Capcom is prepared to move the development of its most lucrative franchises, including Resident Evil, to western studios.
Recently the company entrusted its Bionic Commando IP to Swedish developer Grin, and is currently assisting Washington-based Airtight Games with the development of new IP Dark Void – with Inafune himself providing feedback.
This new outreach to western developers is "something you're going to see more of" according to Chris Kramer, Senior Director of Communications and Community at Capcom USA.
Speaking to Gamespy, Kramer said that "the idea of having external, especially western development teams, on games that have been primarily Capcom Japan intellectual properties is really new."

Microsoft announced its financial results for Q3 of fiscal year 2026, including an update on its gaming Xbox business and more.
Not looking good. Hopefully Asha Sharma is able to turn Phil’s disaster around.
To me it's still quite remarkable how they can cash-in 5.3bn in revenue in a single quarter, since their hardware is basically dead.

Spiders: "We're going to cut straight to the chase so you're not left wondering: After a long period without clear answers, we have received confirmation that Spiders is being liquidated.
What does it mean? This means the company as a whole no longer exists. We'll cease our functions immediately. The planned DLC will release via Nacon, and then-- well, that's it.
We're sorry that it's come to this and would like to thank each and every one of you for your support over the years.
If you have any questions or run into issues with your games, please contact Nacon directly as we'll no longer be able to reply."
