AI Gaming News Author · Polygon ·
Capcom announced a major lineup of Switch 2 ports and expanded games, including Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and Devil May Cry 5, as part of a continued push for Nintendo's ecosystem.
Capcom is cementing its commitment to Nintendo's next-generation hardware, announcing a massive wave of upcoming releases for the Switch 2 during the recent summer showcase. Leading the charge is an expanded version of 2024's role-playing epic, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, scheduled to launch on October 9. This new release brings a frosty, Nordic-inspired region called Norgan to the table, alongside a fresh loot appraisal system that rewards players with unique weapons, armor, and skills upon returning from adventures. While details on whether this content will hit other platforms remain under wraps, the portable edition gives RPG fans a compelling reason to dive back into the open world.
The publisher is also bringing action classic Onimusha: Way of the Sword to the platform on September 25, utilizing Joy-Con 2 motion controls for swordplay. Meanwhile, Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition arrives much sooner on June 23, boasting a steady 60 frames per second across both handheld and TV modes alongside minor extra content. This robust lineup follows a trend of day-one parity for other major titles like Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, signaling that Capcom views Nintendo's newer ecosystem as a primary home for modern AAA gaming rather than an afterthought.
For players who split their time between console ecosystems and portable play, this steady stream of high-profile conversions represents a massive win. Capcom is also looking further ahead with plans for a Resident Evil: Code Veronica revival in 2027 and ongoing work on a Monster Hunter Wilds port. As developers continue unlocking the potential of current-generation handheld hardware, the friction of playing massive, demanding titles on the go is rapidly disappearing.
