Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that worldwide cumulative sales of the Monster Hunter<\/em> series surpassed 100 million *1<\/sup> units.<\/p>\n\n

The Monster Hunter<\/em> series consists of hunting action games that pit players against giant monsters in beautiful natural environments. After the series created a social phenomenon through play on handheld consoles and solidified its standing as one of Japan\u2019s most beloved game series, it went on to global-brand status with the release of Monster Hunter: World<\/em> in 2018. This title has consecutively sold over 1 million units each year in the seven years since its release, with sales now totaling over 25 million units worldwide, as it continues to set new Capcom record-highs.*2<\/sup><\/p>\n\n

Further, in 2021 Capcom released Monster Hunter Rise<\/em>, followed in 2022 by Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak<\/em>, a massive premium expansion for the base game. Capcom has been promoting wider platform support and long-term worldwide digital sales for these titles, leading both to sell over approximately 2 million units annually since each was released. As a result, cumulative sales of Monster Hunter Rise<\/em> have surpassed 15 million units while those for Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak<\/em> have exceeded 8 million units.<\/p>\n\n

In addition to exciting new-title releases such as those above, as well as wide-ranging business development activities that reach beyond games—including movies, food, and merchandise—the announcement of Monster Hunter Wilds<\/em>, the latest title in the Monster Hunter<\/em> series that is scheduled for release in 2025, increased interest from game players and helped drive cumulative sales over 100 million units.*1<\/sup><\/p>\n\n
