Capcom's decision to follow Telltale's hugely successful
episodic format bred some surprise among the
gaming community, which previously recognized the
episodic medium as aimed towards much more
narrative - driven games.
While the increased stake in the share capital of Kylotonn Racing guaranteed Bigben a strong position in racing simulation games, the acquisition of Cyanide studio will allow the Group to extend its offer to major
gaming genres not yet present in its current portfolio (strategic and tactical games,
narrative and
episodic games, shooting games, management games) or complementary to its catalogue (sport simulations and action - adventure games), thus strengthening its publishing strategy.
