  • Curated selection: The exhibition assembles concept art, character studies and production materials that reveal how iconic looks were refined during development.
  • Historical thread: Displays connect Capcom’s present catalogue to its origins in the early 1980s, offering context on how the studio’s craft and approach have changed.
  • Fan engagement: Attendees can see rarely publicized items and gain insight into the creative decisions behind familiar franchises.
