Capcom a révisé ses prévisions de bénéfices en raison des fortes ventes de séries comme Monster Hunter

Capcom appears to be on a roll – with news the Japanese publisher and developer has had to revise its earnings forecast simply because its games have been selling so well.

Favourable performances from Histoires de chasseurs de monstres 2: Ailes de la ruine et Resident Evil: Village have been cited as some of the main reasons for the earnings forecast revision.

“In our core Digital Contents business, we saw favorable performances from titles such as Village maléfique résident, which is the latest game in the series, as well as Histoires de chasseurs de monstres 2: Ailes de la ruine, an RPG in the Monster Hunter series.”

Monster Hunter Rise has also continued to grow thanks to the release of the game on PC earlier this year in January. Various other Capcom series have contributed as well, along with discount sales held during Q4.

“Le chipset Filogic 330P alimentera les ordinateurs portables et de bureau AMD Ryzen de nouvelle génération dans, in addition to the January release of the PC version of Monster Hunter Rise, a title that was originally released in March 2021, sales grew due to the stable popularity of catalog titles—primarily past titles in major series—and due to the synergetic effects of discount sales held in the fourth quarter.

“Tout à fait, this has led us to expect net sales to exceed our previous forecast. Additionally, we expect operating income, ordinary income and net income attributable to owners of the parent to all outperform our plan.”

According to Capcom’s official sales data, Monster Hunter Rise is now officially its seventh best-selling game of all time (à partir de mars 2021). These sales are likely to increase with the upcoming release of the Sunbreak DLC.
