Capcom, the legendary Japanese video game company that has created fan-favorite games like the Resident Evil series, Monster Hunter, and Mega Man, continues to partner with the streaming platform Twitch to broaden the community of online game lovers. In particular, these two companies have curated special events surrounding the release of the newly released Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess and the Game Awards 2023 Fighting Game of the Year, Street Fighter 6. The exciting games are set to provide gamers with a plethora of action, storytelling, and sensational characters.

Below, we explore the launch of these two games and what that entails for the collaboration between Capcom and Twitch.

The Legacy of Capcom: Pioneers in the Gaming World

Capcom has held gamers' interest for more than 40 years, initially starting in 1983 as a producer/distributor of electronic gaming machines that were widely acknowledged as a popular entertainment medium. The name Capcom is an abbreviation of CAPSule COMputer, a phrase symbolic of an internal company objective to create a new gaming experience that would exceed that of rival personal computers which had also been increasing in popularity during the same period. With the many popular games and various highly creative software contents released by Capcom through the years, this goal has been reached many times through!

In 1983, Capcom released its first two coin-operated arcade games, "Little League" and "Fever Chance," paving the way for the launch of Capcom's first arcade video game, "Vulgus," in 1984. From there the company continued releasing arcade games like "Commando" and "Ghosts'n Goblins," eventually releasing "1942" for the Nintendo Entertainment System (NES), the company's first home video game. In 1987, the first arcade version of "Street Fighter" was released, with mega-hit “Street Fighter II” releasing in 1992 on the NES, leading to many Street Fighter-related games and other entertainment properties in the years ahead. Each of these cornerstones helped cement Capcom's reputation as a leading game producer in the gaming industry, which remains the company's reputation today.

Capcom and Twitch

Beginning in 2014, Capcom and Twitch announced a partnership that focused on the Street Fighter games, creating a league for gamers that culminates in a Capcom Cup at the end of the year. This partnership has created an environment for streamers and viewers who enjoy Capcom's popular fighting game to become friends through the curation of an online community. Since then, the brands have continued collaborating on various events and projects, with Twitch featuring streams of various Capcom games throughout the year. This partnership has allowed the gaming community and Capcom fan group to grow even further as more people discover and play the online games available.

Celebrating Street Fighter 6's Epic Launch

Released in June of 2023 and garnering 3+ million downloads/purchases, Street Fighter 6 offers an exciting modern take of the beloved game. While you'll find classic characters, like Guile, Blanka, and E.Honda, you'll also find new characters such as Lily, Kimberly, and Manon to battle with. Developed with Capcom's RE Engine, Street Fighter 6 boasts stunning visuals and fluid gameplay.

Players can choose from the game’s three main modes: Fighting Ground, World Tour, or Battle Hub. Fighting Ground offers traditional fighting gameplay, but in various difficulty levels: Classic, Modern and Dynamic control schemes for all to enjoy regardless of skill level. With World Tour mode, players can create their own avatar and embark on an adventure to explore the story lore within the Street Fighter universe. In the final mode Battle Hub, players can meet up with fighters from around the world. These new features have impressed Street Fighter fans, devoted fan to a newcomer, on the updated classic character designs, enhanced visuals, and comprehensive ability to master their favorite characters in the game.

Countdown to 'Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess': What Gamers Need to Know

While Street Fighter 6 was released in 2023, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is set to release on July 19, 2024. From the team that brought us Shinsekai: Into the Depths, a more experimental take on the Metroidvania genre, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess blends the distinct genres of action, strategy, tower defense and more to create a new unique hybrid of styles. Dubbed “Kagura action-strategy” the game challenges you to be as fast on your reflexes as you are on your read of the battlefield and strategic thinking of how to position your allies.

In a storybook setting of an ancient Japan that never was, the great Mt. Kafuku has succumbed to the negative influences of defilement and has corrupted the entire mountain, leaving the villagers who reside there in turmoil. Taking up the sword as Soh, the guardian of the maiden Yoshiro, you must guide her through the defilement and defeat the manifestation as the creatures known as the Seethe. During the day, guide Yoshiro along her path and rescue and recruit villagers to fight on your behalf, for as day turns to night, the Seethe emerge and relentlessly attempt to corrupt Yoshiro.

Exploring the Mythology and Gameplay of 'Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess'

The fantasy world of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is highly inspired by the folktales and culture of Japan’s distant past. Various elements from style of dress to the world’s architecture and enemy design pull from different works of classical art. The team blends in modern artistic flourishes to create a modern mythology unique entirely to itself.

From the iconic Torii gates from which the Seethe emerge each night, to the Seethe themselves being inspired from tales of ghosts and the Japanese ‘yokai’, to the way in which both Soh and Yoshiro dance and fight, there isn’t a single aspect of this game that wasn’t directly handcrafted and informed by the modern observance of Japanese culture and history.

As you progress through the game, you will discover various masks that will unlock additional roles for your villager allies. From the hardy Woodcutter to the devoted Aesthetic and the nimble Thief, each will unlock new layers of strategy to employ, and you’ll need to make the best of each one as you command them through each challenge.

Food and Culture in 'Street Fighter 6'

In the exciting World Tour mode, your avatar not only explores the Street Fighter world but also interacts with it in meaningful ways. One example of the available interactions is the ability to purchase food for your avatar. Consuming these items boosts your avatar’s vitality and provides temporary enhancements.

Depending on the food shop you explore, you'll find a variety of options, from ethnic delicacies to comfort foods. Explore options like apple pie, tanuki udon, tandoori chicken, and chicken udon. The inclusion of these authentic foods from locations like Japan and India provides a peek into the local culture, even in a fantasy world.

Exclusive Bokksu Snack Bundles for 'Street Fighter 6'

Since Street Fighter 6 features an array of authentic snacks, it's only fitting for Bokksu to offer bundles aligning with the culinary offerings of the video game. This bundle is inspired by the characters' favorite flavors, snacks, and treats, allowing you to become even more intertwined with this video game.

With two options available (regular and premium), expect an array of sweet and savory treats ranging from traditional to modern. With the option to dig into instant ramen noodles, crispy chips featuring Japanese flavors, and delightful sweet treats, you'll find every craving satisfied. These bundles also include fun drinks to help cleanse your palate between snacks.

Exploring Japanese Cuisine in 'Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess'

Like in Street Fighter 6, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess has a fun culinary element to the gameplay. As Yoshiro helps repair the villages, she earns traditional sweets from the grateful villagers. These sweets are incredibly detailed and mimic real treats created by Tsuruya Yoshinobu, a famous confectionary shop in Kyoto that has produced sweets for 200+ years. These sweets make you feel even more immersed in the game's version of Japan as you watch Yoshiro indulge in these authentic treats.

Exclusive Bokksu Snack Bundles for 'Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess'

If playing or watching a streamer play Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess makes you hungry; you can get your own version of Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess snacks from Bokksu Market.
