The popularity of the Monster Hunter game series was very great in Japan, and over time, the popularity of this series began to increase outside Japan, especially with the game Monster Hunter World, which is the best-selling release in Capcom’s history.
Now, the total sales of the series have reached more than 97 million copies sold, based on updated numbers from Capcom’s latest financial reports, an increase of 2 million copies over the last fiscal quarter. This means that the series may break the 100 million copies barrier within a fiscal quarter or two. Work is currently underway on the release. The next main installment in the series will be titled Monster Hunter: Wilds.
