Monster Hunter World Turns Out To Be Capcom’s Best Selling Title Ever
Recently Capcom Studio unveiled their financial statement
for the year 2018-2019, and interestingly enough the Monster Hunter World title
is at the top in terms of sales in comparison to all the other titles
published.
The reports further suggested that Monster Hunter World
title has already sold 12 million copies worldwide and the sales for the future
are still looking strong for the Monster Hunter title. It is quite a feat to
achieve for the Capcom studios as the Monster Hunter World title is still
maintaining strong sales and is expected even to surpass the current 12 million
mark.
Capcom said that as per the ongoing trend the sales for
Monster Hunter World is still standing strong and effectively the 12 million
units have already been sold for the title which is the highest recorded sales
for the entire history of Capcom.
Furthermore, the officials at Capcom stated the sales for
other titles developed by the Capcom studio which included Resident Evil 2 with
4 million copies shipped and Devil May Cry Five had surpassed 2 million shipped
copies. Still, the term shipped does not suggest that the title has been sold
to a customer; instead, it indicates sending a unit to retailer or seller. So
Monster Hunter World has indeed proven to be a massive success for the studio.
The stats as mentioned above have ended up in bring up the
sales total for Capcom to 18 million yen which is equivalent to the US $164
million which is about 14% increase in sales if compared to last year.
Moreover, Capcom studios also clarified their intentions to create a better
soothing environment for their employees to provide them with ample creative
freedom.
The Capcom institution also claimed that they are not
looking forward to creating exhausting crunching working hours as seen a
traditional culture in big brands like Rockstar Studios or Epic Games to name a
few. Instead, Capcom is more focused on easing the working conditions for its
staff and allowing creative influx in their developers.
Capcom has already introduced a number of new reforms
starting from the April 2019 which includes new laws related to working style
for providing its staff with some perks to better motivate and canalize the
creative vibes with synergy amongst each other.
Such measures include maintaining employees health by
granting paid leaves, organizing nine committee meetings every month for
ensuring security and health. Clearly, Capcom is trying to create a much more
soothing working environment so that their developers get enough resources to
develop much more exciting games for the future.
Let’s see how Capcom manages to sustain the latest
success and what new titles could the franchise bring for its fans to generate
even better financial results for this year.
