Capcom Reports Strong 2026 Sales but Monster Hunter Wilds Trails Expectations

The Q2 FY2026 update highlights a near-total shift to digital purchases with announced 2027 releases framed as the company’s route to sustained growth.

Overview

  • Capcom published its Q2 FY2026 sales update Tuesday showing Resident Evil Requiem added 450,000 copies in the quarter to reach 8.51 million lifetime sales.
  • New 2026 releases Pragmata and Onimusha: Way of the Sword also posted strong totals with Pragmata at 2.73 million and Onimusha at 1.78 million units.
  • Legacy titles continued to drive steady long-tail revenue with Resident Evil 4 selling 1.1 million copies in the quarter and other catalogue entries such as RE2, DMC5, and RE7 each adding hundreds of thousands of units.
  • Monster Hunter Wilds underperformed versus Capcom’s expectations and was outsold in the quarter by Monster Hunter World, a weakness that left Wilds off the company’s top-sellers table for the period.
  • Digital sales dominate Capcom’s business with 94.2% of purchases coming digitally and 57.1% on PC, and the company has flagged 2027 projects including Mega Man: Dual Override, the Wilds Ascendance expansion, and Resident Evil Veronica as the next growth drivers.
