About Capcom
Capcom is a Japanese video game developer, publisher and entertainment company headquartered in Osaka. Its game software business began in 1983, following earlier operations in electronic game machines. The company develops and publishes games across console, PC and mobile platforms, combining internal production capabilities with international publishing and distribution operations.
Its portfolio spans survival horror, competitive fighting games, cooperative hunting action, role-playing games and character-led action adventures. Resident Evil, Street Fighter and Monster Hunter are central franchises, alongside series such as Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Ace Attorney and Dragon’s Dogma. These properties illustrate the breadth of its development work, from multiplayer competition and cooperative play to narrative adventures and single-player action.
Development and publishing
Capcom’s production capabilities encompass game conceptualization, programming, art, sound and quality assurance. Its proprietary game technology supports development across multiple platforms, while its publishing operations cover localization, physical distribution and digital operations. Regional teams support marketing, commercial distribution and community activity across North America, Europe and Asia.
Competitive gaming is another part of its business. Through the Capcom Pro Tour, Capcom Cup and Street Fighter League, the company organizes tournament activity around its fighting games. These programmes connect its game publishing operations with ongoing competitive events and esports production.
Beyond games
Capcom also applies its intellectual property to entertainment beyond game software. Its “Single Content Multiple Usage” strategy extends game franchises into film, television, animation, merchandise and themed attractions. Licensing and media adaptations form part of this broader approach to maintaining and developing its entertainment properties.
In Japan, the company operates commercial amusement centres under the Plaza Capcom banner, alongside café and retail activities. Its wider business also includes amusement equipment and pachislo hardware through specialized operations. Together, these activities connect game development and publishing with physical entertainment venues, consumer products and screen adaptations.
