Capcom President Haruhiro Tsujimoto has credited the publisher's recent run of successful games to a shift away from individual-driven development toward a team-based model.
In an interview with Famitsu during Capcom's 43rd anniversary celebrations, Tsujimoto explained that the company moved away from relying on single creators for franchises. He noted that series often became tied to one developer's ideas, limiting future installments.
The publisher rebuilt titles from the ground up after discussions with key figures behind each franchise. Tsujimoto said the change was accepted even if it led to temporary sales declines.
Capcom faced challenges in the first half of the 2010s, including rough launches for Street Fighter V and criticism of Resident Evil 6. The turning point came with Resident Evil 7 in 2017, followed by titles such as Monster Hunter Wilds, Dragon’s Dogma 2, and Street Fighter 6.
