In Capcom&#8217;s 2025 integrated report, company president and COO Haruhiro Tsujimoto said that the company plans to expand its user base and release new games, ports, and remakes from IPs like <em>Devil May Cry<\/em>, <em>Mega Man<\/em>, and <em>Ace Attorney<\/em>, among others. Tsujimoto stated that by cultivating the loyal fan bases of these franchises, they could be made into core IPs like <em>Street Fighter<\/em> and <em>Resident Evil <\/em>currently are. In 2025, the <em>Devil May Cry<\/em> anime on Netflix had an effect on <em>Devil May Cry 5<\/em>&#8216;s sales, as <em>DMC5<\/em> reached 10 million units sold across all available platforms following the show&#8217;s release.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the fact that <em>Ace Attorney<\/em> and <em>Mega Man<\/em> had no new game releases in 2025, the latter series will soon get a new compilation. <em>Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection<\/em> will hit store shelves sometime in 2026. Tsujimoto stated that Capcom would continue to use its patented RE Engine for game development, and it would be continually updated to keep up with new graphical technologies. It is worth noting that Capcom has not officially stated if or when <em>Ace Attorney<\/em>, <em>Devil May Cry<\/em>, or other fan-favorite franchises will see new ports or game releases, so fans must wait for more information.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"the-state-of-capcom-and-its-current-projects\">\n            The State of Capcom and Its Current Projects<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>Capcom said that it would continue pushing ahead with its current multi-platform release strategy, with the Nintendo Switch 2 being a platform it would continue to support, as evidenced by the day-one release of <em>Resident Evil Requiem <\/em>on Nintendo&#8217;s latest hardware. Along with the February launch of <em>Resident Evil Requiem<\/em>, and continued support for <em>Monster Hunter Wilds<\/em> and <em>Street Fighter 6<\/em>, the gaming giant still has more plans for 2026.<\/p>\n<p>After several delays due to balancing and other issues, Capcom&#8217;s new IP <em>Pragmata<\/em> will launch sometime in 2026. Set in an outer space research station, Pragmata focuses on Hugh Williams and a girl named Diana, who join forces to escape a ship full of hostile robots. The new science-fiction title from Capcom has no definitive release date, so it remains to be seen when the developers will share more details.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"what-other-classic-franchises-could-capcom-bring-back\">\n            What Other Classic Franchises Could Capcom Bring Back?<br \/>\n    <\/h3>\n<p>Although Tsujimoto mentioned <em>Mega Man<\/em>, <em>Devil May Cry<\/em>, and <em>Ace Attorney<\/em> as examples of IPs that Capcom currently holds, those franchises are not the only ones in the company&#8217;s repertoire as of this writing. Some of Capcom&#8217;s classic hits that are due for a remake or a port to current-gen platforms include <em>Ghosts &#8216;n Goblins<\/em>, <em>Dino Crisis<\/em>, and <em>Breath of Fire<\/em>, to name a few. Though Capcom is host to a plethora of dormant IPs, only time will tell what series it could bring back in 2026 and beyond for fans old and new to enjoy.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/gamerant.com\/capcom-reviving-ips-mega-man-dmc-ace-attorney\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In its latest integrated report, Capcom leadership stated the company is looking into reviving some of its classic IPs, including Devil May Cry, Ace Attorney,&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":1864,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[9894,12209,4415,10689,6089,140,4507,3328,4263,12208,318],"class_list":["post-18046","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-tech-gadgets-reviews","tag-ace","tag-attorney","tag-capcom","tag-cry","tag-devil","tag-man","tag-mega","tag-planning","tag-popular","tag-revitalize","tag-series","wpcat-32-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18046","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=18046"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/18046\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=18046"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=18046"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/sgbuzz.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=18046"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
