Capcom legend Hideaki Itsuno, known for his work on series like Dragon's Dogma and Devil May Cry over the years, has announced he's left the Japanese developer and publisher after "30 years and 5 months".
In his announcement on social media, he thanked fans for their long-term support and noted how this wouldn't actually be the end of his career. As of September, he's beginning work on a "new game" in a "new environment".
"I hope to create fun, beautiful games that are as memorable as, or even more memorable than, the ones I have created so far. Please stay tuned for my next creation."
Itsuno was the director on Capcom's recently released action-RPG Dragon's Dogma 2. He also worked on series like Power Stone in his earlier years.

Worst news for myself. I so wanted a Devil May Cry 6 that he would oversee as the director.
I wonder if the Tsujimoto family pushed him out too.
Seems kind of abrupt…
Honestly understandable with how the remakequel went. To my knowledge, only Sam Raimi has ever pulled that off.
We needed more Dragon's Dogma, well deserving of PXB's 10/10. Hopefully he makes something just as great wherever he goes.
He will go to Square Exix. You heard it here first!
I take it Dragon's Dogma 2 flopped
