Capcom is planning to release a “major” unannounced title by the end of its current fiscal year, which ends in March 2024, it’s said.
That’s according to aJapanese Q&A sectionpublished alongside its latest earnings results this week, in which it mentions the unannounced title in relation to how it intends to reach its year-end sales targets.
Considering its aspirations for the unannounced game, it’s possible that it’s related to one ofCapcom’s two biggest franchises,Resident Evilor Monster Hunter.
It’s also possible, since there are few major industry events left before March 2024, that the game could be announced duringThe Game Awardsin December.
Capcom has said it’s on track to achieve11 consecutive years of operating income growthfollowing a strong first half of its fiscal year.
The company’s best-selling game during the first six-month period wasStreet Fighter 6, which has now surpassed 2.47 million units since its release at the start of June.
TheResident Evil 4remake sold a further 1.66 million copies during the first half of the fiscal year, taking its lifetime total to 5.45 million following its release in March. Capcom’s top-selling franchise of all time has now surpassed 150 million sales.
