For video game publishers, it’s time to take stock for the second quarter of the fiscal year, from April to September 2021, and some more than others are doing better. This is indeed the case for Capcom, which continues to ride a positive trend, with explosive figures. We already knew that Resident Evil VII had crossed the symbolic threshold of 10 million copies, we now learn that Resident Evil Village has already sold 5 million copies when it was released last May. Proof of the public’s appetite for this franchise which has succeeded in reinventing itself, even if it means disappointing the most hardcore fans who do not like change. Overall, everything is rolling for Capcom at the moment, since the publisher records a net profit up 71%, while there are still 6 months before closing the accounts. They can benefit from it indeed.
