Recent successes for the companies include the launches of "Are You Smarter Than A 10 Year Old?" in the UK and "Are You Smarter Than A 5TH Grader?™" for mobile in the U.S. This has been followed up with Capcom's recent launch of the official "University Challenge" mobile game in the U.K.

Under the new management structure, Matt Gillis (Executive Vice President of Publishing) will lead commercial activities, with Manabu Seko (Head of Studios) leading Capcom's R&D functions in London, Toronto and Los Angeles.
