Every gamer still remember Hideaki Itsuno as the Director of the Dragon’s Dogma series. His name has always been synonymous with Capcom. Last 31 August, Hideaki announced on X that he’s leaving the company.
"At the end of August 2024, I will be leaving Capcom after 30 years and 5 months," he wrote in a post on X. "Thank you for your long-term support of the games and characters I have been responsible for. I hope you will continue to support Capcom's games and characters."
Itsuno has been with Capcom since the '90s, and worked on a slew of popular series, including Devil May Cry, starting with the second game. He created Dragon’s Dogma, and the most recent title under his belt, Dragon’s Dogma 2, sold over 2.5 million units within 10 days of its release earlier this year. It also reportedly broke Capcom’s Steam record for concurrent players on launch day.
"From September, I will start developing a new game in a new environment," he continues. "I hope to create fun, beautiful games that are as memorable as, or even more memorable than, the ones I have created so far."
There's currently no word on what type of game Itsuno is working on next, what this "new environment" could be, or why he's leaving Capcom, but whatever the famed director makes next deserves to be paid attention
