Capcom looks ready to dust off and actually revive some of its long-running fan-favorite IPs — including Mega Man, Ace Attorney, and Devil May Cry — with brand-new projects in development. This comes straight from Capcom’s 2025 Integrated Report, which highlights not only their monster franchises like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter, but also the smaller (but still beloved) series they want to finally give some attention.
Capcom Finally Acknowledges Its Forgotten Classics
It’s clear Capcom hasn’t forgotten about the classics. Sure, Monster Hunter and Resident Evil have absolutely dominated the spotlight lately, but longtime fans have been begging for updates on the franchises collecting dust. And according to the report, Tsujimoto directly name-drops Mega Man, Ace Attorney, and Devil May Cry as brands the company intends to grow through new in-house projects.
“At Capcom, we aim to sustain our KPI of 10% or better annual operating profit growth, along with our long-term goal of annual software sales of 100 million units. To improve our chance of success, we are working to resolve business challenges, issue by issue. Our efforts are focused on core IP such as the Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter franchises, and mapping out mainline series entries and sequels, remakes, new IP, and ports of content to the latest hardware.
We consistently release two to three major new titles each year, but recognize the need to grow our pipeline going forward. Capcom owns a wealth of globally popular brands, such as Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney. We aim to expand our user base and improve our performance through new releases, remakes, and ports of titles in these series to new hardware. By enhancing brand power and cultivating loyal fan bases, we will grow these into core IPs.“
An Empty Promise or Hopeful Future?
Now, this isn’t a hard confirmation that new games are actively in development — nobody should start screaming “Mega Man 12 confirmed” or “DMC 6” just yet. But it stands out as one of the most promising signals we’ve seen in a while. Still, like any corporate report, take it with a grain of salt. “New releases, remakes, and ports” could mean anything from full-blown sequels… to HD re-releases… to overpriced ports… or, worst case, a cursed mobile spinoff.
Overall, this is absolutely good news — Capcom is at least acknowledging these franchises and putting them back on the board. But time will tell whether they genuinely breathe life into them… or give us something on the level of that DMC Netflix show (and nobody wants that).
