Capcom, a privately owned company headquartered in Japan, was founded in 1979 and operates with approximately 970 employees. The company was initially established as a manufacturer and distributor of electronic game machines and now specializes in the development and global distribution of video games.
On October 9, 2026, Capcom confirmed the authenticity of an online leak regarding Resident Evil Requiem, revealing it was initially conceived as an online multiplayer game, which aligns with previous claims that "RE9" was intended to feature Leon and Jill Valentine in a multiplayer format. Producer Masachika Kawata disclosed these details about Resident Evil Requiem's online origins in the recently released Nikkei Entertainment Biohazard 30th Special magazine, explaining why the concept was abandoned and the title evolved into a single-player entry. Earlier on October 8, a Steam update for Dragon's Dogma 2 introduced DLSS 4.5, FSR 3, and RTX 50 Multi Frame Generation, although Capcom's notice did not publish specific frame-rate figures or GPU compatibility information. Previously, on the same day, Monster Hunter Rise appeared on Google Play and Apple’s App Store, indicating an upcoming release for Android and iOS devices through Netflix Games.
