Capcom-PC is currently scheduled to publish the PC titles Empire Earth, Aliens Versus Predator 2, and NASCAR Racing 4 in Japan this winter. It also plans to port Mega Man X5 and Dino Crisis 2 to the PC sometime this winter. The company also commented that it is currently working on a network title that will appeal to a wide range of consumers, though no further details on the project were revealed.
