Resident Evil Requiem and Street Fighter 6 to be shown off in Capcom Spotlight
Capcom is set to give fans a look at some of its most anticipated upcoming games, including Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, Street Fighter 6 and Monster Hunter Wilds
Capcom Spotlight, the upcoming showcase event, is set to reveal exciting updates on Resident Evil, Pragmata, Monster Hunter and more, offering a 40-minute sneak peek into these titles.
The next chapter of Resident Evil is about to unfold. Fans have been eagerly awaiting this moment, and Capcom has finally given us a glimpse of the forthcoming Resident Evil Requiem. This chilling return to Raccoon City's origins introduces a brand new protagonist and was unveiled during this summer's showcase season, much to the delight of fans.
Since the release of Village, which turned Lady Dimutrescu into an internet sensation, the franchise has been relatively quiet in terms of original titles. The announcement of a new Capcom Spotlight showcase, therefore, comes as thrilling news for fans who have been missing the series. And the good news doesn't stop at the horror title.
Capcom is gearing up for a digital event that will bring updates on both upcoming and existing titles from the company. This showcase promises to cater to a wide range of players, and with so much to anticipate, we're likely to see reveals that map out the future of several franchises. This includes Street Fighter 6, recently announced as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch title. But when exactly can we expect this show to kick off? Here's how to watch the Capcom Spotlight showcase.
How to watch the Capcom Spotlight showcase
The Capcom Spotlight start time is set for 3pm PDT / 6pm EDT / 11pm BST on Thursday, June 26. The announcement was made on Capcom's website, which also revealed that the showcase will be streamed with subtitles in 13 languages and can be viewed on YouTube.
We'll share the video stream as soon as Capcom makes it available.
The show is expected to run for approximately 40 minutes. Capcom has already disclosed that the programme will include the latest news and developer interviews related to Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, Street Fighter 6 Years 1-2 Fighters Edition, and the most recent update for Monster Hunter Wilds. There might also be some unexpected surprises, so don't switch off just because you're done with the first game it discusses.
This showcase promises to be a treat for fans, particularly those who have been eagerly awaiting news about the latest RE Engine titles. The future of Capcom – and Raccoon City – is set to unfold shortly.

ITV announces huge change to how fans can watch Emmerdale and Coronation Street
From the beginning of next week, soap fans will be able to watch Emmerdale and Coronation Street via a whole new service - leaving many fans rejoicing at the news Soap fans were both excited and confused when ITV announced a major change to their weekly output. For decades, fans have tuned in to watch new episodes of Emmerdale and Coronation Street on the channel when they air on week day evenings. But as of Monday 30 June, fans will be able to watch new episodes from the beginning of the day as they will be available to view online hours before they transmit via traditional transmission avenues. Taking to social media on Sunday, social media channels connected to the soaps shared exciting news with fan. The update revealed that new episodes will be available to watch via YouTube for the first time. The official Coronation Street Instagram page announced: "Soap fans, rejoice! "Starting tomorrow, full episodes will be available on YouTube from 7am — the same day they air on TV!" The update included an image showing Emmerdale and Corrie characters posing beneath logos of their respective soaps. The update thus caused some confusion - as some fans thought that the cast of the soaps were being merged. One follower remarked: "I literally thought Debbie was joining Emmerdale for a moment there!" And others were excited to learn that they would be able to watch their favourite soaps via a new format - as many complained the ITV app is nigh on unusable. One hopeful soap fan commented: "Nice I hate itvx with their [user interface] and 27 ads a ep." And another commented: "This is awesome news! Yayyy!" In recent months, ITV has announced a number of changes regarding the way Corrie and Emmerdale will be broadcast. In February it was revealed the schedule would be changed from the beginning of next year. A statement from the broadcaster explained: "From January 2026, Coronation Street and Emmerdale will move to a new scheduling pattern on ITV1, introducing a soaps power hour from Monday-Friday, with 30 minute Emmerdale episodes at 8pm, and 30 minute Coronation Street episodes at 8.30pm. Episodes will continue to drop at 7am on ITVX, before transmission that evening." ITV's Managing Director of Media and Entertainment Kevin Lygo said at the time:'The new commissioning pattern is viewer-led. We already give more choice than ever to viewers on how they watch us through ITVX and we want to present their favourite soap to them, in the most digestible way. 