The big winners of the last quarter of 2021 in the Capcom catalog naturally belong to the two queen franchises, Resident Evil and Monster Hunter. As announced last week, Resident Evil Village and Monster Hunter Rise have respectively reached 5.7 million and 7.7 million copies distributed worldwide as of December 31. The second named even crossed the 8 million mark last month on the occasion of its successful release on Steam.
Among the old, Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 Remake continue to impress. The two games earned 400,000 sales each between October and December and now have 10.6 million and 9.3 million sales respectively. Spectacular figures that would almost make those of Resident Evil 3 Remake look like a semi-disappointment, while the latter is still approaching 5 million in sales and fought well with 300,000 additional units in the last quarter.
At the same time, Monster Hunter World continues its journey with 200,000 additional sales, bringing its total to 17.8 million. The One to Call “Mister” remains by far the biggest hit in Capcom’s history, and that’s not including Monster Hunter World: Iceborne’s 8.8 million (300,000 additional sales last quarter). ).
As always, Capcom’s success is also based on the richness of its catalog that can be found on many download platforms. Titles like Devil May Cry 5 (4.8 million), Street Fighter V (6.1 million), Marvel vs. Capcom Infinite (1.8 million), Okami HD (1.8 million), Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy (1.4 million) or even DuckTales Remastered (1.5 million) are among the games that have climbed a step of more in recent months.
