For quite some time now, Capcom has been enjoying an almost unbroken string of victories, yet it appears they may have encountered a significant challenge with Monster Hunter Rise.
As a devoted fan, I must admit that while the action RPG set new sales records when it launched back in February, it’s been facing a tough time holding onto its commercial success. In fact, according to Capcom’s latest financial report, the game managed only 477,000 sales between April and June – a significant drop from the over 10 million copies sold at launch.
After labeling these sales as “soft”, the publisher is now experiencing a setback in a sensitive area: a noticeable drop in its share price. To clarify, Capcom continues to generate substantial profits overall, but doubts about Wilds’ performance have caused a substantial 9.45% decline in the company’s stock price in Japan (as reported by Automaton).
It seems likely that Capcom has accelerated its update schedule for Wilds, moving planned endgame content from September’s Title Update 3 to August’s patch 1.021 early. This suggests that the developer wants to re-engage players with the game and increase buzz among gamers.
Without a doubt, the main challenge for Wilds seems to be its reputation. Specifically, on PC platforms, the game is struggling due to suboptimal optimization, resulting in a deluge of unfavorable reviews on Steam.
Wilds struggles to overcome its poor standing, and Capcom is certainly aware that they need to work towards restoring its image in the future. It has quite a journey ahead if it aspires to reach the unprecedented achievements of Monster Hunter World someday.
Could we anticipate that Capcom will manage to make things better with Monster Hunter Wilds? Let’s stay tuned for potential enhancements in the comments area beneath.
