Capcom has recorded its ninth consecutive rise in profits, which is good news for Resident Evil fans but not for anyone that wanted to see a Dino Crisis remake. They have been around for 46 years and have had many good runs, but few would deny that Capcom is currently experiencing a modern golden age.
Upcoming Titles and Financial Highlights
This year alone has seen the excellent Resident Evil Requiem and Pragmata, with the equally promising Onimusha: Way Of The Sword still to come. Little is known about their plans beyond that, but in their latest highly profitable financial results, they discuss leading brands suitable for sequels, remakes, ports, and more. The same graphic also mentions new IP like Pragmata but pictures Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Ōkami, Dragon's Dogma, Ace Attorney, and Onimusha.
Franchise Updates and Rumors
It is uncertain how much care was put into highlighting those games, but some already have new entries announced or have been frequently rumoured. Notably, despite being a fan favourite, Capcom still did not bother to list Dino Crisis among the titles. The Mega Man image is for the already announced Dual Override, while recent rumours have suggested that Devil May Cry 1 is getting a modern remaster or remake. Although it has been seven years since Devil May Cry 5, it is baffling as to why there has not been a direct sequel yet, especially as there is a popular Netflix tie-in series at the moment.
A new Dead Rising has also been rumoured, as has DLC for Dragon's Dogma 2. Nothing substantial has been shown yet, but Ōkami is definitely getting a sequel, while Ace Attorney is the only franchise to have no hint of a new entry from either Capcom or the online rumourmill.
Core IPs and Digital Sales
Capcom singled out Ace Attorney, Devil May Cry, and Mega Man as core IPs in a similar financial report last year, which could mean they are confident about new entries being far enough into development to already hint at. Elsewhere in the report, Capcom reveals that 93% of its game sales are digital, with that figure expected to rise to 95.4% by the end of March. That is above the industry average, with Sony stating their digital sales were 75% in May 2025, but makes it clear why physical releases for all publishers are becoming less frequent.
AI and Other News
Other disquieting news in the report regards Capcom's attitude to generative AI, with the company providing several rather asinine examples of how it can help with research and error checks – despite AI's reliability being one of its most notable failings. Capcom also seem to imply they use, or are planning to use, AI generated graphics in games to create things like fake TV shows, food boxes, posters, and other background details. There are a lot of fake movie posters in Pragmata, but it is not clear if they are AI generated or not.
Although it is worth pointing out that, as described with Sony's recent comments on AI, game companies are in a tricky position where investors want them to use the technology as much as possible, despite the publishers knowing it is unpopular. So they may be exaggerating their use of AI in both directions, depending on who they are talking to.
Sales Results
In terms of straightforward sales results, Resident Evil Requiem is already at 6.91 million, with Devil May Cry 5 being the best-selling non-Resident Evil game of the last three months, with a lifetime total of 12.94 million sales. Which only makes the lack of a sequel seem even more peculiar.
