Two "Major" Games Coming From Capcom This Year
Which games would you like to see?
Monster Hunter World was a huge success critically and commercially, and that success has helped publisher Capcom achieve its most profitable year ever. Now, for the current financial period ending March 31, 2019, the company plans to have another big year by releasing "two major titles."
It seems the two games will see worldwide releases and not be Japan-exclusive titles; Capcom states the pair of games are part of a plan to promote a "global expansion of major brands." There's no clues yet as to which series the games might belong to; Mega Man 11 is scheduled to come out at some point this year, but it's not clear if this is one of the "major" titles Capcom refers to in its financial report.
Capcom owns the rights to a number of big franchises, most notably Street Fighter, Mega Man, Resident Evil, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Ace Attorney, and of course Monster Hunter. The company also states it intends to continue supporting Monster Hunter World in the form of content updates in the coming months. The game is already the best-selling title in Capcom's history, with a PC release still to come later this year.
The action-RPG has a new event going on right now, based around Street Fighter. You can also take part in an Event Quest to get a set of Devil May Cry gear; that consists of a Dante costume and his signature Devil Sword.
