On July 1, 2024, Capcom hosted its Capcom Next Summer 2024 event. The 25-minute presentation, which began at 3 PM PT, showcased three highly anticipated games: Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, and Resident Evil 7 for iOS and Mac.
One of the major highlights was the announcement of Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster. Originally released in 2006, this zombie action game has been given a significant visual overhaul using the RE Engine. The remaster promises enhanced graphics and improved gameplay mechanics, making it look more like a full-fledged remake rather than a simple remaster.
The remaster’s release date is set for September 19, 2024. Fans can expect a thrilling return to the classic zombie-smashing experience with updated visuals and features that align with modern gaming standards.
Capcom also unveiled more details about Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, which is set to release on July 19, 2024. This game is described as a Japanese-inspired single-player action strategy game. Players will find themselves on a mountain plagued by defilement, requiring them to purify villages during the day and defend a maiden from hordes of enemies at night. The game follows a cycle of cleansing and protecting until the mountain is free from defilement.

The mobile port of Resident Evil 7 also highlights Capcom’s commitment to expanding its games’ accessibility.
Overall, the event was a success, generating buzz and anticipation for the upcoming releases. Gamers are now eagerly waiting for September 19 to dive back into the chaotic world of Dead Rising and July 19 to explore the mystical challenges of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess.
