Capcom expands to Asia with Monster Hunter Frontier

After conquering the MMORPG genre, Blizzard now has plans of going into the mobile industry. Quite curiously, we found out that Capcom is doing quite the reverse as plans to delve in the World of Warcraft-dominated arena were revealed with the help of upcoming title Monster Hunter Frontier.

The title is actually a MMO version of the PlayStation 2 (PS2) and PlayStation Portable originals Monster Hunter Freedom and Monster Hunter Portable 2. With the upcoming release on June, what Capcom did was open a consolidated subsidiary office in South Korea that will oversee the title’s success in the region.

Aside from focusing on online video games, the new Capcom office is also reported to take care of the company’s publishing business throughout Asia. The South Korea HQ actually began operations earlier today. This development could only mean two thing: more Capcom titles for our friends in Asia and second, another potential rival to WoW.
