During the consolidated earnings call for the first quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026, Capcom was asked whether the weak sales of Monster Hunter: The Wilderness were offset by sales of old series such as Devil May Cry and Resident Evil.The company confirmed that this is indeed the case.

According to Capcom, Monster Hunter: Wilderness sales in the first quarter were lower than initial expectations.On the contrary, the Devil May Cry series achieved sales growth through the coordinated promotion of the new animation, while the Resident Evil series led to sales due to the promotional activities during the release date of the new work "Resident Evil: Requiem".

Regarding the correlation between the sales growth of Devil May Cry and the launch of animation, Capcom pointed out that the long-term sales of the old works of the series have always increased steadily.After Netflix was launched in April 2025, it received a good response and ranked among the top in the platform.The company said that through the discount activities launched by animation broadcasts, game sales have increased in all regions around the world.Management believes that this promotion has not only successfully stimulated the demand of old players in the series, but also attracted the attention of new audiences.

Regarding whether the sales growth momentum of the Devil May Cry series can continue to the second quarter and beyond, Capcom expects the sales growth rate of the series to gradually slow down in the second quarter and subsequent periods.
