Since 2017, Capcom has experienced remarkable growth, driven by the success of major franchises like Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, and Street Fighter. These series have played a crucial role in the company’s expansion and achievements.
Capcom has expanded significantly as its flagship series have achieved unprecedented success. During its recent investor presentation, which covered financial results from the past fiscal year, the company revealed plans for further expansion. A notable aspect of this growth includes the development of a new studio hub near its Osaka, Japan headquarters. According to reports from GameBiz and Automaton, this facility is set to be completed by 2027. It will serve as a state-of-the-art workspace designed to enhance the company’s creative capabilities, allowing developers to work in a stimulating environment where their skills can truly shine.
The company also confirmed its commitment to expanding its workforce, planning to hire 100 new employees annually. Unlike other industries that are increasingly turning to AI and automation, Capcom emphasizes the importance of human talent as the cornerstone of its growth. Monster Hunter Wilds has already made a significant impact in 2025, becoming the year’s top-selling game. With the success of the Resident Evil 4 remake in 2023, fans are eagerly awaiting the next installment in the series, Resident Evil 9, and what surprises it may bring.
