Big changes are coming to Capcom as producer Peter Rosas known in the professional fighting game community as Combo Fiend has announced his departure from the studio.

Getting his start as a community manager, Rosas has been with the company for half a decade and has helped with the development of Capcom's biggest titles today such as "Street Fighter 5" and "Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite."

In a post on Capcom Unity, Rosas made the official announcement:

I've been fortunate enough to work on the games that shaped my life, a definite dream come true, but now I feel it's time for the next generation to be able to do the same.

While Rosas has been a huge part of Capcom and the titles it recently came out with, he says that there is nothing to worry about with regard to the quality of what the studio will offer now that he is gone:

There's no doubt in my mind that the current generation has their own unique ideas that will push Capcom's fighting games forward in terms of innovation and evolution. I definitely look forward to seeing those ideas come to fruition in the future ... I'm confident the team here will continue to do great work for all of us who love not only fighting games, but games in general.

Rosas did not talk about what he intends to do as far as game producing is concerned now that he is out of Capcom. What he did say is that he will remain in the community as a gamer and a fan.

Although my time at Capcom has come to an end, the interactions and experiences I've had with everyone online and in person easily remain as some of my most memorable experiences. Thanks to you all for the fond memories.

While it is a mystery what Capcom will be like and what the games and content they will release will be with Rosas not part of the team, getting to know and experience it is an idea that excites fans.
