Joining the ranks of other major video game companies, Capcom has now announced its E3 2019 plans.
The Japanese video game company will mostly be focusing on two games for their live stage: Monster Hunter World, specifically the upcoming Iceborne DLC, and exhibition matches for its Street Fighter League. The schedule seems devoid of any interesting game announcements, though. However, there are still quite a few days left before E3, so we may yet hear about any possible announcements beforehand, or be in for a nice surprise during their live stage presentations. Whatever works, honestly.
Capcom will have its own booth at South Hall, #2323. If you’re going to E3 this year, it may be worth your while to check it out, as Capcom promises some very interesting and exciting demos in store for those who stop by.
The star of Capcom’s E3 2019 demo booths this year is of course the upcoming Iceborne expansion for Monster Hunter World. Going by the Capcom Unity blog, there’ll be a “monstrous” amount of multiplayer demo stations for the game, which should give players a chance to have some hands-on experience with the massive upcoming expansion. The main quests featured in the demos are ‘Hunt a Banbaro’ and ‘Hunt a Tigrex,’ which will allow your Hunter to explore the Hoarfrost Reach for the very first time.
If you can’t make it to the event, then there’s no need to worry, as Capcom has also set the dates for some Iceborne demos to be played on their Live Stage. These three days worth of events will be livestreamed on Capcom's Twitch channels, which is great for those who can’t come to the event physically.

As an early E3 gift from Capcom, the blog also mentioned a surprise incoming on June 6, which relates to the special guests onstage during the June 12 demo for Monster Hunter World: Iceborne. While we have no idea as to what this surprise may be, it’s important to note that the Stadia Connect presentation is also airing on the same date. This may very well be related, and we might end up seeing Monster Hunter World on the Google Stadia, if the events are of any note.
That said, we still have to wait for official confirmations from both parties. Expect us to cover the news as soon as it develops tomorrow.