'In a world where there is so much competition for viewers' time and attention, and viewing habits continue to change, we believe this is the right amount of episodes that fans can fit into their viewing schedule, to keep up to date with the shows. 'Research insights also show us that soap viewers are increasingly looking to the soaps for their pacey storytelling. Streaming-friendly, 30 minute episodes better provide the opportunity to meet viewer expectations for storyline pace, pay-off and resolution. 'Whilst viewing is growing on ITVX, we know a significant proportion of our soaps' audience still watch us via the schedule. This new pattern is in the DNA of the soap genre - nobody else does 30 minute drama this successfully. It creates a soap power hour that's consistent, and easy to find in the linear schedule, for the UK's biggest soaps. 'This new commissioning pattern will mean five hours of soaps a week, rather than the current six. We are conscious this will have an impact for the people who work on the soaps team. We will support our colleagues in ITV Studios as they work through these changes, and will do what we can to mitigate the impact on our people. 'These changes are motivated by doing what we believe is best for the continuing success of these important programmes in the long term. They also create headroom in the overall programme budget for investment in programming that can help ITV grow reach in a very very competitive market.'

Katy Perry fans convinced she hinted at Orlando Bloom split last year
Katy Perry's fans think she may have hinted her relationship with Orlando Bloom was in trouble a year ago (Image: Getty Images for MTV) Fans of Katy Perry have uncovered possible signs she channeled her engagement breakdown into her latest album - suggesting her romance with Orlando Bloom could have been all but over last year. The 40--year-old American singer had been engaged to 48-year-old Bloom since 2016. The couple also welcomed a daughter named Daisy together - with the bundle of joy arriving in August 2020. However, reports this year suggested the couple have called time on their romance - and may have gone their separate ways weeks ago. Now fans have been examining the lyrics of songs featured on Katy's 2024 album 143 - including the break up song Truth. The lyrics of the track hint at a relationship ruined by disloyalty. Lyrics include: "I wanna know the truth / Even if it hurts me. I got a vision keepin' me up at night / My intuition's tellin' me things ain't right. "Can't look in the mirror, what is it you're tryna hide? / Can't give me your password to your phone, not start a fight / You're treating me different, tell me what's going through your mind?" Fans have been re-examining the lyrics of the songs she released in 2024 Katy's YouTube page has been buzzing with speculation as fans have been investigating the lyrics of the track. Taking to the comments of a video relating to the track Truth, one fan wrote: "Who's here after the breakup rumors?" Another typed: "So is this song about Orlando?" And a third commented: "Did he do something? Cause even back then I did think this song is so odd to be in a full love album." Earlier this month it was suggested Katy and Orlando had called time on their engagement and decided to split up. An insider claimed Katy's album 143 flopping impacted her relationship, with the source noting: "Orlando was supportive, but it caused some tension." Orlando has been spotted mingling with single women at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez (Image: GC Images) PageSix reported that the couple are waiting until her current tour, Lifetimes, concludes on December 7, before making their split public news. And since these reports emerged, Orlando has been spotted flirting with women at the wedding of Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez - which took place in Italy over the weekend. On Saturday, Katy shared a cryptic social media post that appeared to hint at her state of mind amid the reports of her relationship collapsing. Katy reposted a video from a digital guru who uses "the laws of the universe" to transform lives, suggesting that mastering these laws can "heal" one's life. In the shared clip, the guru stated, "The phase of the moon that was during your date of birth determines your purpose." Katy shared the video without adding any personal commentary, leaving fans to wonder if she was hinting at her own life's purpose. The video explained that those born during a Waning Crescent moon phase are here to "If you were born on a Waning Crescent, you are here to complete the mission that you feel. You are closing chapters no longer beneficial to the collective. You are laying groundwork for new beginnings. Your role is to be a savior to others." The singer also updated her fans with clips from her live performances, including a compilation from The Lifetimes Tour, showcasing her energetic stage presence. As she continues her international tour in Australia, she captioned her concert footage, "ONLY 4 SHOWS LEFT IN AUSTRALIA LFG ADELAIDE." With the tour keeping Katy in Australia, she was noticeably absent from Jeff and Lauren's wedding - despite the singer being a close friend of the couple. She even went to space with Lauren earlier this year on a rocket funded by Jeff's Blue Origin company. Like this story?

