Japanese publishing giant Capcom has acquired Minimum Studios. 

In a release to investors, the company said that it had bought the animation outfit for 888,888 New Taiwan dollars (~$27,300). Minimum has previously worked with Capcom on a number of titles, including animation work on Dragon's Dogma 2, Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 4 Remake. 

The company was founded in 2018. 

"Based in Taiwan, Minimum Studios’ strength lies in animation production for consumer home video game development, and the studio has carried out work on major Capcom titles in the past," the publisher wrote. 

"Capcom decided to make the studio its subsidiary company to sustainably bolster its developmental and technological capabilities, aiming to achieve its long-term management goal of 100 million units in annual sales." 

In July 2023, Capcom acquired graphics firm Swordcanes.
