Capcom

What Capcom is

Capcom is a Japanese game company. Its corporate site states that Capcom began in Japan in 1979 as a manufacturer and distributor of electronic game machines, and that Capcom Co., Ltd. was founded in 1983. Corporate headquarters are in Osaka, Japan, and the company lists operations in the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore and Tokyo. The corporate site states that Capcom is now involved in all areas of the video game industry.

Capcom's investor relations history page gives the sequence in more detail. It records that I.R.M Corporation was established in Matsubara, Osaka, in May 1979 with the objective of developing and selling electric applied game machines, and that the old Capcom Co., Ltd. was established in Hirano, Osaka, in June 1983 for the purpose of selling software. In 1989 the company was merged with SANBI, the corporate name was changed to Capcom Co., Ltd., and the head office moved to Higashi-ku, Osaka.

The games in our records

Our database connects Capcom with Monster Hunter: World, Resident Evil 4 and Dragon's Dogma 2, with Capcom acting as both developer and publisher. Capcom's history page records that in August 2018 Monster Hunter: World became the first Capcom game to ship ten million units globally, and that in October 2021 the same title surpassed twenty million units sold worldwide. Both figures are given by Capcom as worldwide sales for the title.

For Resident Evil 4, Capcom issued a press release dated 3 June 2022 announcing the game for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X and Series S and PC with a scheduled release date of 24 March 2023. The same release states that cumulative shipments of the Resident Evil series exceeded 125 million units as of 31 March 2022, and describes the 2023 title as a remake of the 2005 original built on Capcom's RE Engine.

Dragon's Dogma 2

For Dragon's Dogma 2, Capcom announced on 2 April 2024 that worldwide sales of the game had surpassed 2.5 million units, and that cumulative sales of the Dragon's Dogma series, which began with the first game in 2012, had exceeded ten million units. The same release describes the game as an action title set in an open world of swords and magic, with AI-controlled pawn characters acting as travelling companions during play.

Earlier milestones

The history page also records earlier points in the company's catalogue. It notes that Resident Evil was released for PlayStation in March 1996 and that the company describes it as establishing the survival horror genre. It records that Monster Hunter won the grand award at the eighth annual CESA Game Awards in 2004, and that Dead Rising sold more than one million units on Xbox 360 after its August 2006 release, a result Capcom presents as exceptional for a new title on a new console.

More recent entries on the same page include the Resident Evil series passing 100 million units sold worldwide in June 2020, the Monster Hunter series passing 100 million units in May 2024, and Monster Hunter Wilds surpassing ten million units sold within its first month of release in March 2025. These entries record cumulative shipments or sales worldwide for each series across the platforms the games were released on.

The Capcom group

Capcom's business spans consumer games for consoles, PCs and mobile devices alongside arcade operations and amusement equipment, and the corporate site records offices across North America, Europe and Asia with headquarters in Osaka. The history page records the establishment of group companies over time, including Capcom U.S.A. in California in August 1985 for distribution of Capcom's products in the United States, and Capcom Asia in Hong Kong in July 1993 for distribution in China and South East Asia.
