Monster Hunter Wilds is almost here, with Capcom having recently announced the second and final open beta test set to take place before its launch next month. While we don’t yet have a date for this beta, Capcom has now announced a Spotlight Stream set to go live next week – featuring the much-anticipated Monster Hunter Wilds, Onimusha and more.
Taking to Twitter, the official Capcom USA page announced their next Nintendo Direct-styled online showcase (Capcom Spotlight) writing:
“Tune in live on Feb. 4 at 2pm PT for Capcom doubleheader! Join us for a 20-minute Capcom Spotlight followed immediately by a 15-minute Monster Hunter Wilds Showcase!”
The general Capcom Spotlight will feature new information and updates on Onimusha: Way of the Sword; Street Fighter 6; Capcom Fighting Collection 2; and MARVEL vs. CAPCOM Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics.
The Monster Hunter Wilds presentation meanwhile will unsurprisingly feature a brand new trailer, alongside details on the previously-announced second beta test.
Typically with Capcom Spotlights, what you see is what you get, and so don’t expect any major surprise announcements. Still, it is exciting to finally be hearing more about the second beta test for Monster Hunter Wilds – and given the fact that the game is under a month away, its arrival could be imminent.
KitGuru says: Will you tune into the Capcom Spotlight? When do you think beta 2 will go live? What do you hope to see from Onimusha? Let us know down below.

With the game just one month out from release, it seems the hype has reached an all-time high, as Monster Hunter Wilds has now become the most wishlisted upcoming game on the platform.
Going to Steam’s ‘most wishlisted’ section sees Capcom’s upcoming Monster Hunter Wilds sitting pretty in first place, overtaking the years long hype for Hollow Knight Silksong as well as Valve’s upcoming multiplayer project Deadlock. Rounding out the top 5 are Civilization VII and Elden Ring Nightreign.
Ever since the release of Monster Hunter World back in 2017, the franchise has quickly grown to become one of Capcom’s biggest, with the aforementioned World becoming the publisher's best selling game of all time at more than 20 million copies sold – and its follow-up ‘Rise’ taking second place with 16 million sales.
Given the ever-increasing hype and awareness for the Monster Hunter franchise, Capcom could have a record breaking hit on their hands when Wilds releases on the 28th of February.

Apple took a big swing with their iPhone 15 series of phones, introducing a renewed focus on gaming with the announcement of iOS ports for a number of major AAA titles. Unfortunately, all of these games, including multiple Resident Evil releases, underperformed pretty significantly. It seems little has changed in the months since, with Capcom’s latest mobile port for RE2 Remake reportedly bringing in just over $100k.
As reported by MobileGamer.biz, the latest AAA title to come to iOS – Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 Remake – has brought in just over $100,000 since it launched on the platform back in December of last year.
According to the publication, during the game’s first 4 weeks on sale (in which it was discounted heavily to just $10), RE2 Remake brought in a total of $95K from 9500 purchases (via Appmagic).
In the week since, the game has seen these modest sales figures drop significantly, with the return to its full $40 price tag having tempted just 175 additional players – for an extra $7k in revenue.
While it’s impressive to see these modern AAA games running on a smartphone, it seems as though a majority of players aren’t comfortable enough yet to switch to mobile as their gaming platform of choice. Perhaps in time this will change.
KitGuru says: Are you surprised by the performance of these ports? Do you think Capcom expected higher sales for these games? Could AAA gaming be viable on a smartphone? Let us know your thoughts down below.
