Capcom has accelerated the release of the final expansion for its game Monster Hunter Wilds following disappointing sales performance. Despite selling over 10 million copies in its first month, the game sold only 477,000 units between April and June, a sharp decline that contributed to a significant drop in Capcom's share price in Japan. The publisher's financial report revealed that Monster Hunter Wilds sales were weaker than expected last quarter, with Devil May Cry 5 outselling it during the same period. In response to the underwhelming sales, Capcom is rushing out new content, including the challenging 'Lord of the Sea' expansion, in an effort to boost engagement and address investor concerns.
