Capcom’s latest integrated report didn’t drop any trailers or major announcements, but a single line still managed to spark excitement.
This is the first time in years the company has openly highlighted Mega Man, Devil May Cry and Ace Attorney as brands it plans to grow again.
By expanding the lineup with brand-new titles, rebuilt classics, and real support beyond ports.
It may read plainly yet it captures the shift fans have waited for across the last decade as Capcom hints that its classic franchises are ready to move again instead of sitting in storage.
Is Capcom Finally Serious About Reviving Its Classic Franchises?
Capcom’s latest integrated report states that the company plans to grow Mega Man, Devil May Cry, and Ace Attorney through new games, remakes, and modern ports so they can stand alongside Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter as core brands.
On paper, it feels like exactly what long-time fans wanted to hear because Capcom is finally saying these series won’t just sit in the vault as nostalgia bait.
Instead, they’re now baked into a mid-to-long-term plan to push major sales goals and maintain a steady yearly release pace.
Where Do Devil May Cry, Ace Attorney, and Mega Man Go From Here?
Capcom’s report put all three franchises back on the board, but each one is coming from a different place.
Devil May Cry is thriving but unusually silent, and that long gap since 2019 has fans torn between a DMC6 reveal or a full DMC1 remake as Capcom hints at growing the series again.
Ace Attorney, meanwhile, has exhausted almost every remaster possible.
With the porting phase done, that detail reads like Capcom’s first step toward a new mainline release, even if players hope the studio doesn’t tweak the formula just to do it.
And then there’s Mega Man, the most emotional of the three, spread across multiple subseries and stuck in collection mode since Mega Man 11.
Fans dream of everything from X9 to Legends 3, but the realistic first step is likely another collection before anything bigger.
Still, just seeing Mega Man listed as a growth target again has been enough to spark hope that Capcom finally intends to move the franchise forward.
Where Do Older Franchises Like Dino Crisis or Okami Fit In?
That’s why the discussion doesn’t stop at Mega Man, DMC, or Ace Attorney; once “revitalize classic IP” shows up in an official report, fans immediately pull in Dino Crisis, Breath of Fire, Onimusha, Okami, Ghosts ’n Goblins, Darkstalkers, Power Stone, Final Fight, Lost Planet, and the rest.
Fans argue that since Capcom is already doing remakes and remasters, it makes sense to give older series another chance, and recent moves like new Onimusha and Okami work show they are already testing that idea.
Others are more cynical and think most of these will stay as wishful thinking until the company runs out of safer options.
