Blue Castle Games Acquired By Capcom
Shortly after showing off the future of Dead Rising, Capcom announced that it had purchased Blue Castle Games, the Vancouver based company behind Dead Rising 2.
Capcom's managing corporate officer Keiji Inafune stressed Capcom's need to make games that feel like they come from Capcom's Japanese studios, yet have a western essence, something he feels Blue Castle Games has achieved with Dead Rising 2.
Following the acquisition, Blue Castle will be renamed Capcom Games Studio Vancouver. Prior to Dead Rising 2, Blue Castle developed MLB Front Office Manager, The Bigs, and The Bigs 2. Perhaps Dead Rising Baseball is in their future.

Here on the website, we offer much of our content for free, including game reviews, daily news, videos, event coverage, and more – all with minimal ads.
We do so with a small editorial team, alongside contributing paid writers from around the world – over 65 individuals from 9 countries around the world, just in the last couple of years.
