Capcom Shares Drop on Slowing Monster Hunter Wilds Sales

Capcom is accelerating endgame content to early August to address soft Wilds sales.

Overview

  • Capcom reported only 477,000 additional Monster Hunter Wilds copies sold in Q1 FY25, bringing its lifetime total to 10.585 million.
  • Net revenue rose 53.7% year-on-year and operating profit jumped 90.8% in Q1 FY25, driven by strong catalog title performance.
  • Persistent PC optimization issues have led to thousands of “Overwhelmingly Negative” Steam reviews, hindering ongoing player engagement.
  • Following the soft sales report, Capcom’s share price in Japan plunged 9.5%, falling to a low of ¥3,874.
  • Planned endgame features set for a September update will now arrive in Version 1.021 in early August to reignite player interest.
