Capcom Posts Blowout Q1 as Resident Evil Requiem Tops 8 Million and Pragmata Breaks 2.5 Million

The company says strong new‑game launches, catalogue pricing and digital sales lifted profit and share price and make a Pragmata sequel likely.

Overview

  • Capcom released its Q1 FY2026 results on Tuesday showing net sales of ¥70.41 billion and operating profit of ¥41.05 billion driven by 23.81 million units sold.
  • Resident Evil Requiem has passed 8 million cumulative sales and the Resident Evil franchise now totals about 213 million lifetime units, making it one of Capcom’s largest long‑running assets.
  • Pragmata sold roughly 2.5 million copies since its April launch and company officers said its momentum exceeded expectations and that the likelihood of a sequel is high.
  • Investors reacted strongly, sending Capcom shares up near 20% the following day while management kept the full‑year guidance unchanged at ¥210 billion in net sales.
  • Capcom attributes the quarter to a shift toward digital and catalogue sales, plus promotional pricing and cross‑media tie‑ins, and points to an active release pipeline that underpins continued revenue growth.
