Capcom veteran Hideaki Itsuno has announced his departure from the Japanese videogame giant, after over 30 years as a senior member of its development staff. Itsuno is best-known for his work on the Devil May Cry series, created by Hideki Kamiya but arguably reaching its peak with the Itsuno-directed Devil May Cry 3, and Dragon's Dogma, Itsuno's own dream game with the sequel turning out as his last major project for Capcom.
"At the end of August 2024, I will be leaving Capcom after 30 years and 5 months," Itsuno posted on social media. "Thank you for your long-term support of the games and characters I have been responsible for. I hope you will continue to support Capcom’s games and characters."
