The Capcom boss shares why the company is doing well.

capcom President and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto attributed the company's recent success to a shift from an individual-centric game development mindset to a team-centric culture.

Capcom once made games with an individual-centric mentality, but that's since disappeared. In a Famitsu interview (later translated by Automaton Media), Tsujimoto said that Capcom had adopted a team-oriented development cycle rather than its previous approach, which relied on the creative vision of a single developer. Individual game developers like Hideo Kojima and Hideki Kamiya are inherently tied to the games they make, but if they leave the studio, they risk leaving some franchises behind. He declined to name specific developers, but said there are limits to individual-led game releases, especially when it comes to pleasing company shareholders. Tsujimoto said, “If that person doesn't make it, there won't be a next work. The direction of the series is tied to the thoughts of one creator.” The company's changes have already paid dividends as Capcom continues to release hot games.
