Capcom, as an old publisher on the video game market, has many cult licenses that it would like to bring back to the fore.
Capcom is a Japanese video game development and publishing company that dates back to 1979. Its first major success came in 1984 with the release of 1942, an aerial shooter. Subsequently, Capcom enjoyed a series of successes with games like street fighter in 1987 or even Resident Evil in 1996. Over the years, the publisher has continued to develop and publish many titles to the point of being a staple in the world of video games. And in this regard, the company intends to bring back old glories from its catalog to offer them to players.
Within the games that the Japanese would like to continue to develop, we note Mega Man. In fact, the outputs of Mega Man 9 in 2008, Mega Man 10 in 2010 and Mega Man 11 in 2018 marked the franchise’s only major games in the last 15 years. It is far and Capcom wants to accelerate the movement. This is how, in front of a question and answer session in front of the investors, we were able to have a concrete news of the license. A new Mega Man game is officially on the way.
Along with Mega Man 11, the franchise’s latest installment, Mega Man is one of Capcom’s historic IPs.
We want to be careful how we develop the series and its sequel. That’s why we want to be careful how we develop a game. We think about how to approach the production of new games, which requires many factors, including the development of a new title.
Good news, no? Fans of the little humanoid robot will get their money’s worth. Even if we have no date in announcement, it is the promise of a future project in preparation.
Other projects on the way?
In addition to Mega Man, which is already a large piece of the Capcom catalog, the Japanese publisher explains in particular that it is thinking about proposing sequels for Toraware no Paruma, Sengoku BASARA And Onimusha. This latest franchise is very popular with fans. As a reminder, the game combines elements of action, adventure and horror, and the plot of the Onimusha series is mostly set in feudal Japan, with references to real historical events and fantasy elements.
We are leading discussions on the future expansion of these titles so that they can be enjoyed by a wide audience.
That is what is said.
