2's remake earlier this year.
It seems the success of Capcom's Resident Evil 2 remake has prompted the company to begin working on a remake of Resident Evil 3. New reports claim that such a remake is currently in development over at Capcom, with the company planning to release it at some point next year.
It's been nearly four years since Street Fighter V first launched, and now it seems Capcom is finally ready to launch a definitive version of the game. Today Capcom announced Street Fighter V: Champion Edition, which is launching next year and comes with most of the content released thus far. If you're a fighting game fan who has somehow managed to avoid buying Street Fighter V up until this point, then it sounds like the Champion Edition is the game to get.
About a month ago, those playing Monster Hunter World on console received the game's first and only (so far) expansion pack, Iceborne. As with most things involving Monster Hunter World, the PC version of Iceborne is lagging behind the console version a little bit. Today, Capcom announced when Iceborne will launch on PC, and thankfully, PC players won't have to wait too much longer.
Monster Hunter World has already had a number of crossover events, but soon we'll be seeing what is unquestionably the most zany one yet. Capcom revealed today that Leon and Claire from the Resident Evil franchise are coming to Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, and while that's strange enough on its own, their appearance doesn't even begin to scratch the surface of how just how crazy this crossover is.
For reasons that aren't clear, Capcom has made the surprise announcement that its DuckTales: Remastered game will no longer be available to purchase starting tomorrow. The game is available at a steep discount across multiple platforms at this time but will disappear from digital stores starting on August 8. The current sales end dates are 'approximate,' according to Capcom, which indicates that sales may disappear sooner than expected.
For better or worse, Capcom's Monster Hunter series is going to make the jump to the silver screen next year. We haven't seen much from the movie aside from a few stills, but today, we're getting our first real glimpse at it thanks to a leaked trailer. The trailer amounts to nothing more than a teaser, but it does serve up shots of some of the main cast members and a couple of the monsters that will feature in the movie.
Thanks to the success of the NES Classic and SNES Classic, a lot of companies seem to have taken an interest in making retro consoles of their own. The latest is Capcom, which is in the curious position of having plenty of classic games to offer nostalgic consumers without ever actually producing a console. It does have plenty of experience with arcade cabinets, however, so it's taking that history to create one of the most unique retro consoles we've seen yet.
Microsoft has announced that six games will be joining Xbox Game Pass this month, and two of them in particular are big games worth getting excited about. April's games are headlined by Bethesda's Prey, which is only a couple of years old, and Monster Hunter: World - one of 2018's most successful games. We're guessing that Monster Hunter: World alone will be enough to drive some new subscriptions to Game Pass this month.
![Valve and five PC publishers might be in hot water with the EU [Update]](https://www.slashgear.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/04/steam-1-1280x720.jpg)
The European Commission announced today that it has sent a Statement of Objection to Valve and five PC games publishers concerning their practices of geo-blocking games across the EU. Region locking, of course, has always been a headache for gamers, particularly those who live in regions where game prices typically run higher than those in other regions. It seems the European Commission wants this practice to end, at least within the confines of the EU.
The Nintendo Switch is about to get a big Resident Evil injection. Back in October, Capcom revealed that a grand total of three Resident Evil games are coming to Switch: Resident Evil 0, 1, and 4. Today, we're learning just when all three of those titles will release, and launch day is coming up pretty fast.
