Resident Evil Requiem Sales Prompt Capcom to Raise Profit Forecast
Capcom has raised its full-year profit forecast following the exceptional commercial performance of Resident Evil Requiem, which has exceeded 7 million copies sold and continues climbing. The success of the game has contributed to the publisher outperforming its previous financial projections across multiple metrics, including net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit.
In addition to Requiem’s strong showing, Capcom has experienced unexpected growth in sales of its legacy titles, revealing continued demand for its established franchises and back catalog. The publisher has maintained this momentum through continued content support for other major tentpole franchises, with Monster Hunter Wilds and Street Fighter 6 both receiving substantial post-launch updates and additional content throughout the past year.
The combination of new release success and sustained player engagement with established franchises has resulted in Capcom’s financial performance significantly exceeding its previously announced guidance for the fiscal year.
