Resident Evil Requiem Pre-Orders Exceeded Capcom's Expectations
In turn, Monster Hunter Wilds did not meet investors' expectations.
Capcom continues to demonstrate steady growth, despite the fact that Monster Hunter Wilds did not meet investors' expectations as the main revenue driver. According to Bloomberg, the company's shares rose by 12%, showing the largest single-day increase on Wednesday in the last year and a half.
Street Fighter 6 and other older titles performed well, but the Resident Evil franchise was particularly successful last month. Moreover, pre-orders for Resident Evil Requiem have already exceeded Capcom's internal forecasts.
Resident Evil Requiem attracted particular attention a few weeks after the release of the first trailer, surpassing the one million mark for additions to wishlists. Interest in the project was maintained thanks to the active work of developers and marketing, including after the announcement of Leon Kennedy as the second playable character.
