We’re back with another Capcom Spotlight presentation, this time focusing on new content for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection, a deeper dive into the newly revealed Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, and a new look at Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
Here’s a summary of what you need to know.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflections
New content for Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection launches today, with the arrival of paid DLC, Additional Side Story: Rudy, as well as a free update that adds powerful endgame challenges.
Fans of Monster Hunter Stories and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin will recognize the return of Navirou, who once traveled with the protagonist in each game, and is the ancestor of the Royal Felyne, Rudy.
Additional Side Stories: Rudy digs deeper into Navirou’s fate over the past 200 years, bringing his ancestors and descendants together in an unexpected twist.
Nergigante, the iconic flagship monster from Monster Hunter: World, returns as a formidable threat in this DLC. This destructive Elder Dragon is a bit too rowdy to tame as a Monstie, but you can expect an impressive challenge when you take on this spiky predator in a climactic battle.
How will Rudy, Navirou and the crew overcome the power of extinct dragons?
Additional Side Stories: Rudy is available as standalone DLC as well as part of the Deluxe Edition and Premium Deluxe edition. Check out the PlayStation Store and see what awaits you in this new adventure.
Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection is also receiving a free update that adds a powerful end-game challenge called Royal Monsters. Riders can load their completed save file and take on a more difficult version of the final boss. Defeat the final boss of this version, and the world will be inhabited by powerful Royal Monsters. You can also test your limits further by facing invasive monster versions of the Royal Monster and the Elder Dragon of Calamity.
New details about Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen
Two years after the original release of Dragon’s Dogma 2, the grand fantasy adventure has returned as Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen. Improved with a major update and the Dark Arisen Expansion, Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen arrives as a bundle pack for new players, and as a standalone expansion on October 9.
During Capcom Spotlight, Director Kento Kinoshita – who also directed the original Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen – shared the team’s desire to fulfill fans’ requests to continue exploring the world of Dragon’s Dogma 2 further. With that in mind, the team invites players to a mysterious and cold new northern region called Norgan. You will uncover the story behind the Fallen Dragon, which takes on a terrifying form with a missing heart, along with its pursuer, a mysterious woman named Eir.
In the Norgan area, the addictive gameplay first established in Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen returns as the Relic Expedition Cycle. Fight against tough enemies and collect relics, then bring them back to be refined into more powerful weapons and armor. Powerful treasure awaits in every adventure during your quest in Norgan.
Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen also introduces 12 new unique dungeons called Lost Rites. Rare equipment once owned by Arisen in the past awaits you in this dungeon challenge, which takes place in the existing world of Dragon’s Dogma 2. Additional hairstyle and tattoo options also come along with this expansion, bringing greater variety to the versatile character creation options.
The base game of Dragon’s Dogma 2 was recently updated with various quality of life features as well. Leading up to the expansion’s launch, we will release a second free update in late August that adds further gameplay improvements highly requested by players, such as additional save slots, increasing weapon skill slots from four to six, and performance improvements.
Pre-orders start today on PS5 in most regions and will roll out to all countries in early July. Those who pre-order will receive the Norgan Fashion Set – Northern Attire, which can be obtained whether you pre-order the bundle or the standalone expansion. Those who pre-order the bundle will immediately get access to the Dragon’s Dogma 2 base game.
Whether you’re a new Arisen or returning to adventure in Norgan, we can’t wait for you to experience what awaits in Dragon’s Dogma 2: Dark Arisen coming to PS5, October 9.
A new enemy is revealed in Onimusha: Way of the Sword
The newest swordplay action game in Capcom’s hit series is coming soon with Onimusha: Way of the Sword. The iconic samurai sword game series that first debuted on the PlayStation 2 returns with a new entry for the first time in 20 years, delivering its signature blend of satisfying samurai action and dark fantasy.
Take protagonist Miyamoto Musashi’s katana, killed by a strange creature called Genma, and suddenly revived with the power of a mysterious Oni. Now wearing the Oni Gauntlets, Musashi seeks his reason to fight amidst hordes of powerful Genma in a warped, dark fantasy version of Edo-era Kyoto.
During Capcom Spotlight, Director Satoru Nihei revealed a glimpse of a powerful new Genma enemy: Dohatsu-ten. See this terrifying new enemy for yourself.
Dohatsu-ten is a powerful enemy boss with strength and speed on his side, relentlessly attacking our protagonist Miyamoto Musashi with fast and powerful moves. What is unique about Genma is the bloodthirsty nature of his sword, which becomes even stronger when stained with Musashi’s blood. Beware of his surging power as he absorbs souls and becomes more dangerous.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches on PS5 this September. Experience early in-game action for free demo on the PlayStation Store!
PakarPBN
A Private Blog Network (PBN) is a collection of websites that are controlled by a single individual or organization and used primarily to build backlinks to a “money site” in order to influence its ranking in search engines such as Google. The core idea behind a PBN is based on the importance of backlinks in Google’s ranking algorithm. Since Google views backlinks as signals of authority and trust, some website owners attempt to artificially create these signals through a controlled network of sites.
In a typical PBN setup, the owner acquires expired or aged domains that already have existing authority, backlinks, and history. These domains are rebuilt with new content and hosted separately, often using different IP addresses, hosting providers, themes, and ownership details to make them appear unrelated. Within the content published on these sites, links are strategically placed that point to the main website the owner wants to rank higher. By doing this, the owner attempts to pass link equity (also known as “link juice”) from the PBN sites to the target website.
The purpose of a PBN is to give the impression that the target website is naturally earning links from multiple independent sources. If done effectively, this can temporarily improve keyword rankings, increase organic visibility, and drive more traffic from search results.
