Pragmata and Resident Evil Requiem bolster a strong quarter for Capcom, as Monster Hunter and Street Fighter sales hit record highs

Capcom recorded an 81% increase in ordinary profit to $252.5 million for the first quarter of the fiscal year, a result attributed to high sales volumes across key gaming franchises. Resident Evil Requiem has reached 8 million units sold, effectively surpassing Resident Evil 5 to become the best-selling title in the series. Simultaneously, the game Pragmata reached a sales milestone of 2.5 million units.

GamesIndustry.biz notes that this financial growth is supported by record-high performance within the Monster Hunter and Street Fighter series. These figures position the company to exceed expectations set earlier in the fiscal year, as identified in analysis from Video Games Chronicle and Eurogamer.net. While current figures highlight broad success, the long-term impact on the company’s annual fiscal trajectory is not yet clear.

Coverage from Kotaku and IGN emphasizes the competitive standing of the Resident Evil franchise against other major industry titles, but exact projections for the remainder of the year have not been released.
