At this time of year, it’s not unusual to hear companies discuss finances and fiscal plans. In this, game publishers are no different. As such, hearing that Capcom plans to release a game by March 2019 wouldn’t be surprising. In a report via DSoGaming, however, things are looking to be a little busier than we may have expected.
In the report, Capcom has said that they plan for 2 major releases within the current fiscal year. Put simply, that means two games from them should be expected by no later than March 31st, 2019.
This will undoubtedly lead to a lot of speculation about what exactly those games are going to be. In fairness, there’s a lot to suggest. Firstly, I think a new Street Fighter or Resident Evil game is unlikely in that time frame. A new Devil May Cry is a possibility. It does, however, open the doors to the possibility that these major releases may be remastered or remakes. Perhaps even Resident Evil 2.
While a pretty fan of Capcom, I do have my concerns with the company. With lower than expected game sales, outright flops (MvC3) and staff layoffs, I have been concerned for some time now that Capcom might be in a little financial difficulty. Two AAA releases in the next year would certainly help, but I am a little concerned that if these are brand new games, that Capcom might rush them through the doors.
Admittedly, Capcom has a fairly decent reputation for good launches, but it is, if nothing else, a possibility.
What do you think? What do you think these 2 games will be? Are you worried about the future of Capcom? In addition, when do you think we’ll see Resident Evil 2 remastered? – Let us know in the comments!
