Saudi-based Electronic Gaming Development Company (EGDC), a subsidiary of Misk Investments, has announced the acquisition of a 5.03% stake in Capcom, the Japanese video game developer and publisher.
The deal involved the purchase of approximately 26.7 million shares in Capcom, one of the most prominent gaming companies in Japan and globally. The company is known for developing major gaming franchises such as Resident Evil and Street Fighter.
Capcom is also associated with the Japanese gaming company SNK, which is widely recognized for its role in the arcade and fighting game industry.
The investment reflects the broader strategy of Saudi entities to expand their presence in the global gaming sector. Previously, the Public Investment Fund (PIF) had also acquired more than a 5% stake in Capcom as part of the Kingdom’s efforts to strengthen its position in the international gaming and digital entertainment industry.
