Capcom Shares Dipped 13% Following Monster Hunter World Announcement
Capcom’s shares dropped from ¥2,823 to ¥2,461 recently, which is a drop of nearly 13%. This dip in shares was precipitated by a report that showed that sales of Monster Hunter World had been slowing down.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch initiated this decline by downgrading Capcom’s stock from neutral to under performing. They also lowered the share target price from ¥2,800 to ¥2,300, which was based on significant risk of sales decline over the coming months for the aforementioned game. The report says “Although cumulative sales volume is growing steadily, we get the impression the popularity of Monster Hunter is dying down sixth months after its release.”
This was to be expected, as video game sales can’t keep going at such an impressive rate for so long. Monster Hunter World had the pleasure of being Capcom’s fastest title to ship 6 million units, and then later became the company’s best ever selling title. It seems harsh to think that Capcom is in trouble when considering this is just one game, especially when the game ended up performing much better than expected.
Capcom also has some heavy hitters on the horizon that should do very well in the sales department, with the Resident Evil 2 remake and Devil May Cry 5 both set for a 2019 release. Resident Evil 2 is expected to launch in January of next year, whereas Devil May Cry 5 will launch sometime in spring of next year.

Diablo 4’s post-launch support will keep you playing for years, according to Blizzard. General manager Rod Fergusson confirmed two expansions and free content updates.
“As I sit here, we’re about to launch the main game; we’re finishing up season one; we’re working on season two; we’re working on expansion one; we’re kicking off expansion two,” he told PC Gamer on the Kinda Funny Xcast. These two DLCs may release sooner than expected. Fergusson says the live service model lets Blizzard release content faster than Diablo III.
With tens of hours of content in the base game, Diablo 4 is massive. This could be Destiny 2 or Genshin Impact, with seasons and DLC. That thought excites or frightens you. Leave a comment and check out our Diablo 4 guide for help with the PS5 and PS4 games.
RoboCop: Rogue City features agonizing one-liners and a darkly humorous picture of a future that demands justice. GameSpot posted a preview of the game.
While the gameplay doesn’t look particularly exciting, the visual intrigues us. RoboCop is the perfect video game protagonist, so we’ll keep an eye on this one.
September brings RoboCop: Rogue City to Old Detroit. How’s it going? Are you intrigued?
Phantom Blade Zero, the next PS5 action game, may have improved. The developers’ Q/A Discord server revealed that the game won’t include microtransactions.
Each weapon has its own move set and combos to learn. Unsurprisingly, FromSoftware’s addictive (and innovative) gameplay style is an influence, but the goal is to be approachable. We like Star Wars Jedi: Survivor’s Soulslike mechanics.
Phantom Blade Zero New Info: No Microtransactions, Souls-like Elements, Taking Advantage From Dualsense And More.
