Capcom has announced it intends to ditch exclusive titles in favour of multiplatform releases.

According to Edge, the company unveiled its new strategy in its latest annual report, posted yesterday.

"All major titles launched during the next fiscal year or thereafter will be developed as multiplatform games", said the report. "We will aim to increase revenue and dramatically increase the number of users by launching, for example, Resident Evil 5, the newest addition to our biggest franchise (projected 2.3 million units), Street Fighter IV (projected 1.7 million units) and Bionic Commando (projected 1.5 million units)."

The report also stated that multiplatform releases had been a key factor in the company's Westward growth.
