Capcom has been on a pretty incredible hot streak since 2017, with Monster Hunter, Resident Evil, and Street Fighter all playing huge roles in the company's growth and success since.
The company has grown significantly since its biggest series all started to take off in record-breaking ways, and in its latest presentation to investors regarding its recent financial results for its previous fiscal year, Capcom laid out even more plans to expand.
A key point in its expansion is the announcement of a new development hub that will be built near the company's headquarters in Osaka, Japan. Reported by GameBiz (and spotted by Automaton), the building is scheduled to be finished in 2027 and will be a new office meant to help Capcom accelerate its development capabilities. It's described as a new environment where "creators can unleash their talents fully."
The studio also reiterated its plans to continue hiring 100 new employees every year. In an age when so many others are looking towards generative AI and other technology to boost their potential, Capcom recognizes human talent as the "essential driver of growth."
Monster Hunter Wilds is the best-selling game of 2025 so far, and after 2023's excellent remake of Resident Evil 4, fans of the long-running horror series are on the edge of their seats waiting to see what the studio has in store for Resident Evil 9.
