Coming off of January, game industry news is flowing as massive company acquisitions fade into the background. Nintendo and Sony have released their first digital presentations of the year, and the second half of February will be full of gaming news for everything from Dragon Ball to Digimon. Giant titles are also rolling out, with Pokemon Legends: Arceus opening the floodgates for Dying Light 2, Horizon Forbidden West, and Elden Ring. Despite industry-wide setbacks caused by the pandemic, 2022 is set to be a monumental year for gaming, and it seems Capcom could follow suit.
Capcom’s roadmap currently consists only of Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak’s summer release. The company is normally very busy supporting several franchises at once, so this silence is deafening. However, something big is coming at the beginning of next week. Capcom has established a “Capcom Countdown” website with a timer that seems to end around 12:00 a.m. EST going into February 21. This website is full of possibilities, and fans are already coming up with a list of theories and hopes.

Now is as good a time as ever to reveal the much-anticipated remake, and Capcom is primed for a strong year if it does.
