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 July 7, 2026, Capcom prompted speculation for a new *Dead Rising* game, potentially *Dead Rising 5*, with the release of new Frank West merchandise. On the same day, legendary game director Hideki Kamiya attributed Capcom's strong performance and the success of games like *PRAGMATA* to its continued willingness to invest in new intellectual properties, a strategy he noted distinguishes it from other developers who are increasingly risk-averse. This follows the July 6 announcement by the *Street Fighter 6* director that the game officially ended World Tour support with Ingrid's release, three years after achieving 7 million copies sold; the director intends to pursue other story elements going forward.
