Resident Evil Requiem Pre-Orders Higher Than Expected, As Capcom Stock Price Surges

by

While Monster Hunter Wilds didn’t immediately boost Capcom’s profits as much as investors hoped, the company is still doing well. Bloomberg reports that Capcom’s stock price jumped 12 percent—the largest single-day increase on a Wednesday in over a year and a half.

Although games like Street Fighter 6 did well, the Resident Evil series was particularly successful last month. Plus, pre-orders for the upcoming game, Resident Evil Requiem, are higher than Capcom expected.

Okay, so Capcom was originally predicting around ¥73 billion in profit and ¥190 billion in sales for this fiscal year, ending in March. But according to analyst Hideki Yasuda at Toyo Securities, they’re probably going to blow those numbers away! I mean, they already sold a crazy 34.64 million games between April and December 2025 – that’s a 13.5% jump from last year! Things are looking really good for them.

The upcoming game, Resident Evil Requiem, quickly gained attention after its initial trailer surpassed one million wishlists. The developers and marketing team have continued to build excitement, particularly after announcing Leon S. Kennedy as a second playable character.

The new game, Resident Evil Requiem, comes out on February 27th for Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. You can find all the details and learn how Capcom built the game’s environments using what they learned from Resident Evil 7: biohazard and Resident Evil Village at these links.
