Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated Sep 17

Capcom opened the special site for CAPCOM GAMES COMPETITION 2027 on June 1, 2026, and began accepting entries on September 14. The entry window closes November 30, 2026. The competition is a student game development contest built around Capcom's in-house RE ENGINE.

Eligibility is limited to students aged 18 or older at Japanese universities, graduate schools, or vocational schools. They may enter individually or in teams of up to 20. The Grand Prize is 5 million yen, and the total prize pool exceeds 10 million yen. Participants get a cloud-based development environment, technical support from Capcom developers, and a six-month production period.

Both stories confirm the same prize figures and the same September 14 to November 30 entry window, so the contest's terms are settled as coverage moves from the site opening to the start of submissions.
