Hideaki Itsuno worked on Rival Schools and Power Stone before saving the DMC series and creating a unique pair of RPGs
Hideaki Itsuno, one of Capcom’s most experienced and successful designers, has left the company after working there for over 30 years. Itsuno was a key steward of the Devil May Cry series and the creator and director of Dragon’s Dogma and its recent sequel, Dragon’s Dogma 2; his departure leaves a question mark hanging over the future of both series, but particularly Dragon’s Dogma, a unique take on action role-playing games guided by Itsuno’s distinctive vision for the genre.
“I have an announcement for all my followers,” Itsuno posted to X. “At the end of August 2024, I will be leaving Capcom after 30 years and 5 months. Thank you for your long-term support of the games and characters I have been responsible for.
