In the fiscal year ended March 31, 2025, Capcom recorded its eighth consecutive year of record-high profits. According to the company’s forecasts, the next fiscal year is expected to continue the streak, with both sales and profit projected at all-time highs (as reported by GameBiz).
The full forecast is as follows:
Sales: 190 billion yen (up 12.0% year-on-year)
Operating profit: 73 billion yen (up 11.0% year-on-year)
Ordinary profit: 70 billion yen (up 6.6% year-on-year)
Net profit: 51 billion yen (up 5.3% year-on-year)
Capcom’s targets for the fiscal year ended March 2025 were heavily weighted toward Monster Hunter Wilds, which released in the fourth quarter and shipped over 10 million copies, successfully turning around the first three quarters’ comparatively weaker figures.
On the other hand, Capcom’s forecast for the ongoing fiscal year (ending March 31, 2026) expects growth to come mainly from catalogue sales, i.e. sales of games released in previous fiscal periods (which includes continued sales of Monster Hunter Wilds). Sales of new games (released after April 1, 2025) are expected to drop by 35.4% percent to 8 million units, while catalogue sales are expected to grow by 16.5% to 46 million copies.
Capcom’s new releases for the current fiscal year include Capcom Fighting Collection 2, and Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny, as well as the Nintendo Switch 2 versions of Street Fighter 6 and Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess. The launch of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, the Onimusha franchises’ first new mainline entry in 20 years, is also planned sometime in 2026, although it’s not known yet whether this will be within the current fiscal year.
