The massive success of Resident Evil Requiem has prompted Capcom to revise its earnings forecast upward for the fiscal year. In a recently released financial statement, the Resident Evil publisher revealed that Requiem's impressive sales—now reaching 7 million copies and still growing—have led to "net sales, operating profit, ordinary profit and net profit" that all "outperform our previously announced forecast."
Capcom also noted unexpected growth in sales of older titles, further boosting overall performance. Over the past year, the company has been actively supporting Monster Hunter Wilds and Street Fighter 6 with additional content.
The company now projects net sales of 195.3 billion yen (approximately $1.2 billion), an increase of about 3% from its earlier forecast for the 12 months ending March 31, 2026. Net profit is expected to reach 54.5 billion yen ($320 million), up 6.9% from the previous projection.
"In our core Digital Contents business, in addition to Resident Evil Requiem (the latest title in the Resident Evil series released in the fourth quarter of the fiscal year ended March 31, 2026) receiving broad acclaim globally, sales grew for catalog titles from major series due to their steady popularity," Capcom wrote. "Additionally, Arcade Operations, Amusement Equipments, and Other Businesses all performed favorably."
Requiem has been shattering sales records since its launch, selling a stunning 5 million copies in just five days—making it the fastest-selling Resident Evil game in franchise history. Fans still have plenty to look forward to, including a mysterious content update next month that players expect will introduce a new version of The Mercenaries mode, especially after a datamine leak revealed tense new music. Following that, a full story DLC is also in development.
