Capcom set to dissolve subsidiary developer Flagship
The developer Flagship is going to be liquidated and merged with Capcom this June 1 (this is not the Flagship Studios that developed Hellgate: London). This is in keeping with the streamlining of Capcom’s operations which began with the merger and liquidation of two other studios: Clover Studio and Studio 8.
Flagship, which was established in 1997, is responsible for games such as The Legend of Zelda: The Minish Cap, The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past, Kirby and the Amazing Mirror, and Kirby Squeak Squad. However, the employees of the company will not be canned, because they will still be working for Capcom “in the same capacities.”
So how will this streamlining affect the game developer? It’s still uncertain, but we can expect their investors to be happy with the efforts the company is doing to increase their profit margin.
