Resident Evil 2 Remake exceeded Capcom’s expectations, Devil May Cry 5 also performed strongly

Capcom has released the Fiscal Report for the Forth and Final Quarter of the Fiscal Year 2018/2019 that ended March 2019. During that final quarter, Resident Evil 2 Remake saw a great success and Devil May Cry 5 also performed well. Furthermore, Monster Hunter: World, which shook up the market last year, broke 12 million cumulative units shipped following the additional release of the PC version, marking a record high for any single title in the Company’s history.

As the press release reads, the popularity of major title Resident Evil 2 exceeded expectations, driving the Company’s business performance. Devil May Cry 5 targeted overseas markets and also performed strongly, backed by consistent demand. Additionally, the Monster Hunter series contributed significantly to improving profits: flagship title Monster Hunter: World, which was a phenomenal success in the previous fiscal year, maintained popularity through the expansion of its user base, while the Steam version for PC also performed solidly, boosting profits.

In addition, Mega Man 11 and Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection performed well, and high-margin cataloge titles, including Resident Evil 7 biohazard, increased sales through their enduring popularity.

Moving forward, Capcom will strengthen digital download and catalog sales, with the aim of continuing to grow the Digital Contents business. Further, in response to the worldwide excitement surrounding esports, and the increased attention paid to them within the Japanese market, Capcom is redoubling its commitment to making this sector a priority area, and aims to grow the player base worldwide through running leagues that utilize Street Fighter.

    1. if you’re a grown up adult and enjoy button mashing games then there’s something wrong with your brain. resident evil 2 remake wasn’t bad but it wasn’t good either.

      1. Dude, these companies stop making good games 7-9 years ago. Now all you get are pretty Graphics and more pew pew pew.

      2. And, yes, i do enjoy button mashing games, just like i enjoy first person shooters. If they have quality, of course. And DMC 6, unlike DMC, has quality. Same goes for RE2 Remake. I’ve been a long @ss fan of these franchises, and the fact that now their back and people love are still loving them, well, i can’t help it but be happy. You should stop thinking so much of your opinion, because, you know, for most of us, it doesn’t mean s hit.

        1. ” You should stop thinking so much of your opinion, because, you know, for most of us, it doesn’t mean s hit.”
          it certainly doesn’t look like it.

          1. How so. Literally no one in this comment section gives a f uck about what you think. I don’t either, but since you responded to my comment, i had to respond to your sad comment too.

          2. it seems like my opinion rustled someone’s feathers, is that a sign of not giving f?

      3. That’s your opinion, that i don’t give a damn about. So, how i already said, try keeping it for yourself only. Cuz’ i have no interest in what a random brat on the internet has to say.

  1. Yay…another REmake game done as a circle jerk to RE4. hurray. Oh wait no thats awful. Well, the REmakes WERE a good idea while they still were one.

        1. all RE’s prior RE4 are good ones (HD remasters&RE0 included). everything else is heresy!

        1. are you really that stupid that you need a proof for console sales surpassing pc?do you live under a rock?

          1. Yes, insulting the man is really gonna prove your argument to be even more solid. Because we all know just how much insults = facts. You’re a moron dude. Ain’t gonna lie, I thought you were capable of rational thought and talking like an adult but boy was I wrong. You just run around spew insults, and try to mask it as facts.

          2. to my knowledge, everyone knows games on consoles outsell pc most of the time if not all the time. even if you have never seen a sale chart in your entire life, the fact that public companies and big boys of game industry prioritize consoles all the time should tell you which platforms are more profitable. you and him both never thought about this so it certainly doesn’t make you look smart. you can also google sale comparison yourself and that’d still prove my point. so tell me how is calling someone like you and him “stupid” an insult when it’s a fact?
            zzzzzzzz

          4. There is nothing to play on consoles. And if some new game is there than everyone will buy it cuz they have no choice

          5. nonsense, there are a lot more games on consoles than what you think. it’s like me saying pc gamers play only cheap or free 2d games. regardless, it doesn’t change the fact that games sell more on consoles.

          6. there are a lot more games on consoles than what you think.

            Like ?

            “it doesn’t change the fact that games sell more on consoles.”

            Because they have no choise?
            Because the console players are buying games on consoles cuz its the only platform where the game is ?
            Because of marketing?

          7. like almost every single successful indie game on pc. so if you think about it, pc is left with strategies and asset flips.
            rest of your comment is redundant and gibberish.

          8. your comment is redundant and gibberish……..

            I wanted some names like good console game names and you bring up strategies and asset flips and indie games……

            What game can i play on console very day what is good and have lost of content …. “Console only”

      1. BS & you know it is. Especially overtime, PC makes way more money. Because there is no “used” games on PC like there is on console. PC is where games go if they wanna keep making money overtime and never die. PC makes more money in its entirety and it’s been proven time and time again.

        1. pc does not make more money, stop being stupid. pc industry generates more money but sales on pc have always been lower than consoles. it’s a fact, not an opinion.

          1. Just because you say it’s a fact, it doesn’t mean it really is. Again, show me the statistics. And no, i do not live under a rook, i just never was interested in what platform makes the more money.

          2. Yup, but i have no reason to search. If you are making claims and act like they are “facts” then be ready to back them up before someone calls your bullshi t out.

          3. i’m not doing any research for you. you can keep being a dumb baboon that you are.

          4. The shut the f uck up with your so called “facts”. If you can’t back up what you’re saying, then don’t say anything at all.
            Also, don’t worry, that’s your job. I wouldn’t want to take the only thing you’re good at.

          5. how nice of you, i always knew you were a heart warming considerate person.

          6. Now i get why all your comments are flagged as spam, even the website can smell your stupidity in every damn comment. Woldn’t blame anyone who doesn’t want to deal with your BS though.

          7. as i recall yours get detected as spam as well. seems like you’re in same league as me.

          8. Yup. 2 only. “Dindu nuttin, and he dindu nothin'”. But i wouldn’t blame the site though, i bet that sentence is overused on Disqus, so, it became spam.

          9. Nah, dear, it was flagged as spam just when i finished typing it. Try not to be so proud of yourself, lil’ girl.

            Back to tumblr. Where your kind belongs, away from society.

      2. And u know why ? Cuz console peasant have no choice. They are buying what ever comes out cuz they have no games to play … .

        1. I actually have no choice. Most console users don’t. The only reason i even own a ps4, is because i can’t play those exclusive titles on PC. Exclusive games are about the only thing that keeps the consoles alive.

  2. Capcom released two of my absolute fav games of the last year. MHW (incredible) and RE2. It’s funny cuz I’ve been burned by Capcom on PC in the past…. Please keep this streak alive!

  3. Capcom is at least doing something right, more than we can say for most companies. RE2 Remake was ok, it was better than 4,5 and 6 for sure so I’m not going to get pedantic at the moment. Keep up the good work.

    As long as they do Code Veronica, I couldn’t care less about 3 really but I’ll buy a remake if it’s half decent, but I’m more interested in Onimusha 2 and 3 HD please. Dino Crisis. Hook us up with some Godhand.
