Capcom Plans Major Expansion with Employee Growth Strategy

Capcom has outlined its expansion plans following its eighth consecutive year of record-high profits, announcing sustained workforce growth and new development facilities as part of its long-term strategy.

During a financial results presentation on May 21 covering the fiscal year ending March 2025, the Japanese game developer revealed plans to maintain its current hiring pace of 100 new employees annually. The company views human talent as an “essential driver of growth” and considers this steady workforce expansion crucial to achieving its development goals.

According to GameBiz, these development capacity expansions are positioned as key components of Capcom’s mid- to long-term strategic objectives. The combination of increased headcount, enhanced facilities, and improved workplace policies reflects the company’s comprehensive approach to scaling its operations while maintaining its profitable trajectory.

The sustained hiring commitment of 100 employees per year represents Capcom’s confidence in continued market demand and its ability to develop successful gaming content across multiple franchises and new intellectual properties.

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.
