Amid multiple controversies in the world of video games, Japanese game publisher, Capcom has some positive news to share with its employees. The publisher is taking steps to revise its compensation system resulting in higher salaries for Capcom employees. The company also states that they are making efforts to “promote strategic investment in its personnel.”

This news comes from Capcom’s Investor Relations website ahead of the company's incoming 2021 fiscal year results in May. After a year of successful releases, including the critically acclaimed Resident Evil Village, Monster Hunter Rise, and Monster Hunter Stories 2, Capcom expects to report record profits for the fifth consecutive year. This is no surprise as May’s Resident Evil Village has sold 5.7 million copies, while Monster Hunter Rise has surpassed 7.7 million copies sold on Switch alone.

These departments include R&D Human Resources, People Strategy Team, Human Resources, and Health and Productivity Management. Capcom's second planned change is a revised compensation system with an average 30% salary increase and a bonus system tied to the company’s business performance. Given Capcom’s stellar fiscal year, employees could expect to see some nice pay increases in the future.
