Capcom to release “multiple major new titles” by March 31, 2021

Capcom plans to release “multiple major new titles” by March 31, 2021, the company said in its fiscal year 2019 results presentation.

The company aims to achieve a record 28 million unit sales in the fiscal year ending March 2021, which it intends to do by promoting a digital strategy via the expansion of sales regions and flexible pricing, releasing the aforementioned major titles, and pursuing ongoing sales for major titles from past years. A total of 13 new title SKUs are planned, three of which should already be filled by the April 3-released Resident Evil 3 remake for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC.

To compare, in the fiscal year ended March 2018, when Capcom shipped Monster Hunter: World and Marvel vs. Capcom: Infinite, the company achieved 24.4 million total unit sales. In the fiscal year ended March 2019, when it shipped Resident Evil 2 and Devil May Cry 5, it achieved 25.3 million total unit sales. And in the fiscal year ended March 2020, when it shipped Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, it achieved 25.5 million total unit sales.

Capcom also announced that sales of the Resident Evil 3 remake have topped 2.5 million units, and sales of Monster Hunter: World have surpassed 15.5 million units.
