The Saudi investment firm Misk Foundation, using its Electronic Gaming Development Company (EGDC) branch, has acquired a significant number of shares in Capcom, according to GameBiz<\/a> (thanks, Automaton<\/a>).<\/p>\n

The firm, owned by Saudi Arabian Crown Price Mohammed Bin Salman, now owns a 5.03% stake in Capcom after acquiring 26,788,500 shares. It has stressed, however, that its reasoning is for “pure investment”, which likely means it will simply earn profits from share increases.<\/p>\n

The move comes as Capcom celebrates the remarkable success of Resident Evil Requiem<\/a>, which just recently surpassed 6 million units sold<\/a>; the fastest any title in the series has achieved such a milestone. Capcom’s share price is currently on the rise, sitting at 3,562 JPY at the time of writing.<\/p>\n

Capcom also has a heavy-hitter in the form of Street Fighter 6<\/a>, which will shortly welcome veteran fighter Alex<\/a> into its roster via the Year 3 Fighters Pass. The Misk Foundation, meanwhile, wholly owns game developer SNK, which is perhaps best known for fighting franchises such as Fatal Fury<\/strong> and The King of Fighters<\/strong>, along with the 2D action series Metal Slug<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
