Comment from Haruhiro Tsujimoto, President and Representative Director

Capcom Co., Ltd. will hold the "CAPCOM GAMES COMPETITION," a game production competition using our proprietary game engine "RE ENGINE," as an initiative to support the future of the game industry, which is a growing industry in Japan.

Our company has a development environment that consistently produces world-class content, and
by holding this event, which allows more people to experience "RE ENGINE," which is its operational foundation,
we aim to foster young creators who can play an active role on a global level at an early stage.

Game production is constantly evolving, and in addition to programming skills,
it requires new technologies and talents in a wide range of areas such as storytelling, game design, graphic production, and sound production.

This event is not only a competition between teams but also a place of learning where you can interact with professional creators.

Through opportunities to interact with other participants and our mentors, we will operate this event to be a fruitful one where your creativity and technical skills
