Like every publisher in the industry, Capcom has some franchises that are used more than others. The Japanese company mainly works on successful titles such as Resident Evil, Street Fighter, and Monster Hunter.
Capcom is nevertheless one of the few major publishers to honor its heritage by working on somewhat forgotten franchises such as Onimusha and Okami. And it seems that the company wants to continue in this direction.
In the company’s annual report, COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto clearly mentioned underused licenses that will be revitalized. For example, Capcom wants to develop new projects for Devil May Cry, Mega Man, and Ace Attorney.
“At Capcom, our goal is to maintain annual operating income growth of at least 10%, while pursuing our long-term goal of selling 100 million units per year. To maximize our chances of success, we are focused on addressing business challenges one by one. Our efforts are focused on our flagship licenses such as Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter, as well as the development of main series titles, sequels, remakes, new licenses, and content ports for the latest generation of consoles. We regularly release two to three major new titles each year, but we recognize the need to expand our game catalog in the future.
Capcom has an impressive catalog of globally popular brands, such as Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney. Our goal is to expand our user base and improve our performance through new releases, remakes, and ports of titles from these series to new platforms. By strengthening the awareness of these brands and building loyalty among our fans, we will transform them into flagship licenses.”
