Histoires de chasseurs de monstres 2: Wings Of Ruin dépasse le million de ventes
Like its predecessor, the excellent RPG Histoires de chasseurs de monstres 2: Ailes de la ruine 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 “hauts 1.3 millions d'unités”, 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.
Pour ce qui est de Monster Hunter Rise, Capcom announced in early October that it had passed 7.5 millions de ventes, 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.
- Resident Evil series: 120 millions d'unités
- Monster Hunter series: 78 millions d'unités
- Street Fighter series: 47 millions d'unités
- série Mega Man: 37 millions d'unités
- Devil May Cry series: 24 millions d'unités
- Dead Rising series: 14 millions d'unités
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.
