We’re slowly losing expressions to express the remarkable performance of Capcom over the past ten or so years.
The Japanese publisher has just revealed its financial results for the fiscal year 2024, and once again, it has accomplished astounding figures. With net sales and profit “in all aspects”, this marks the company’s eighth year in a row of absolute growth.
Unsurprisingly, Monster Hunter Wilds has played a significant role in maintaining Capcom’s momentum. The action RPG debuted back in February, and managed to sell over 10 million copies in its first month.
But it’s not solely the publisher’s newest hits that are pulling their load. As you might have noticed, older Capcom games frequently feature in PS Store discounts, resulting in a constant stream of sales.
Games like Devil May Cry 5, Monster Hunter Rise, and various Resident Evil iterations have moved 1 million units each throughout the fiscal year, offering a solid foundation for the company to leverage for future releases.
Despite the string of successes, it’s worth mentioning that Capcom predicts a decline in new game sales during this fiscal year. The forecast could mean that the company doesn’t plan on releasing any significantly big games between now and April 2026.
With the next mainline Resident Evil unquestionably in the works, Onimusha: Way of the Sword penciled in for 2026, and an eventual expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds on the horizon, we foresee Capcom flourishing for some time.
But did you ever envision Capcom reaching such heights? Share your thoughts about other publishers’ potential envy in the comments section below.

Robert (or Rob for the laid-back) is Push Square’s assistant editor, having been a fan of PlayStation since the 90s when Tekken 2 introduced him to the remarkable realm of video games. While he takes his fighting games seriously, RPGs are his genuine love. Whether it’s The Witcher, Persona, Dragon Quest, Mass Effect, Final Fantasy, Trails, or Tales — he’s played them all. Perhaps a bit too much, according to some.
