Capcom have opted out of exhibiting at one of the most anticipated events on the gaming calendar partly due to the ban of their action/horror game, Dead Rising. This announcement came shortly after Sega chose not to attend the event, stating that it was for commericial reasons rather than Capcoms more political removal.

One of the most important events in the gaming calendar was dealt another blow today with publishing giant Capcom declining the chance to exhibit there.

And an official statement by Capcom shows that its absence from Gamescom is in part due to a controversial ban on action/horror title Dead Rising.

Capcom’s decision to skip Gamescom also comes after rival publisher Sega announced it won’t be attending the Cologne-based event.
