Capcom, the publisher behind three successful games this year including Resident Evil Requiem, Pragmata, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword, is set to open its first U.S. retail store. This pop-up shop will be located in Little Akihabara, nestled within Little Tokyo, Los Angeles. The grand opening is scheduled for September 19, offering attendees a chance to play the upcoming Mega Man: Dual Override.
On opening day, the first fifty shoppers will receive a limited-edition handkerchief commemorating the Tokyo Game Show, featuring popular Capcom games. The pop-up store, situated at 319 E 2nd St. #122, will operate from noon to 7pm until October 18. The merchandise available includes plushies, t-shirts, keychains, and more.
The company has also hinted at additional features, such as life-size statues of beloved characters from Street Fighter and Mega Man, along with further playable demos of other Capcom games. Capcom has had a prosperous year, with Resident Evil Requiem selling over 7 million units, Pragmata achieving 2 million units in just over two weeks, and Onimusha: Way of the Sword receiving a perfect 10 out of 10 review score from IGN.
Looking ahead, Capcom aims to re-activate dormant IPs that have been idle for some time, potentially introducing games like Dino Crisis, Dead Rising, or Lost Planet.
