If Microsoft acquires Capcom, is it likely to happen? It seems not, because Capcom president Haruhiro Tsujimoto gave another answer.
foreign mediaBloombergDuring the 2023 Tokyo Game Show, Capcom President Haruhiro Tsujimoto was interviewed, and he responded to the operational directions of the mobile game market in response to the launch of “Castle of Evil 4 Remake” and “Castle of Evil 8 Village” on the iOS platform. .
When it comes to acquisitions, Tsujimoto Haruhiro believes that Capcom prefers independent growth, internal development or external partners, rather than relying on the acquisition of external companies (expansion).
When a reporter asked what his attitude would be if Microsoft was interested in acquiring Capcom? Tsujimoto Haruhiro said he would decline because it would be better to maintain an equal partnership as an industry leader.
This answer doesn’t seem too surprising. For Capcom, its main IPs such as “The Castle of Evil”, “Fighting” and even “Monster Hunter” can continue to bring visibility and revenue in the Eastern and Western markets; therefore, compared with being Acquisitions and finding ways to use IP to tap more value besides games should be Capcom’s biggest concern right now.
