Following the announcement of its super-positive monetary outcomes, Capcom hosted a Q&A session for buyers and analysts, teasing an enormous unannounced recreation.
Based on the transcript offered by Capcom and translated from Japanese by TechRaptor, the Osaka-based writer has an ace up its sleeve.
The corporate has offered, within the first half of the fiscal yr, 22.6 million models of its video video games, however that is solely half of its annual goal of 45 million models.

Requested how the corporate plans to attain its goal, the corporate’s executives answered that they are going to launch Apollo Justice: Ace Lawyer Trilogy alongside a significant unannounced recreation within the second half of the fiscal yr.
Additionally they plan to maintain increasing gross sales of the video games launched within the first half of the fiscal yr, like Road Fighter 6.
The unannounced recreation was truly teased in two separate solutions. It is price mentioning that Japanese does not make a transparent distinction between plural and singular, so this might be about a number of new video games, albeit the context makes me lean towards one.
There’s additionally a risk that they are speaking about Dragon’s Dogma 2 (about which you’ll be able to learn our preview and interview with the builders from Tokyo Sport Present). Often, in Japanese company environments, video games that do not have an introduced launch date an outlined merely as “unannounced,” nevertheless it’s pretty uncommon.
Alternatively, Capcom has been eager, as of late, to launch main video games solely months after their announcement, so getting an enormous reveal probably at The Sport Awards adopted by a launch by March 31, 2024 (which is when the fiscal yr ends) is fully inside the realm of realism.
Apparently, Capcom has already introduced a Monster Hunter collaboration for season 3 of Exoprimal, which is going on conveniently within the first quarter of 2024. The truth that they didn’t point out Monster Hunter Rise, however a generic title, prompted some to take a position {that a} new recreation of the sequence is coming quickly.
It is also price mentioning that on March 11, 2024, the sequence will have a good time its twentieth anniversary. That being stated, the executives had been requested explicitly within the Q&A a few new recreation to have a good time the anniversary they usually declined to supply any reply.
Throughout the identical Q&A, Capcom talked about that the PC market continues to develop and the ratio of PC gross sales amongst its clients continues to rise.
Talking of Exoprimal, we additionally be taught that its inclusion in Microsoft’s Sport Move was the principle issue for a big year-on-year spike in licensing income (from 2.2 billion yen to three.7 billion for the primary half of the fiscal yr).
