This week, Capcom presented its financial results for the quarter ending June 30. The Japanese company saw its net sales climb 53.7% year-on-year and its operating profit rise 90.8%.
Unfortunately, this didn’t prevent the publisher from plunging at the opening of the stock market on Thursday. The share price fell from ¥4,283 (€24.97) to ¥3,874 (€22.59), a drop of 9.5%. And the culprit is clear as a day.
While Monster Hunter Wilds sold 8 million copies in a week and then 10 million in a month, the phenomenon has since largely run out of steam. Between April 1 and June 30, 2025, the title only sold 477,000 more units. At the same time, Monster Hunter Rise, which was originally released in March 2021, sold 389,000 copies.
Capcom acknowledged that Monster Hunter Wilds’ performance was "weak" this quarter. To reassure investors, the company highlighted strong sales of Resident Evil 4 and Resident Evil Village following the announcement of Resident Evil Requiem in June. Devil May Cry 5 also received praise.
