Capcom Targets Mega Man, Devil May Cry and Ace Attorney for Core IP Growth

The investor report links these revivals to goals of 100 million annual software sales plus sustained double‑digit operating profit growth.

Overview

  • Capcom’s 2025 integrated report signals plans to expand Mega Man, Devil May Cry and Ace Attorney through new releases, remakes and ports with the aim of elevating them to core IP status.
  • The company says it is mapping out mainline entries, sequels, remakes, new IP and ports to modern hardware, noting it typically ships two to three major titles a year but intends to grow that pipeline.
  • No specific new titles or release dates for the three franchises were announced, and coverage frames the update as strategic guidance rather than confirmation of projects.
  • Capcom cites development capacity expansion, including a new facility next to its head office targeted for completion in 2027, along with continued recruitment and training of in‑house creators.
  • Context from the report shows current scale: Resident Evil, Monster Hunter and Street Fighter lead lifetime sales, while Mega Man (43 million), Devil May Cry (33 million) and Ace Attorney (13 million) trail after long gaps since their last mainline entries in 2018 and 2019.
