According to the latest filing, EDIC’s investment in Capcom is simply that, an investment. There are no ulterior motives. However, the rising stake in the company will give Salman more pull with Capcom. This would align with his previous efforts in the video game space, which saw Salman take over Capcom rival SNK in 2022 via his MiSK Foundation.
Capcom and SNK are rivals in the fighting video game market. Capcom’s most popular series is Street Fighter, while SNK’s is The King of Fighters. The two have also collaborated in the past with crossover titles, such as SNK vs. Capcom. Today’s news has sparked interest in a potential new entry in this series, and has also spurred speculation that Salman may be interested in acquiring Capcom in the same manner that he did with SNK.
