Wednesday 5-9-18: Capcom Investor Plans, Sega Resurgence

Not as much going on today, it seems. Here’s the news.

  • Capcom Has Two Major Titles Planned for 2018
  • Sega President Seeks Resurgence for Sonic the Hedgehog

Capcom Plans


According to Business Divisional Strategies and Projections in FY2018 from Capcom’s Investor Relations portal, the game company plans to release two major titles in the 2018 fiscal year. Under the Digital Contents portion of the report, Capcom states the following.

  • Monster Hunter World has done well, and they will continue to promote it to keep interest going for the PC release.
  • They intend to do multiple more title updates to retain player interest
  • They plan to release “two major titles”

It remains uncertain as to what those two titles would be, but time will tell.

Sonic Stays Strong


In an interview with CNBC, Sega Sammy Holdings president Haruki Satomi spoke about his desire to bring the Sonic the Hedgehog games back to its former glory. He had remarked on the heavy criticism they had received with Sonic the Hedgehog (2006), and stated that since then, they’ve strived to ensure a newfound level of quality in their games. They’re very happy with the results of Sonic Mania, and they hope to achieve something to that level again. Take form this what you will.
