As reported by GameBiz,<\/a> Capcom’s shares hit a new year-to-date high on the Tokyo Stock Exchange on September 7. The rise appears to reflect the market’s positive response to Onimusha: Way of the Sword<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new entry in Capcom’s classic sword action series released on September 4, and sold over 1 million units worldwide within 24 hours (as announced by Capcom today<\/a>). Launching amidst high praise from reviewers and an 85% Metacritic score, Onimusha: Way of the Sword quickly rose to the top of Steam’s global top sellers (in Japan, it occupied the spot for three days), and saw over 85 thousand concurrent players<\/a> on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alongside the game’s upgraded action, technology and graphics, Capcom attributes the success of Onimusha: Way of the Sword to its pre-launch marketing initiatives \u2013 including multiple demo releases and hands-on demo events \u2013 which helped boost the game’s visibility leading up to launch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
