Pragmata defies my expectations by selling 2.5 million copies in just 3 months as Capcom celebrates a very successful start to 2026

Capcom's Q1 2026 financial report shows strong performance, with Pragmata selling over 2.5 million copies since its launch. The Resident Evil franchise remains popular, with Resident Evil Requiem achieving over 8 million copies sold, up from 6 million in March. Capcom reports a 54.7% year-on-year increase in net sales and a 66.9% rise in operating profits. This contrasts with last year's poor performance of Monster Hunter Wilds, which sold fewer copies than other titles. Capcom is positioned to meet its full-year earnings forecast.

Capcom wants to release a Resident Evil every year and sees remakes as the way to make it happen

Capcom producer Masachika Kawata expressed a desire for the Resident Evil franchise to become annual, acknowledging the challenges of yearly releases. He emphasized the importance of remakes in revitalizing classic titles and generating revenue for new projects. Capcom's strategy contrasts with other companies facing staffing cuts and delays. The pool of Resident Evil remakes may soon be limited, especially after the release of Code Veronica. There is discussion about remaking less celebrated entries like Resident Evil 0, 5, and 6, while less favorable titles such as Survivor or Dead Aim may be left untouched.
