Record-breaking title passes first anniversary
Developer/publisher Capcomhas released its latest quarterly reportfor the financial year ending March 2019. Among its glut of successful releases is epic adventure titleMonster Hunter: World, which shipped some 11 million copies within its first full year of release.
Launching on PS4 and Xbox One in January of last year,Monster Hunter: Worldsoldfive million copiesin its first few days of release, going on to become the best-selling Capcom game of all time.A delayed PC release in August 2018only served to further its incredible success.
Having gone on to shift a further million copies since Summer 2018, sales have started to slow down somewhat, as any title is wont to do. Regardless,Monster Hunter: Worldhas been the driving force behind Capcom’s profitability in the last 12 months, a boost that was sorely needed after the terrible audience reception toMarvel Vs Capcom Infinite,which was entirely expected by the publisher to be their golden boy going forward.
Monster Hunter: Worldis available now on PS4, PC and Xbox One.
