The expansion extends beyond personnel to physical infrastructure. Capcom is constructing a new development building near its Osaka headquarters, with completion scheduled for 2027. The company has also acquired additional land in the vicinity for future development sites, emphasizing its commitment to creating an environment where “creators can unleash their talents fully.”

Alongside workforce growth, Capcom is implementing initiatives to improve working conditions. The company has set targets to reduce its gender wage gap to less than 12% and encourage greater participation in paid parental leave among male employees.

The expansion strategy comes as Capcom continues to experience financial success. The company reported record profits for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, marking its eighth consecutive year of growth. Projections for the following fiscal year indicate continued momentum, with both revenue and profits expected to reach all-time highs.
