Capcom raises profit forecast as Resident Evil Requiem beats expectations

Matthew Wilson April 28, 2026 Software & Gaming

Resident Evil Requiem is due to get its first piece of DLC very soon. The new content will land at a perfect time, as Capcom just raised its profit forecast thanks to continued strong sales of the game.

In a newly-released financial statement, Capcom said that Resident Evil Requiem's 7-million sales milestone has pushed its financials up for the year, with the company now set to “outperform the previously announced forecast”.

This would mean that Resident Evil Requiem has beaten Capcom's predictions. The company now expects to earn around $320 million in net profit, a near 7% increase from its previous forecast.

Resident Evil Requiem wasn't the only money maker here though. Capcom also noted favourable performance for its Arcade business, amusement equipment business and other areas of operation.

KitGuru Says: If Dragon's Dogma 2 also gets a big ‘Arisen' style upgrade this year, then Capcom will have a spectacularly strong 2026.

KitGuru Games: Predicting the Next Half a Decade of Call of Duty Releases

Benjamin Franklin (1706-1790) famously once said: “The three absolutes in life are death, taxes and a new Call of Duty coming out every single year”. Sure enough, the US founding father has yet to be proven wrong, with Activision and a dozen studios having ensured that come the tail-end of any given year, there will be a new COD ready to release. And so, what can we expect from the franchise later this year? What about 2027, 2028 or even 2030? By looking back at the past two decades of Call of Duty games, their trends, progression and regression, I believe I can predict the next 5 years worth of annual COD entries.
