Summer Fest 2025 just ended, and the gaming world is still buzzing. Two giants clearly dominated the event: Resident Evil and Street Fighter. If you’re a fan, you’re in for a treat. This year’s announcements promise to shake up the gaming scene in ways we didn’t expect.
More thrills, fresh stories, and new ways to play your favorite games. Capcom isn’t just recycling old ideas — they’re bringing something bold and original.
Resident Evil: Requiem — A New Nightmare in Summer Fest 2025
Capcom dropped a bombshell with Resident Evil: Requiem. This isn’t a remake or a sequel; it’s a brand new story that sticks to the survival horror roots the series is famous for.
The game stars Grace Ashcroft, a survivor with a mysterious past. She’s not your typical hero — think more “smart scavenger” than “muscle-bound soldier.” Her skills include hunting for ammo and solving puzzles, perfect for the kind of tense, edge-of-your-seat gameplay fans love.

And forget Raccoon City — Requiem moves to a creepy, foggy town in the Appalachian Mountains. It feels like if Silent Hill and Resident Evil had a baby. The trailer teased new monsters and a virus that might be even worse than the old T-Virus. Scarce supplies, creepy environments, and mental horror are all part of the package. Honestly, it looks terrifying in the best way possible.
Street Fighter 6: Fresh Faces Join the Fight
Street Fighter 6 is already killing it, but Summer Fest 2025 revealed four new characters. Capcom is keeping their identities secret, but gameplay hints are fueling tons of speculation.
Here’s what we know: one fighter blends Wing Chun and Jeet Kune Do — think lightning-fast strikes. Another is a massive grappler who throws down with pro wrestling moves. There’s also a nimble aerial fighter and a mysterious, cloaked figure with a glowing staff.
There’s no better time to join the fight! 🥊

Both Resident Evil and Street Fighter showed they’re ready to push boundaries. With new characters and stories, the future looks bright. Whether you’re into horror or fighting games, this event proved Capcom knows how to keep fans on their toes.
