Capcom, a privately owned company headquartered in Japan, was founded in 1979 and operates with approximately 970 employees. The company was initially established as a manufacturer and distributor of electronic game machines and now specializes in the development and global distribution of video games.
Capcom provided details on September 18 regarding how Monster Hunter Wilds will perform on the Nintendo Switch 2, following a direct last week, with the game slated for release on the platform on December 4, 2026. Previously, on September 17, the publisher announced that Monster Hunter Wilds will eliminate a "most hated feature," reversing a controversial microtransaction trend seen in some of its titles like Monster Hunter and Dragon’s Dogma. Also on September 17, the company added developers, even as the broader video game industry faces its worst downturn in decades, marked by tens of thousands of job losses. This industry pain is largely concentrated in North America and Europe, a downturn Japan is largely dodging. Earlier the same day, Capcom partnered with Kashihara City and Kintetsu Railway to introduce Street Fighter 6 character designs and special experiences at Yamato-Yagi Station in Nara, Japan.
