Capcom's strength lies in advanced development capabilities that create high-quality original content, which up to now has included "Resident Evil", "Street Fighter", "Monster Hunter" and a variety of other popular titles. Recognized throughout the world, this intellectual capital is regularly used to develop and sell a variety of products. All of Capcom's content is produced in-house and deployed across multiple game platforms and media using the Single Content Multiple Usage strategy, enabling full utilization that maximizes corporate value.
Projects are started after a two-step approval process. Once concepts and plans are refined, the project is approved for trial by management before full development.
Necessary tasks are allocated, including the creation of a proprietary development engine and arrangement of planners, designers, programmers and sound creators. Efforts are made to improve quality and ensure development efficiency.
Checks are conducted from the user's perspective by a team comprising several hundred people. This involves not only a bug check, but also verification of game quality and ease of game play.
Online promotions and user events conducted to ensure the game world is always top of mind.
