Capcom says it will focus on reviving dormant IPs after Onimusha: Way of the Sword's breakout launch
Capcom plans to revive dormant intellectual properties following the successful launch of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which sold over one million copies on its first day. The publisher aims to maximize corporate value by leveraging its back catalog. Meanwhile, Sega has canceled its ambitious "Super Game" live-service initiative due to high risks and operational challenges, though its president still sees business opportunities in the genre. Tencent, however, remains committed to live-service games, viewing them as a "holy grail."
