We already knew that Monster Hunter: World had become Capcom's best-selling game of all time, but the 2018 success story continues as the game has now reached a whopping 12 million units shipped worldwide.
Announced as part of the company's 2018/19 financial results, the statement reads: "Monster Hunter World continued to report strong sales, with total shipments breaking 12 million units, marking a record high for any single title in the company's history." It's an impressive number for a franchise that has only traditionally done well in Japan, but those aren't the only numbers worth making a fuss about.
The recent Resident Evil 2 remake has now shipped over 4 million copies, while Devil May Cry 5 is sitting at 2 million. It's not bad going at all for Capcom, who boast of an 18 billion yen pre-tax profit. That's an increase of 18% when compared to the previous financial report.
Are you happy that Monster Hunter: World has found so much success? Look forward to the Iceborne expansion in the comments below.

We need to take a minute to appreciate just how crazy 12 million copies is. That's undeniable blockbuster levels of success.
Amazing success. Great game too, I wish I had the time to get back into it.
I still remember people wanting this game to fail. Congrats Capcom, they have been on a role as of late. They still need to redeem themselves for all that mess with MVC Infinite though.
Capcom has been great lately and I love it
@shonenjump86 Nintendo fanboys wanted it to fail.this is the best monster Hunter game ever.glad it's doing amazing.word up son
now give me dragon dogma 2 capcom and you will be in the top 3 of best developers.word up son
It is a great game, so it's nice to see it doing so well.
Fantastic. Easily in my top 5 PS4 games.
I'm glad the game is so successful. I started playing around the time the collaboration quest with the Witcher III was introduced, and I haven't stopped since.
I mean, I play other games, days gone most recently, but most of my gaming time is now dedicated to Monster Hunter World, and I'm not tired of it yet.
First Monster Hunter game for me, and I love it.
Great to see it do well. This was my first entry to the series (I was aware of its existence before World) and it grabbed me for a good few months. Recently started playing again to prep for the expansion.
That's seriously impressive!
I'm just sad that I got a bit bored from the game (played until the big boss fight with cannons and stuff)!
Btw @get2sammyb how are you feeling about potentially seeing Liverpool winning Champions League?
This is amazing. I hope they put some of that skrilla to good use and give us a meaty expansion. It's easily one of my favorite games of the PS4, what an amazing game.
@playstation1995 @shonenjump86 the stupidity and hate from nintendo fanboys (Not fans) concerning this game was embarrassing. They still try to hate on MHW now even though it demolished the XX port the Switch got in sales and reviews. MHW is the best game in the series. It's success is well deserved.
@playstation1995 I know a few people would say it would fail on the site i love it. 😃 👍
Played it for 700 hours. 😁
Live service game done right.
Capcom is back and that's great news for gamers. Hopefully the momentum continues when it comes time for RE 8 and Street Fighter 6.
@Flaming_Kaiser haha on this site.wow who was it that say it was going to fail.thats the best monster Hunter game ever.word up son
@NintenGuy well say .and the fanboy wanted monster Hunter to fail because it's not a Nintendo exclusive anymore.haha.word up son