Fake, AI-generated videos about the Diddy trial are raking in millions of views on YouTube
This story was reported by Indicator, a publication that investigates digital deception, and co-published with the Guardian. Dozens of YouTube channels are mixing AI-generated images and videos with false claims about Sean 'Diddy' Combs's blockbuster trial to pull in tens of millions of views on YouTube and cash in on misinformation. Twenty-six channels generated nearly 70m views from roughly 900 AI-infused Diddy videos over the past 12 months, according to data gathered from YouTube. The channels appear to follow a similar formula. Each video typically has a title and AI-generated thumbnail that links a celebrity to Diddy via a false claim, such as that the celebrity just testified at the trial, that Diddy coerced that celebrity into a sexual act or that the celeb shared a shocking revelation about Diddy. The thumbnails often depict the celebrity on the stand juxtaposed with an image of Diddy. Some depict Diddy and the celebrity in a compromising situation. The vast majority of thumbnails use made-up quotes meant to shock people, such as 'F*CKED ME FOR 16 HOURS', 'DIDDY F*CKED BIEBER LIFE' and 'SHE SOLD HIM TO DIDDY'. Some of the channels going all-in on Diddy 'slop', a term that refers to low-quality media generated by artificial intelligence, have a history of making false claims about celebrities and of using AI-generated thumbnails. But most of the 26 channels appear to be either newly created or older channels that were repurposed. At least 20 channels were eligible to earn revenue from ads. False and sensationalized Diddy AI slop is an easy way to make money on YouTube right now, according to Wanner Aarts, who runs dozens of YouTube channels with AI-generated content and sells a course about how to make money on the platform. He said he's not personally cashing in on the Diddy trend. 'If you would say, 'Hey, how can I make $50,000 as soon as possible?' Number one would be like doing fucking drug [dealing], but number two would probably be to start a Diddy channel,' said Aarts, 25. Indicator reviewed hundreds of thumbnails and titles with false claims about Brad Pitt, Will Smith, Justin Bieber, Oprah Winfrey, Eddie Murphy, Leonardo DiCaprio, Dwayne 'the Rock' Johnson, 50 Cent, Joe Rogan and others. Strangely, one channel, Fame Fuel, posted 20 consecutive videos with AI-generated thumbnails and titles that make false claims about the US attorney general, Pam Bondi, and Diddy. One of the most successful channels is Peeper, which has over 74m views since being created in 2010, but has focused only on Diddy for at least eight months. Peeper has many of the most viral Diddy videos among the top misinformers, including a video with the false title 'Justin Bieber Exposes Will Smith, Diddy, and Clive Davis for Grooming Him'. It received 2.3m views. Peeper has now been demonetized. A channel called Secret Story switched to Diddy content after posting health and life advice in Vietnamese. Hero Story pivoted to Diddy after initially uploading videos about Ibrahim Traoré, the military ruler of Burkina Faso. A Brazilian channel that generated millions of views from embroidery videos switched to Diddy less than two weeks ago. And a channel called Celeb Buzz generated more than 1m views from 11 Diddy videos in less than three weeks. It was created in early 2018 but appears to have removed any previously uploaded videos. Secret Story and Hero Story were terminated by YouTube after inquiries from Indicator; Celeb Buzz was demonetized. In another example, roughly three weeks ago, the channel Pak Gov Update started uploading videos about Diddy that use AI-generated thumbnails with false quotes attributed to celebrities such as Usher and Jay-Z. One video is titled 'Jay-Z Breaks His Silence on Diddy Controversy' and features a thumbnail of Jay-Z crying and holding up a CD above the quote 'I WILL BE DEAD SOON'. The nearly 30-minute video, which uses clips from TV news and other sources and AI-generated narration, has 113,000 views. It does not contain any new information from Jay-Z, and the rapper never said the quote that is attributed to him. Pak Gov Update previously posted short, amateurish videos with clickbait titles about public pensions in Pakistan. Its biggest hit was a video called Big information! Senior Citizen Pension Scheme || fedaral Cabnet Big Development, which received a relatively modest 18,000 views. (Typos theirs.) Aarts said that the Diddy slop strategy is lucrative but risky. 