Capcom Posts Record Year, Sets Bigger Targets With PC Push and Franchise Revivals

The company turns recent hits into a longer runway by forecasting higher sales as it scales its development pipeline.

Overview

  • Capcom, which reported FY2026 results on Wednesday, logged its highest-ever consolidated sales and operating profit and sold 59.07 million games.
  • Resident Evil Requiem reached about seven million sales by April, becoming the franchise’s fastest seller and lifting older Resident Evil titles.
  • Management forecasts ¥210 billion in net sales and ¥58 billion in net income for FY2027, with a goal of about 65 million units and added momentum from Pragmata and Onimusha.
  • Investor slides list Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Onimusha, Dead Rising, Ace Attorney, Dragon’s Dogma, and Okami as series to be “nurtured” via sequels, remakes, ports, or new projects, which signals plans rather than firm announcements.
  • Digital purchases made up 93% of game sales and PC accounted for roughly 54.5%, and Capcom says it will use generative AI for routine development tasks and hire over 100 developers each year.
