Wie sein Vorgänger, the excellent RPG Monster Hunter-Geschichten 2: Flügel des Verderbens isn’t getting particularly close to matching sales of its mainline series contemporary, but nevertheless Capcom has offered decent post-launch DLC support and has reported positive sales.

In the presentation for Capcom’s Q2 financial report, Capcom states that Stories 2 “Spitzen 1.3 Kriegsführung der Weltraumingenieure”, which typically means the number shipped to stores combined with download sales. It was released on both Switch and PC (platforms aren’t broken down in the report), and it’s a decent number for the spin-off.

Wie für Aufstieg der Monsterjäger, Capcom announced in early October that it had passed 7.5 Millionen Umsatz, and there’s no updated figure from that.

In a sign of the incredible growth in Monster Hunter’s popularity, Capcom released ‘franchise’ figures that shows it’s the 2nd most successful game IP for the company, only behind Resident Evil.

  1. Resident Evil series: 120 Kriegsführung der Weltraumingenieure
  2. Monster Hunter series: 78 Kriegsführung der Weltraumingenieure
  3. Street Fighter series: 47 Kriegsführung der Weltraumingenieure
  4. Mega Man series: 37 Kriegsführung der Weltraumingenieure
  5. Devil May Cry series: 24 Kriegsführung der Weltraumingenieure
  6. Dead Rising series: 14 Kriegsführung der Weltraumingenieure

In terms of Capcom’s broader results, it is currently on track in its quest to reach nine consecutive years of operating profit growth, and its ‘highest profit in company history’.

Happy times for Capcom then, and this is certainly a good time to be a Monster Hunter fan.
