Resident Evil Requiem headlines the next Capcom Spotlight livestream
Capcom is also promoting Monster Hunter Wilds and Street Fighter 6 as featured games, so expect new information on updates or fresh content for those existing titles in the showcase. We already know that the Title 2 Update for Monster Hunter Wilds is due at the end of the month, which will add new monsters and a new seasonal event.
The last Capcom Spotlight took place in February, where Capcom announced the remaster of Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny. We wouldn't expect any new game announcements this time, but it could happen. More exciting is the possibility of new footage of Resident Evil Requiem, which was arguably the biggest announcement of SGF 2025. We know we'll be playing as a new character, named Grace Ashcroft, and that you'll be able to choose between a first and third-person perspective throughout the game.
Engadget's Mat Smith got to play Pragmata at SGF, where he called it a 'satisfying sci-fi shooter' and came away impressed by the elegance of its dual-protagonist gameplay. Capcom first announced the game way back in 2020, so it's a long time coming.
The next Capcom Spotlight livestream will kick off on June 26 at 6pm ET.

How to watch Summer Games Done Quick 2025
In a mad, mad world, speedruns for charity can be a calm oasis. Summer Games Done Quick (SGDQ) has your fix with the 2025 edition of the marathon. You can tune in starting on Sunday, July 6. As usual, the lineup includes loads of fun games and bonkers challenges. It's fitting that this year's lineup includes a Switch 2 game. On the event's last day, the speedrunner Peas will take on Mario Kart World on the new console. Perhaps to commemorate the new console's launch, Nintendo is everywhere at this event. There are three Zelda games on tap: Majora's Mask , Phantom Hourglass and Link's Awakening . The company's plumber mascot is peppered all over the place, too. You'll find Mario Kart: Super Circuit , Super Mario Odyssey , Mario Paint and the Super Mario World hack, Sayonara Mario World 2 . (Not done yet!) There's also Super Mario Maker 2 , Super Mario Bros. 3 and Super Mario 64 . There's plenty of non-Nintendo stuff, too. The week kicks off with an "All Emeralds Glitched" run of Sonic the Hedgehog 2 . One of Engadget's all-time favorites, Balatro , has a run scheduled on July 11. Indiana Jones and the Great Circle makes an appearance. And two speedrunning legends will try to beat Cuphead during an allotted 35 minutes. (Say what??!) Anyone who can finish that bloodbath in less than that should be named the leader of the free world. Andy "j0kerr" Sturm / Games Done Quick The event will raise funds for Doctors Without Borders. The humanitarian nonprofit has a legion of nearly 63,000 medical personnel. It offers medical and humanitarian care in over 70 countries. Last summer's event raised $2.5 million. To date, Games Done Quick events have raised over $50 million for charity. SGDQ 2025 runs from July 6 to 13. If you're in or near Minneapolis, you can register to attend in person. Otherwise, you can stream the festivities on the SGDQ Twitch channel, which is also embedded below. This embedded content is not available in your region.

Crunchyroll's lazy AI subtitles have anime fans furious
At the start of last year, Crunchyroll President Rahul Purini told The Verge the company was "very focused on testing" generative AI tools for subtitling and captioning speech to text. The comment came just months after the streamer temporarily took down the debut episode of one of its newest shows, The Yuzuki Family's Four Sons, after people complained about poor subtitles. Much of the translation was nonsensical, with missing punctuation in many sentences. At the time, some fans speculated the company had used AI to translate the episode. Now there appears to be definitive proof Crunchyroll is using ChatGPT to translate new anime episodes, and the results are about as bad as you would expect. On July 1, Bluesky user Pixel spotted that the German subtitles for Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show , one of the new series Crunchyroll is streaming this anime season, read "ChatGPT said..." during a pivotal scene in the show's debut episode. Engadget was able to independently verify the episode contains the AI-generated translation. If you're curious, the English subtitles aren't much better, as seen in the screenshots above and below. Crunchyroll did not immediately respond to Engadget's comment request. People are understandably upset about the subtitles. Crunchyroll subscriptions start at $8 per month, and since its acquisition by Sony, the service is the dominant player outside of Japan. "This is not acceptable. How can we be expected to pay for a service that clearly doesn't care about the quality of its products?" wrote Pixel in their original post. As of the writing of this article, their post has been quoted more than 300 times and reposted by thousands of other people. Many fans say they're turning to torrented fansubs, calling the official AI-generated translations "unwatchable." Ironically, when Purini revealed Crunchyroll was testing generative AI tools for subtitles, he said part of the motivation was to prevent piracy. He reasoned the tech would allow the company to start streaming new, translated anime episodes as close to their original Japanese release as possible, adding the lag between official releases was sometimes what pushed fans to torrent shows.

David Dastmalchian Cast as M. Bison in Legendary's New STREET FIGHTER Movie — GeekTyrant
David Dastmalchian has officially scored a big role as the iconic villain M. Bison in Legendary's upcoming live-action Street Fighter movie, based on Capcom's awesome video game franchise. Legendary hasn't commented, but this is a massive gig for Dastmalchian, who's built a killer résumé over the past two decades with the projects he's starred in, and he's going to be great in this role! The actor recently appeared in Mike Flanagan's The Life of Chuck , and gave an impressive performance in the horror film Late Night with the Devil . While plot details for Street Fighter are still being kept under wraps, anyone familiar with the games knows that M. Bison is the main puppet master. He's the ruthless head of Shadaloo, a global criminal syndicate involved in weapons trafficking, mind control, and good old-fashioned world domination. In the lore, he's also the force behind the global martial arts tournament that sets the stage for the series. Dastmalchian isn't new to villainy as he's set to appear as Mr. 3 in One Piece Season 2, has a role in Dexter: Resurrection , and recently co-starred in Apple's Murderbot series with Alexander Skarsgård. But stepping into the role of M. Bison puts him at the center of one of gaming's most legendary franchises. Joining Dastmalchian in the Street Fighter lineup are Andrew Koji, Noah Centineo, Jason Momoa, Roman Reigns, Orville Peck, Curtis '50 Cent' Jackson, and Andrew Schulz. Bad Trip director Kitao Sakurai is helming the project. Dastmalchian continues to stay busy and he's currently filming the psychological thriller Kodak SuperXX alongside Kelly Marie Tran, and he's also part of Bryan Fuller's upcoming horror project Dust Bunny. Dastmalchian is sure to bring the intensity, unpredictability, and depth that could turn M. Bison into a genuinely compelling on-screen villain. What do you think about his casting? Source: Deadline
