Capcom has finalized their acquisition of the Canadian developer, Blue Castle Games. An important move for them considering that the company developed Capcom’s hit Dead Rising 2.

Acquisition of the Vancouver based developer Blue Castle Games was originally announced at the Tokyo Games Show but was waiting for Canadian authorities to OK the deal. The studio will now be a wholly owned subsidiary known as Capcom Game Studio Vancouver.

Capcom also confirmed that since its release at the end of September Dead Rising 2 has achieved global shipment numbers of over two million units, bringing the total number of units of the Dead Rising franchise shipped worldwide to date to over four million.
