Capcom Monster Hunter numbers — Wilds doubled franchise expectations

Monster Hunter Wilds shipped 18M units in the launch window, doubling Capcom internal forecast. The Western audience expansion is finally permanent.

Monster Hunter Wilds shipped 18M units sell-through in the launch window, doubling Capcom internal forecast and well ahead of sell-side consensus at 12M. The structural story is the Western audience expansion — North America and Europe combined accounted for 56% of unit sales, the highest non-Japan share for any Monster Hunter title ever.

Capcom raised full-year guidance on the back of the Wilds outperformance. The next test is post-launch DLC attach rate and the title role-out cadence — World had 10M+ DLC attach by year three, which is the comp Capcom is gunning for.
