Below you can see the results for the whole company, which set a profit record for a second quarter of the fiscal year.

Net sales also marked a 12.8% improvement year-on-year.

Speaking of the Digital Content business, net sales for the quarter were 35,378 million yen (up 21.3% year-on-year) and operating income was 19,849 million yen (up 36.9% year-on-year).

We also read that Resident Evil 3 delivered “solid” sales. In the meanwhile catalog games (those released in previous quarters) including Monster Hunter World: Iceborne “drove up profits.”

“In this business segment, new title Resident Evil 3 (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC) was released in April 2020 and delivered solid sales. Meanwhile, high-margin catalog titles demonstrated their long product lives, including with the continued growth of Monster Hunter World: Iceborne (for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC), which was released in the previous fiscal year, all of which drove up profits.

In the Mobile Contents sub-segment, licensing revenue from the use of the Company’s major IP also contributed to profit.”

We also hear that Capcom’s head of eSports Business Division Nobuhiko Shimizu has resigned. No replacement has been announced for the moment.

Proud weeb hailing from sunny (not as much as people think) Italy and long-standing gamer since the age of Mattel Intellivision and Sinclair ZX Spectrum. Definitely a multi-platform gamer, he still holds the old dear PC nearest to his heart, while not disregarding any console on the market. RPGs (of any nationality), MMORPGs, and visual novels are his daily bread, but he enjoys almost every other genre, prominently racing simulators, action and sandbox games. He is also one of the few surviving fans on Earth of the flight simulator genre.
