It has been another very good year for Capcom. The company just released its financial results for the fiscal year ended March 2026<\/a>, continuing a streak of record profits<\/a> by completing its 11th consecutive year of operating profit growth over 10%. Those profits were driven by year-over-year increases in games sales\u2014particularly the breakaway success of Resident Evil Requiem.<\/p>\n

Aside from detailing the last year’s wins, Capcom’s financial report also lays out its growth strategies for the years ahead. Those grand plans, it says, aim not just to strengthen its “leading brands”\u2014like Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter\u2014but also to elevate its other series so they can deliver similar results. And it offered a glimpse of which franchises it might be focusing on next.<\/p>\n

In an inspiring display of investor-speak, Capcom calls its strategy “a flywheel-driven business model for continuous IP value expansion.” In human terms, that essentially means it seeks to develop and sell good games, so that those brands can enable secondary offerings like anime, licensed arcade games, and merchandise to further expand the company’s fanbase, so it can then develop and sell even more games.<\/p>\n

It’s not groundbreaking stuff, but based on the company’s sales figures, it’s clearly been paying off for the last decade: In a slide showing its series’ cumulative sales, Capcom says just its three best-selling brands\u2014Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, and Street Fighter\u2014have sold almost 400 million units to date.<\/p>\n

Unsurprisingly, Capcom’s keen on the idea of strengthening its other brands to deliver similar successes. In another slide titled “ongoing maximization of IP value,” the company illustrates which other game series it has in mind in its plans for “nurturing brands to be the next engine of growth.” Here are the Capcom series listed in the report as opportunities for “sequels, remakes, ports, etc.”:<\/p>\n
