Capcom has announced changes to its personnel and directors, promoting Ryozo Tsujimoto to Chief Product Officer of its development divisions. He will replace Yoichi Egawa, who retires on April 1st.
Tsujimoto is best known as the producer of the Monster Hunter series. On top of successful outings like Monster Hunter World (currently the best-selling title in Capcom’s history) and Monster Hunter Rise, he also produced the recent Monster Hunter Wilds. The latter saw nearly 1.4 million peak concurrent players on Steam, though sales numbers have yet to be revealed.
The impact of Tsujimoto’s promotion remains to be seen, but Capcom has a pretty healthy line-up ahead. Onimusha: Way of the Sword launches in 2026, starring Miyamoto Musashi as the protagonist (with late actor Toshiro Mifune’s likeness). It also helped establish Clovers to develop a sequel to Okami.

As for Monster Hunter Wilds, its first Title Update arrives in early April, adding Mizutsune as a new monster, the Gathering Hub, and a new difficulty.
