Hideaki Itsuno, the renowned director behind iconic titles like Devil May Cry and Dragons Dogma, has embarked on an exciting new journey by establishing a second branch of his studio in Osaka. This move not only signifies a fresh start for Itsuno after over 30 years at Capcom but also highlights his commitment to creating original AAA game titles, a rarity in the current gaming landscape. The new studio has already made waves by hiring key veterans from the Devil May Cry and Street Fighter franchises, including narrative designer Toshihiro Nakagawa and character artist Daigo Ikeno.

In a surprising turn of events, Capcom has announced that some highly anticipated endgame content for Monster Hunter Wilds will be arriving earlier than expected. Originally slated for Title Update 3 in September, this new content will now be included in the Version 1.021 update set for August 13. This update promises to enhance the gameplay experience significantly, particularly for players eager for more challenges after completing the main storyline.
