Capcom Plans To Release Multiple Major New Games By March 31st, 2021

Do you want new Capcom games? If the answer is yes or no, the company is going to go on ahead and release new games in its fiscal year ending March 31st, 2021. However, the company will release more major titles but fewer games overall in said time frame.

In case the above information has you confused, Capcom will release fewer games unlike in the past. Additionally, those fewer games will be filled with “major titles.”

In other words, expect more big names to pop up in Capcom’s portfolio of games as of its current fiscal year.

The above information comes from publication site videogameschronicle.com, which reports on Capcom’s current fiscal year plans and lowering the output of SKUs.

Furthermore, the website highlights that Capcom will only release 13 game SKUs during this fiscal year, which is reported to be “significantly lower” than the 35 SKUs released in the company’s 2020 fiscal year and the 61 released in 2019.

For those of you thinking, “What does Capcom consider a major game?” Well, the publication site cites Capcom in its last fiscal year saying Monster Hunter World: Iceborne is the only release “classified as major.”

The website also mentions that the publisher may not release ports for various platforms. This means we might see fewer releases in the next ten months — coinciding with the above information regarding SKUs.

Right now, two rumors are floating around with the first being Capcom’s internal teams and other external studios lending “support” when it comes to helping with “Resident Evil 4 Remake.”

The second rumor surrounding Capcom is that there’s an unannounced Resident Evil 8 title in the works, which will be “the darkest and most gruesome Resident Evil yet” while sporting the “most disturbing enemy designs in the series.”

Both games haven’t been announced, but with that said, are you looking forward to Capcom releasing “major titles” or are you done with anything related to said company?
