Capcom Co., Ltd. would like to announce that at the "Tokyo Game Show 2024" held from September 26th to 29th, 2024, "Japan Game Awards 2024" (sponsored by the Computer Entertainment Suppliers Association) presented our "Street Fighter 6" with the "Excellent Award" and "Special Award" in the annual product category, and "Dragon's Dogma 2" received the "Excellent Award". In addition, "Monster Hunter Wilds" was selected in the Future category.
The award-winning "Street Fighter 6" in the annual product category, with the "Excellent Award" and "Special Award", is a new title released after approximately 7 years since the previous installment. It achieved the "Excellent Award" for expanding recognition to a wide range of users through the adoption of a new operation mode and the first hosting of the esports finals in Japan. Additionally, the enhancement of the 'Sound Accessibility' to assist in a game experience without visual information was recognized, earning it the "Special Award".
Additionally, "Dragon's Dogma 2", which also won the "Excellent Award" in the annual product category, is a game set in a classic fantasy world with swords and magic where players can enjoy free action. Despite being a single-player game, players can also experience the fun of adventuring with another person, with the assistance of an autonomous follower called a "Pawn". This unique game experience filled with originality has received favorable reviews leading to its award.
Furthermore, through general voting by users, the 'Future Division' where anticipated titles from future releases are selected, 'Monster Hunter Wilds' was chosen. This title was exhibited at Tokyo Game Show 2024 at our booth and the PlayStation booth, with a total of over 150 trial play stations, the largest ever for the 'Monster Hunter' series. It attracted significant attention by allowing many visitors to play it immediately after opening, resulting in its award in the same category.
Moving forward, we will continue to demonstrate our superior game development skills, create original game titles full of creativity, and respond to the expectations of our users.
