Capcom's Stock Decline Following Disappointing Financial Results for Monster Hunter Wilds
Capcom's latest financial report reveals a sharp drop in sales for Monster Hunter Wilds, causing a significant decline in its stock value.
Capcom recently released its first quarterly financial report for 2025, and the results are troubling for their latest title, Monster Hunter Wilds. After a successful launch that saw over 10 million copies sold, the game has only managed to sell 477,000 copies in the most recent quarter.

Despite an overall increase in revenue and profits for the company, the drastic sales drop for Wilds, now ranked as Capcom’s ninth best-selling title, has raised alarms, especially given that older titles like Devil May Cry 5 and Resident Evil Village continue to outperform it.
The game’s reception among players has deteriorated significantly, now reflecting a persistent Overwhelmingly Negative rating on Steam. Many complaints focus on its poor performance, an issue that previous patches have failed to address satisfactorily. In response to growing player dissatisfaction, Capcom has introduced new content updates, but consumer confidence appears shaken.
While Capcom’s shares fell nearly 10% immediately following the report’s release, the company still reports a 27% increase in share value over the past year and a 91% rise in operating profits compared to previous reports. However, these financial details do little to improve the ongoing troubles of Monster Hunter Wilds, which continues to frustrate many of its dedicated players.
