Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2 left a gaping, $28 million hole in Paradox’s year-end financial report

Paradox Interactive's year-end financial report indicates a 23% increase in revenue compared to the same quarter last year, marking it as the company's "second-best quarter ever." However, operating profit decreased by 162%, resulting in an overall loss of 245.4 million Swedish kronor, primarily due to the poor performance of Vampire: The Masquerade – Bloodlines 2, which led to a write-down of 355 million kronor. Without this write-down, Paradox would have reported a profit of around 110 million kronor, though this would still be less than the previous year's operating profit of 395.3 million kronor. Additionally, fluctuating foreign exchange rates negatively impacted the company's financial results, with the dollar depreciating by approximately 12% and the euro by 5-6%.

Monster Hunter Wilds is barely hanging onto Capcom’s top 10 current best sellers and officially lost to Monster Hunter Rise, which notably didn’t wait months for PC fixes

Performance issues are affecting many players of Monster Hunter Wilds on PC, which is the game's largest sales platform. Capcom reported that Monster Hunter Rise has surpassed Wilds in sales rankings, with Wilds dropping from 10 million to under 500,000 copies sold in three months, now at 477,000 copies, while Rise has sold 389,000. Wilds has received negative reviews on Steam, currently holding a "Mostly Negative" label with 48% positive ratings. Capcom is working on CPU and GPU optimizations to address these performance issues. Despite Wilds having a larger active player base on Steam, the sales figures show a decline, and if optimizations do not improve the situation, Wilds may face further challenges. The lead producer of Monster Hunter acknowledges the growing engagement of PC gamers with Japanese games.
