According to Capcomās financial results presentation for the fiscal year ended March 2026, the company expanded its workforce by 210 employees in the past year, bringing the total number of full-time employees to 3,976 (as spotted by GameBiz).
The upsizing seems to be particularly focused on development staff, which grew from 2,846 to 3,011 employees during the fiscal year. Capcom has previously announced that it plans to welcome over 100 new full-time employees per year, and it reiterates this strategy in the recent presentation, emphasizing the importance of maintaining varied age groups and encouraging generational handover of know-how. During the ongoing fiscal year (ending March 2027), the developer plans to hire an additional 170 full-time development staff members, bringing the total to 3,180.
Capcomās human resources investments are also apparent in the steady rise of employee wages. In the past fiscal year, per employee yearly income (salary + bonuses) saw a 7% increase, reaching 10.13 million JPY or approximately $64 thousand USD. This continues a consecutive upwards trend from 2023.
On a related note, Capcom is set to complete construction of a new office adjacent to its Osaka headquarters in 2027, which will accommodate a new research and development center. The company has also purchased a nearby piece of land for the construction of another future development space (as reported in 2025).
