I have a report for my followers. I have resigned from Capcom after 30 years and 5 months of service at the end of August 2024. Thank you for your long term support for the games and characters I have worked on. I would be happy if you continue to support Capcom's games and characters. I will start developing new games in September in a new environment. I hope to create a fun and beautiful game that will leave the same, or even more, lasting impression on you as before. Please look forward to my next work. Hideaki Itsuno
