Virtual reality will be a major focus at Capcom going forward, as the publisher has confirmed its Development Division 1 team, the studio behind the Resident Evil franchise, is invested in the technology.
"At present, we are focusing our energy on challenging the virtual reality (VR) game market," Capcom explained in its Integrated Report 2015 (via GamesIndustry). "In this terrifying world, you can twist and turn as you like, but there's no escaping the creatures closing in on you...until you remove your VR headset and return to reality, that is.
"We delivered this very experienced [sic] with our 'Kitchen' VR technical demo at E3 2015," the report continued. "The response was excellent. Currently, we are building a new game development engine able to support VR, which is the hottest market right now, while simultaneously developing titles for current game consoles. We have just set sail on our latest voyage."
