Capcom Plans to Revive “Dormant IPs”

Capcom’s Integrated Annual Report has revealed some information about reviving their “dormant IPs.”

In case you missed our earlier report, the 2019 Integrated Report (which you can find here) discusses the company’s future business plans and teased future Devil May Cry titles.


In addition, the document mentions dormant IPs several times, and plans to bring them back. On page 33, the “Maximize use of core consumer IP through our digital strategy” section finishes with the following:

“For the time being, while we are placing a priority on maximizing the revenue from current core IP, we are also actively looking to utilize dormant IP.”

Page 80 also notes:

“Our initiatives are to (1) strengthen digital sales, (2) bolster our title lineup through the full-scale execution of our 60-month and 52-week maps and (3) awaken dormant intellectual properties.”

[…] “Finally, for (3) we will revive dormant intellectual properties for which we have not recently released new titles by increasing the number of our developers.”

This may line up with Hideki Kamiya and Ikumi Nakamura teasing a sequel to Okami.