'Most of these channels aren't going to survive,' he said, citing the likelihood of getting demonetized due to YouTube policy violations, or legal action from Diddy and other celebrities featured in thumbnails and videos. As with Pak Gov Update, most of the videos uploaded by the channels use AI-generated narration over real clips from news reports and other sources. Some also use AI images and, less frequently, synthetic video. The channels' use of real footage often appears to test the boundaries of fair use. AI slop is just one type of content that you can find about the Diddy trial on YouTube. But it appears to be a growing and lucrative niche. Similar Diddy AI content is also racking up engagement on TikTok. YouTube spokesperson Jack Malon said in an email: 'We terminated several channels shared by Indicator for violating our terms of service and policies covering spam.' Malon said the company removed 16 channels, including Fame Fuel. YouTube also appears to have demonetized several channels, such as Pak Gov Update. Sign up to TechScape A weekly dive in to how technology is shaping our lives after newsletter promotion The Diddy craze is the result of two intertwined trends in YouTube hustling: automation and faceless channels. YouTube automation hinges on the idea that anyone can build a successful YouTube business with the right niche and a low-cost video creation process. Just find a topic that people want to watch videos about, brainstorm ideas and hire overseas editors to pump out content at a nearly automated pace. Thanks to AI, it's easier than ever to pursue the dream of faceless automation. Aarts said that anyone can create a script with ChatGPT or another large language model, generate images and thumbnails with Midjourney or similar models, use Google Veo 3 for video, and finish the process with a tool like ElevenLabs to create an AI voiceover. Then hire freelancers in the Philippines or elsewhere to edit the video, he said. 'AI has opened up a lot more for people with lower budgets to enter YouTube automation,' Aarts said, noting that it's possible to pay less than $10 per video. He said he earns more than $130,000 month from more than 45 channels. Muhammad Salman Abazai, who runs AS Venturer, a Pakistani company that provides video editing and YouTube channel management services, said that Diddy videos have become a 'proper niche' on YouTube. Abazai showed off a few Diddy videos that his team created and uploaded to a luxury/wealth channel they run for a client. 'It was a success for us because we got a lot of boost from that, we got subscribers from this,' he said. The pivot to Diddy doesn't just work in English. A Spanish-language channel called NV Historia launched in January and had seen sporadic success with completely AI-generated videos about celebrities. Its first hit was a video with a title that translates to 'A teacher laughs at a Black girl for saying her father is Chuck Norris – until he walks into the classroom'. It received just over 140,000 views. NV Historia pumped out Chuck Norris slop until views began to taper off about a month ago. That's when the channel uploaded its first Diddy video. Its title translates to '1 MINUTE AGO: Nobody expected Dwayne Johnson to say THIS in court about Diddy … ' The thumbnail uses AI-generated images of the Rock and Diddy in court, as well as an image of the former wrestler being forced to eat what appears to be a brain. The thumbnail features the quote 'He forced me to eat it.' Johnson has not testified and is not linked to any of Diddy's alleged illegal activities. The video has received more than 200,000 views. NV Historia posted a video falsely linking Oprah Winfrey and other celebrities to Diddy the next day, earning 45,000 views. It went all in on Diddy content after that. YouTube has since demonetized NV Historia. A French-language channel, StarBuzzFR, launched in May and appears to only upload Diddy content. It uses AI-generated thumbnails and voiceovers to spin false stories, including that Brad Pitt testified against Diddy and said that he was sexually abused by the mogul. StarBuzzFR is particularly fond of using AI-generated, sexualized images of Diddy and celebs like Pitt. The channel is still monetized as of this writing. Aarts said the general attitude among the YouTube faceless/automation community is that anyone who can figure out a way to make money deserves respect. 'I have nothing to say other than congratulations to those people that are able to pull something like it off,' he said.
