The iconic developer remains on a roll
Capcom has released itsquarterly financial resultsfor the second quarter of its fiscal year, revealing that the legendary developer/publisher continues to see massive year-on-year growth in its global revenue.
The second fiscal quarter, ending June 27, 2025, saw a huge revenue increase of 35%, which translates to ¥88.1 billion (or roughly $774 million USD). The company’s operating income also hit a high, with an increase of around 44%, or ¥35 billion ($307 million). The huge increase was driven by sales across all Capcom franchises — most notably cash cowsMonster HunterandResident Evil.
Despite the fact that Capcom did not release any new games during the quarter in question, ongoing sales of its smash hits continued to fill the publisher’s coffers. 2021 releaseResident Evil Villagehas now surpassed 5.7 million shipped units, while its predecessor, 2017’sResident Evil VII, has finally hit the 10 million unit milestone. Over in the world ofMonster Hunter, Capcom revealed thatMonster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruinhas shipped over 1.4 million units, whileMonster Hunter Rise(as previously reported) has already hit a staggering eight million units in just a single year of release.
It’s almost tough to remember a time, just scant years ago, when it seemed as if Capcom was finally starting to lose its position as a template of excellence in gaming. The past few years have seen the company go through an incredible renaissance, knocking out hit after hit across its wide variety of long-running franchises — spearheaded by its biggest-selling release of all time,Monster Hunter: World.
Capcom is forecasting sales of around ¥100 billion ($880 million) for the fiscal year ending June 25, 2025. Clearly, the company is entering 2022 in a strong position, and with arumoredResident Evil 4remakeandanewStreet Fighterannouncementon the horizon, this success looks set to run and run.
