Minimum Studios, an animation company, was recently acquired by the Japanese video game company Capcom. The studio was founded in 2018, and it has a record of previously working with Capcom on titles like Resident Evil Village, the Resident Evil 4 remake, and Dragon’s Dogma 2.
The Taiwan-based animation company specializes in game and character animation across human, mechanical, and animal characters, which Capcom wants to boost further. The main purpose of the acquisition is to enhance the studio’s technological and game developmental capabilities. To acquire the studio, Capcom had to pay $ 27,265 during the share purchase to make it a subsidiary company.
The acquiring company aims to achieve a goal of 100 units in annual sales and long-term management so that it wouldn’t be a lost deal. Since Minimum Studios had already worked on Resident Evil titles, they will be developing the characters for the upcoming game in the series Resident Evil 7’s.
The director of the game is Koshi Nakanishi, who has not yet revealed anything about the content of the same. However, it is speculated and anticipated that this will be much bigger and better than Resident Evil Village.
Capcom only has two-thirds of the shares of Minimum Studios, and they have made it clear that they will continue to explore the acquisition for better gaming development. Currently, the company operates from Osaka and has offices in Japan, East Asia, North America, and Europe. Apart from Minimum Studios, the company also has other subsidiaries for game development, like Blue Harvest, K2, and 3D/ 2D CG studio Swordcanes.
