Capcom announced today (April 25) that it has decided to raise its revenue forecast for fiscal year 2023 to 2024 due to the good performance of games such as the recent "Dragon Dogma 2". Capcom's sales forecast for the fiscal year was raised by 8.9% from 140 million yen to 152.4 million yen, and operating income was raised by 1.8% from 56 million yen to 57 million yen.
Capcom officially said that in addition to the global acclaim of "Street Fighter 6", the new "Dragon Creed 2" has also achieved good results after its launch in the fourth quarter of this fiscal year, and the sales growth of past works has also been achieved by stabilizing popularity, so the company has decided to raise its revenue forecast for this fiscal year.
In the face of the excellent performance of "Dragon Dogma 2", Capcom also released a new patch for the game on the same day, and the "Dragon Plague" dragon possession that caused players a headache was finally modified. After the update, Dragon's Dogma 2's followers will have a reduced chance of being infected, and the symptoms will be more pronounced and recognizable, such as eye color changes. Also fixed a bug where followers could not high-five properly and could not lead the way properly. Reduced the frequency of some followers' lines and increased the motivation of followers to help after the protagonist is caught using the "HELP" command. The most important thing is to reduce the frequency of self-recommendation by the field entourage who "looks at each other and talks to each other".
