Capcom has been on top lately. This year alone they released 3 critically acclaimed titles that can easily take Game of the Year. Devil May Cry V, Resident Evil 2 2019, and Monster Hunter World Iceborne. Each game has been positively received by fans and critics and Capcom wants to continue this upward trend with dormant franchises. Confirming the company is looking to revive dormant IPs.

Capcom is the home of legendary series such as Veautiful Joe, Onimusha, Darkstalkers, Ghosts n Goblins, and Dino Crisis. There have been rumors that Capcom is reviving Dino Crisis for some time. Giving the series the same treatment as Resident Evil 2 2019. However, personally, I want to see Mega Man Legends 3. I want Mega Man Volnutt's ending!

Other companies have found success doing this as well. The most notorious being Activision who revived Spyro the Dragon and Crash Bandicoot to huge success.
