But the good news doesn’t stop there for the action-RPG series. Capcom also announced that the series as a whole has soared past 100 million copies sold – a massive number, matching the behemoth Resident Evil series’ numbers from 2020. It’s clear that Monster Hunter is a key franchise for the publisher – and that’s a good thing, since we’re about to see even more Monster Hunter content launch in the year ahead.
Only back in January, Capcom revealed that Monster Hunter World – the first ambitious open world entry in Capcom’s legendary action series – surpassed 23 million units sold, accounting for nearly a quarter of the overall figure shared this week.
So, what’s next for the massive monster-hunting series? Well, there’s a few things in the works. First off, if you’re a regular on this site, you’ll know that I’m obsessesed with Monster Hunter Now, and continue to extol the virtues of the Pokemon Go-like game. The game continues to see regular events and updates, and only recently, loyal players got a series of ice-themed tasks to complete leading up to a Zinogre-based takeover that’s coming to the map soon. If you’re keen on checking the game out, I recommend perusing our Monster Hunter Now codes page to help you get a boost when you start playing.
