Capcom
We have a list of everything Capcom will have out at SDCC this year coving all the Capcom IPs from Resident Evil to Mega Man to Street Fighter
Heads up for all of you Capcom fans out there as they are bringing many of their games to San Diego Comic-Con this year through both demos, panels, and autograph sessions. It will not be all of their titles, of course, but it looks like the focus will be on the Resident Evil 2 remake, Mega Man 11, and the Mega Man X Collection that are all coming in the next six months at different times. Also, it looks like Street Fighter will have its presence out at the event but not in a gameplay demo kind of way. It would be odd if Capcom did not have something for that IP during one of the bigger fan events out there.
It does not look like Capcom will be off-site at all for this year's SDCC so you may be at a loss if you cannot get into the main hall at all. Their panels look to be on Thursday and Friday of the event and all in the same room so there is little chance of missing any one of them if you are open to spending a good chunk of time sitting in a dark room and watching the teams talk about their games. I will say that it will be nice to see the extras for Resident Evil 2 that Capcom is semi-teasing for the panel. Have a look at the full list down below so you can try and plan accordingly for your week or weekend.
Demos
Resident Evil 2 (Available January 25, 2019) — Once again, enter the survival horror when Resident Evil 2 comes to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC!

Do you think that Capcom will have something truly new for Resident Evil 2 that was not shown at E3 or will it all be the same? Does this get you all excited for Mega Man 11 or the collection or will you just look for the games when they launch? Will you be fighting to get an autograph from the many members of the Capcom team that will be on site? Let us all know down in the comments. We will be out at SDCC this year coving the floor as best that we can. Keep a close eye on the site and our social feeds to see it all play out live.
