Capcom is keeping the momentum going for its horror lineup. According to a recent social media update from director Koshi Nakanishi, reported by IGN South Africa, the team behind Resident Evil Requiem is already deep into production on both a story expansion and new mini-game DLC. While Capcom has kept specific details under wraps, the community is already betting on a return of the beloved Mercenaries arcade mode, which has long been a staple of post launch content for the franchise. It is a welcome move for players who treat single player campaigns as living spaces that warrant ongoing support and replayability.
Meanwhile, Nintendo has locked in a release date for its next colorful platformer. Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is scheduled to launch on May 21, bringing fresh cooperative and family friendly gameplay to the ecosystem. Whether you are playing on a high end PC setup, a home console, or on the go via cloud streaming, the spring lineup is shaping up to offer a solid mix of high tension survival horror and lighter platforming.
On the live service front, Epic Games is adjusting the financial plumbing behind Fortnite. The studio has confirmed upcoming changes to the game economy that will raise the real world price of V Bucks while simultaneously lowering the V Buck cost of the seasonal Battle Pass. Epic stated that these adjustments are necessary to maintain the ongoing development and scaling of the platform. For players who carefully budget their digital currency and seasonal progression, these shifts require a fresh look at how to get the most value out of your in game investments.
