Capcom President and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto attributes the company's recent success to a shift from an individual leadership mindset to a team-focused culture in game development. Tsujimoto has served as Capcom's president and COO since 2007, sharing leadership duties with his father, Capcom CEO and founder Kenzo Tsujimoto.
Tsujimoto's statement comes as Capcom celebrates its 43rd anniversary. Although Capcom has stumbled at times, the Osaka-based studio has gone on a hot streak with consistent game releases. During the first half of 2026, Capcom released Resident Evil requests, Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflectionand progenitor On all current gen platforms.

Dragon's Dogma 2 is officially removing the ability to purchase most of its DLC and Deluxe Edition content ahead of the upcoming Dark Arisen Edition.
While Capcom once produced games with a personal-driven mindset, that has since gone by the wayside. In a Famitsu interview (later translated by Automaton Media), Tsujimoto said that Capcom has adopted a team-driven development cycle instead of the previous method that relied on the creative vision of a single developer. Although individual game developers such as Hideo Kojima and Hideki Kamiya are intrinsically tied to the games they create, this carries the risk of leaving some franchises behind if the studio leaves. While he didn't name any one developer in particular, Tsujimoto said there were limitations to individual-led game releases, especially when it came to pleasing the company's shareholders. Tsujimoto said, “If that person doesn't make one, there won't be another installment. The direction of the series is tied to the ideas of a single creator.” The company's changes are already paying dividends, as Capcom continues its hot streak of game releases.
