Capcom is Looking to Revive Some of its Dormant IPs in the Wake of ‘Resident Evil 2’ and ‘Devil May Cry 5’ Success
In Capcom’s recent financial report, the Japanese giant was eager to celebrate the success stories of Resident Evil 2 Remake, Monster Hunter World, and Devil May Cry 5, but it also looked to the future by promising to keep on utilizing these present franchises, and also resurrect some of its past.
Capcom wants to revive dormant IP. The IPs in question are ones ‘for which we have not recently released new titles‘ according to Capcom’s report to its investors, and it plans to do so by increasing the number of its developers.
So what could be coming back? Well, with a clear thirst for horror and monsters, it’d be easy to pick Dino Crisis for that much sought-after return. Onimusha may have got a remaster, but maybe we’re in line to see a return to the demon-slaying series? There’s also grounds for the likes of Ghosts N Goblins or Darkstalkers making a return, or even Lost Planet, which has been missing for this entire console generation.
Capcom is also looking to create new IP too, so while it’ll be great to see some old friends return, it’ll be just as nice to make some new ones.
What do you hope gets a revival?

Bloody Disgusting and Creep I.E. Con Screening ‘Child’s Play’ with Brad Dourif, Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent
Looking for a big event to kick off your Summerween?
Creep I.E. Con, one of Southern California’s biggest horror themed conventions, returns for an Aftermath in 2026 — two months earlier than usual! This weekend, the Ontario Convention Center will house over 30 celebrity guests, 170 vendors, and all kinds of tricks and treats courtesy of Bloody Disgusting.
The main event is Saturday night at the Creep I.E. Cinema featuring a screening of 1988’s Child’s Play with stars Brad Dourif, this week’s Emmy-nominee Fiona Dourif, and Alex Vincent. Note: This is a separately ticketed event within the weekend, so be sure to secure your tickets for the screening and Q&A before they’re all gone.
Beyond the silver screen, Bloody Disgusting will also be hosting panels with stars of the Scary Movie franchise (Tori Spelling, Lochlyn Munro, Simon Rex, Jon Abrahams); return to Spooky World with David Bertolino; take a trip to Woodsboro with Hayden Panettiere; revisit Tales from the Crypt with John Kassir; and go toe to toe with Danny Trejo.
That’s not all. On Saturday at noon PST, we’re hosting an exclusive photo opportunity at our Bloody Disgusting booth with the titular puppet behind Pinocchio Unstrung. Later that afternoon, Eli Roth’s Ice Cream Man will be passing out free cold sweets outside at the top of every hour while supplies last.
It all goes down this Friday, July 10th to Sunday, July 12th — at the Ontario Convention Center in Ontario, California. Tickets are selling out fast — in fact, all VIP passes are sold and off the table — so secure your passes ASAP before it’s too late. After all, you don’t want to miss the first real horror event of the year!
