Social networks can no longer be ignored by game publishers, Capcom president Haruhiro told BusinessWeek, so the company plans to release its first game on Facebook as early as this fiscal year.
âGaming on social networks is poised to impact the traditional video game industry and is a presence that cannot be ignored,â Capcom President Haruhiro Tsujimoto said in an interview in Tokyo today. âWe have to make our move.â
What exactly that move will be is anyoneâs guess, but do keep in mind that not all of Capcomâs games are slick, graphics-heavy productions like Dead Rising or Lost Planet. They also have quite a robust line-up of puzzle titles, which strikes me as the sort of title that could work quite well on Facebook.
