The company attributes this to insufficient marketing and the failure to generate buzz prior to release. Currently, Kunitsu-Gami is rated Generally Favorable on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.metacritic.com\/game\/kunitsu-gami-path-of-the-goddess\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Metacritic<\/a>, with a Metascore of 80 and a User Score of 7.9. On <a href=\"https:\/\/store.steampowered.com\/app\/2510710\/KunitsuGami_Path_of_the_Goddess\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Steam<\/a>, the game is rated Very Positive with over 1,149 reviews.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Unfortunately, it seems this did not translate to commercial success, at least not to the degree Capcom had in mind. On the other hand, Capcom reported that sales of new titles from existing franchises, such as&nbsp; Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, Ace Attorney Investigations Collection and Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, have been progressing according to forecasts.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1508\" height=\"851\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1508px) 100vw, 1508px\" src=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241118-40041-001.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40045\" srcset=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241118-40041-001.jpg 1508w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241118-40041-001-380x214.jpg 380w, https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/20241118-40041-001-768x433.jpg 768w\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Capcom\u2019s earnings for the first half of the fiscal year <a href=\"https:\/\/automaton-media.com\/en\/news\/capcom-reports-significant-drop-in-half-year-profits-but-forecasts-another-successful-fiscal-year\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">were weak compared to last year<\/a>, but the company says it\u2019s firmly on course to achieving its annual targets, especially considering the upcoming launch of Monster Hunter Wilds.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>IIn a Q&#038;A with shareholders, Capcom reported that Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess didn&#8217;t sell as planned despite high review scores.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":55,"featured_media":40044,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_gspb_post_css":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[17],"class_list":["post-40041","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-japan-related-news"],"blocksy_meta":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.4 -
