Capcom is one of the biggest names in the gaming industry. With a long list of fan-favorite titles, including Street Fighter and Resident Evil, the Japanese video game company has firmly established itself as a major developer. However, rumors of acquisitions have plagued the Japanese company for some time now. Recently, it was revealed that Microsoft has plans to take over the Monster Hunter devs as a strategic move.

Capcom’s COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto has recently announced the company’s plans to extend its gaming library. Such plans include more expansion into mobile gaming, among others. In a recent interview, Tsujimoto also made his opinions clear about the Microsoft acquisition rumors.

Upholding autonomy amid acquisition rumors

In a recent interview, Capcom’s COO left no room for ambiguity over the acquisition whispers. Tsujimoto emphasized the company’s unwavering commitment to maintaining its independence and steering clear of any acquisition discussions. The rumors have become more interesting in light of Microsoft’s recent headline-grabbing acquisition of CoD publishers Activision. This stance underscores Capcom’s profound faith in its ability to chart its course and thrive as an autonomous creative powerhouse within the gaming industry.

Capcom’s COO declared the intent to “graciously” reject such an offer. Instead, the resources should be allocated so that both entities can persist as equal partners. This highlights Capcom’s determination to protect its unique identity and creative freedom within the realm of digital entertainment.
