Monster Hunter Wilds helps drive record fiscal year for Capcom

Japanese publishing giant Capcom has reported record profit for its eighth consecutive financial year. 

According to its report for the 12 months ending March 2025, the company brought in ¥98.8 billion ($667 million) in gross profit, a 16 per cent increase on the previous year's figures. Net sales rose 11.3 per cent to reach ¥169.6 billion ($1.1 billion), while operating income was up 15.2 per cent year-on-year at ¥65.8 billion ($444 million). 

Capcom's video games business was the core driving factor behind its results. The company shifted 51.87 million units during the financial year, a five million increase on 2023/24. Monster Hunter Wilds was a big contributor to this performance after the action RPG sold ten million copies within its first month on sale; Capcom says that it also saw an increase in sales for other entries in the series off the back of Wilds' success. 

Looking forward to the 25/26 financial year, Capcom predicts net sales of ¥190 billion ($1.28 billion) and operating income of ¥73 billion ($492 million). This would be the ninth year in a row of record profits for the Japanese firm.
