Now Playing: Resident Evil Village Video Review
Moving towards the current fiscal year that will end on March 31, 2022, Capcom anticipates that games such as the recently released Resident Evil Village–which has already seen incredible numbers of consecutive players on PC alone–and Monster Hunter: Rise will allow it to achieve nine consecutive years of operating income growth and five consecutive years of record-high profit at all levels.
The year ahead looks positive for the company, which will still see the release of Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin on the Switch on July 9 and The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles in summer. Overall, the gaming industry has had a noteworthy year thanks to the perfect storm of a worldwide pandemic and people seeking new forms of entertainment while staying inside.
Nintendo also recorded huge profits for its 2020 fiscal year, with total revenue coming in at $16.59 billion, up 34.4%, while operating profit was $6.04 billion, an increase of 81.8%. This week will see a number of other financial updates from the biggest names in the gaming industry, as Ubisoft, EA, Square Enix, and Sega will all post their latest earnings reports.
