Capcom has started its fiscal year on a strong note. The Japanese publisher announced today that net income for its first quarter ended June 30 rose 290.2 percent from the previous year to ¥1.32 billion ($16.88 million). Net sales for the period jumped 55.8 percent to ¥18.62 billion ($238.2 million).
Capcom called out a number of properties as contributors to its bottom line, including Dragon’s Dogma, which the company reiterated has now shipped 1 million copies worldwide. Capcom said the game “struggled” abroad following its release in May, but “exceeded expectations” in the domestic market.
The publisher also said sales of this caliber have “set the stage” for Dragon’s Dogma to become a series. This follows news from last month, when Capcom said it plans to develop the original fantasy role-playing game into a major franchise. Additionally, game director Hideaki Itsuno said at the beginning of this month that a full sequel would be developed, provided the fan support is there.
Capcom also updated figures for Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City, saying the coldly received third-person shooter has now shipped 450,000 units across the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC.
Bethesda says information regarding PS3 and PC launch of first expansion to Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will arrive before the week is out.
The first expansion for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the vampire-themed Dawnguard, launched on June 26 for the Xbox 360. Now that Microsoft’s one-month exclusivity is up, when will the content come to the PlayStation 3 and PC? According to Bethesda, eager gamers will learn its arrival date by the end of the week.
The news comes from Bethesda’s vice president of PR and marketing Pete Hines, who said over Twitter this morning that “nothing has been said/announced about it. We should have info later this week.”
GameSpot’s review of the Dawguard content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim found the expansion to be an atmospheric and enjoyable return to the frigid lands of Skyrim. For more on the content, check out GameSpot’s review and walkthrough of Dawnguard.
