Capcom has just released its third-quarter earnings report for Fiscal Year 2025, confirming that its iconic survival horror franchise, Resident Evil, continues to lead the pack with over 170 million units sold. The latest installment, Resident Evil 4 Remake, contributed significantly, selling over 9 million copies just last year.
The Resident Evil series remains Capcom’s top-performing franchise, followed by the Monster Hunter series, which has reached a total of 120 million units sold. Notably, Monster Hunter Wilds has already surpassed 10 million units since its launch, putting it on track to potentially surpass Monster Hunter: World's record of 24 million copies sold.
According to the earnings report, Resident Evil 2 remains the standout entry, with cumulative sales of 15.7 million units since its release. It’s followed by Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, with 14.7 million, and then Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil 4, with 9.9 million each. These figures also reflect how digital storefront discounts on Steam, the PlayStation Store, and the Xbox Store significantly boost sales of older titles.
While Capcom didn’t reveal any concrete plans for the future of the Resident Evil series in this report, it did emphasize a forward-looking strategy, with a slate of new and returning IPs aimed at consumers and investors. Among upcoming releases is Onimusha: Way of the Sword, set to launch next year, and potentially the next major expansion for Monster Hunter Wilds.
Details for Resident Evil 9 remain tightly under wraps. However, rumors and industry chatter suggest a possible shift in direction for the franchise. Some leakers even claim that fan-favorite characters like Leon S. Kennedy, Jill Valentine, and Chris Redfield may return.
This has been Capcom’s best-selling year to date, marking 12 consecutive years of growth. With powerhouse franchises like Devil May Cry, Street Fighter, Dragon’s Dogma, and Monster Hunter, the company is projecting first-quarter sales of 8 million units for the next fiscal year, and it doesn’t look like they’re slowing down anytime soon.
