Capcom revises forecast upward with success of Resident Evil Requiem

Capcom announced it was revising its full-year earnings forecast upward after the release of recent successful games. The successful games include Resident Evil Requiem, which has received huge critical acclaim, and the recently released Pragmata. The latter sold a million copies in its first wo days, but Capcom did not cite it as a reason for the upward revision since it was released after the fiscal year ended. Capcom said Resident Evil Requiem sold more than five million copies. Based on recent operational results, Capcom Co., Ltd. revised the full-year consolidated earnings forecast for the year ended March 31, 2026 (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) that was announced on May 13, 2025. Further, while the company’s non-consolidated earnings forecast is not disclosed, it expects a variance between its non-consolidated estimated earnings and the actual results of the previous fiscal year. Additionally, the company has revised the dividend forecast for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026 (April 1, 2025 to March 31, 2026) due to factors including its business performance. The company said that in its core digital contents business, in addition to Resident Evil Requiem (the latest title in the Resident Evil series that was released in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026) being met with broad acclaim globally, sales grew for catalog titles from major series due to their steady popularity. Additionally, Arcade Operations, Amusement Equipments, and Other Businesses all performed favorably. As a result, Capcom expects net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit, and net profit attributable to owners of the parent to all outperform our previously announced forecast. Capcom’s market value, about $9 billion, is up a few percent today. The post Capcom revises forecast upward with success of Resident Evil Requiem appeared first on GamesBeat.
