Capcom has announced the Capcom Games Competition. This will be the first competition for students, which is open to participants aged 18 and over studying at universities in Japan.

Participants will form teams of up to 20 people and create games using development tools, including Capcom's proprietary RE Engine, which they will access via the cloud.

The teams will be assigned roles in line with typical game development positions and will be supported by Capcom's professional developers. Participants will have six months to create and submit their projects.
