  "textContent": "Saudi Arabia-based investment fund **Electronic Gaming Development Company** (EGDC) continues to increase its influence in the gaming world by purchasing a 5% stake in the Japanese gaming giant **Capcom**.\n\nThe interest of Saudi investment firms in the gaming industry has been increasing at an incredible rate in recent years. As you may recall, it was on the agenda that the Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) could become the majority owner of **EA** as part of a new agreement. Now, **Capcom** , the creator of legendary series such as **Resident Evil** and **Street Fighter** , has received a massive investment from another Saudi-based entity.\n\n## Saudi EGDC Is Now a 5% Partner of Capcom\n\nAccording to reports, EGDC has acquired 26,788,500 shares, holding a 5.03% stake in **Capcom**. The company's primary purpose in this acquisition is to generate profit from increases in stock prices or dividends. EGDC, which is owned by Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman through the MiSK Foundation, also owns 100% of **SNK Corporation** , the producer of the **Fatal Fury** and **King of Fighters** series.\n\nThis move by EGDC is not the first Saudi investment in **Capcom**. The Saudi Public Investment Fund (PIF) also holds a similar stake. In 2022, the PIF purchased a 5% stake in **Capcom** and **Nexon Co.** for $1.2 billion. Additionally, last month, it was discussed that the Saudi Savvy Group could acquire Moonton, which houses the **Mobile Legends: Bang Bang** brand, from ByteDance for $7 billion.\n\n## Things Are Going Well at Capcom\n\nIn addition to the investment news, **Capcom** continues to break records with its game sales. One of the company's greatest achievements in recent times, **Resident Evil 4 Remake selling over 9 million units** , has solidified its title as the fastest-selling game in the series' history. If you want to embark on this horror-filled adventure, you can check our **Resident Evil 4 system requirements** list to see if your computer is ready for this horror.\n\nOn the other hand, leaks are not limited to existing games. Claims that **Resident Evil 0 and Code Veronica Remake** projects are on the way have excited fans, while **when Resident Evil 9 will be released** remains a matter of great curiosity.\n\nSo, what do you think about Saudi Arabia's massive investments in the gaming world? How do you think this will affect the future of **Capcom** games? Let's meet in the comments!\n\n_For the latest_ _gaming guides_ _and_ _system requirements_ _, you can follow GamingAlly on_ _Instagram_ _,__Twitter_ _and Google News._",
