Capcom Taiwan’s Game Development Department Reportedly Dissolving

While Capcom has yet to make an official announcement, growing evidence suggests that Capcom Taiwan’s internal game development division, the team behind Mega Man X DiVE, is being dissolved.

Several former Capcom Taiwan employees have taken to Threads in recent days to announce their departures from the studio. One longtime staff member wrote that after “nearly eleven years” with the company, many of their old colleagues “also graduated [left] last weekend.” Others thanked Capcom Taiwan for the experience and the opportunity to work on games they loved since childhood. Some of these posts included farewell gatherings and images showing the development office cleared out.

Although Capcom Taiwan is still recruiting for IP licensing and authorization roles, the recent staff posts strongly indicate that its internal development team is being wound down. This division was responsible for Mega Man X DiVE, which launched in 2020 for mobile and was later reissued as Mega Man X DiVE Offline. 

The studio also briefly pursued a co-developed NFT project based on X DiVE, but that initiative was quietly dropped. LinkedIn profiles of former team members indicated that new RE Engine-based projects were once in development for both mobile and home consoles, though these efforts appear to have ended sometime in 2024. There's no concrete evidence to suggest that these were Mega Man projects.

The apparent closure of Capcom Taiwan's development branch comes a little over a year after Capcom’s acquisition of Minimum Studios, a 3DCG production company based in Taipei. This points to a possible restructuring of Capcom’s development footprint in Taiwan rather than a full withdrawal from the region.
