units.
The Monster Hunter 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’s most beloved game series, it went on to global-brand status with the release of Monster
Hunter: World 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.

Further, in 2021 Capcom released Monster Hunter Rise, followed in 2022 by Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak, 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 have surpassed 15 million units while those for
Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak have exceeded 8 million units.
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, the latest title in the Monster Hunter series that is scheduled for release in 2025, increased interest
from game players and helped drive cumulative sales over 100 million units.
