Capcom revealed its financial results for the second fiscal quarter of 2026, confirming that Onimusha: Way of the Sword exceeded 1.78 million copies sold since its launch. Furthermore, modern catalog hits such as Resident Evil 4 and Devil May Cry 5 continue to maintain historic commercial momentum across the Japanese company.
The long-awaited return of the samurai franchise demonstrated solid commercial strength following its arrival on September 4. According to the official investor presentation, the game reached 1.78 million units sold in its opening weeks, serving as one of the primary revenue drivers for the publisher's digital contents division during the first half of the fiscal year.
Alongside sales milestones, the corporate filing highlighted that the title achieved a Metascore of 85 on PlayStation 5 and secured two honors at the Gamescom awards 2026, solidifying positive critical acclaim. The successful debut supported substantial year-over-year revenue and operating profit growth across the digital business segment compared to the previous fiscal year.
Historic Performance from Legacy Catalog
In tandem with new releases, the Japanese company reiterated the lasting appeal of its premier gaming franchises worldwide. Resident Evil 4, originally released in March 2023, reached a cumulative lifetime total of 17.15 million units shipped, driven by 3.54 million copies sold throughout this half-year stretch alone thanks to ongoing promotions and word-of-mouth momentum.
Meanwhile, Devil May Cry 5 continues closing in on major benchmarks, climbing to 14.78 million lifetime sales globally after moving 1.83 million copies across the six-month period. Within the same horror stable, the acclaimed 2019 reimagining of Resident Evil 2 surpassed 20.38 million units sold worldwide, cementing its position among the best-selling standalone titles in corporate history.
Record-Breaking Digital Sales Period
On a consolidated level, the company achieved its highest-ever total and catalog unit volume for a first-half period, moving 36.86 million software units between April and September 2026. Digital downloads represented 87.3 percent of that total, propelled heavily by PC and console digital storefronts. International markets outside Japan generated more than 92 percent of software demand.
The presentation also detailed performance for other recent additions, such as PRAGMATA, which posted 2.73 million units sold since launching in April 2026 alongside a Metascore of 85. Concurrently, established releases such as Resident Evil Requiem accumulated 8.51 million lifetime copies. Supported by this steady commercial demand for both new and legacy releases, corporate management maintained its full-year earnings forecast leading into March 2027.
