Capcom Platinum Titles Update: Wilds 11.8M, Requiem 8M, PRAGMATA Debuts

Monster Hunter Wilds has crossed 11.8 million units sold, Resident Evil Requiem hit 8 million in its first reported quarter, and Capcom’s brand-new IP PRAGMATA debuted at 2.5 million on the publisher’s platinum titles list — all according to sales data from Capcom’s Q1 FY3/2027 financial results, covering the three months ended 30 June 2026.

Those results also showed net sales of 70.4 billion yen (up 54.7% year on year) and operating profit of 41.1 billion yen (up 66.9% YoY) — the best Q1 in Capcom’s history. The company credited “all-new IP PRAGMATA” and continued strength in catalogue titles as the twin engines of that growth.

Released on 17 April 2026 for PS5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, and 24 April on Nintendo Switch 2, PRAGMATA is Capcom’s first major all-original IP in years — a sci-fi action-adventure following spacesuit-clad protagonist Hugh and android companion Diana through a moon base overtaken by rogue AI. The game sold 1 million units in its first 48 hours, 2 million within 16 days, and cleared 2.5 million by end of June, earning it immediate entry on the platinum list.

Critics gave it strong marks: an 87% average on OpenCritic, with the Switch 2 version scoring 93% from early reviewers. On Steam, 97% of nearly 15,000 user reviews are positive. Singapore players on PS5, PC and Switch 2 can still pick it up at major game retailers and electronics chains locally, or digitally via PlayStation Store, Steam and Nintendo eShop.

Resident Evil Requiem launched in February 2026 and has already clocked 8 million units through to the end of June — the strongest opening quarter of any mainline entry in the series’ 30-year history. On Steam, the game peaked at 344,000 concurrent players at launch (the highest concurrent count ever for any Resident Evil title) and holds an “Overwhelmingly Positive” rating from nearly 48,000 reviews. The game stars FBI analyst Grace Ashcroft alongside series veteran Leon S. Kennedy and is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and Switch 2. For Singapore survival-horror fans who have not yet played it, the digital and physical versions are widely available locally.

Monster Hunter: World remains Capcom’s all-time bestseller at 22.4 million units (30.4 million combined with Iceborne expansion). Monster Hunter Wilds — the February 2025 follow-up that stormed onto every platform including Switch 2 — added 400,000 units this quarter for a lifetime total of 11.8 million, steady momentum even 18 months post-launch. Monster Hunter Rise sits at 19.3 million, with the Sunbreak expansion at 11.9 million. Singapore has historically been a strong Monster Hunter market, with local hunts and community sessions common at gaming cafes and college campuses.

The Remake Surge: RE4 +2.4M in One Quarter

The Resident Evil remakes posted their biggest single-quarter growth in years. Resident Evil 4 Remake surged by 2.4 million to reach 16.0 million lifetime — the sharpest jump among all platinum titles this period, boosted partly by a steep platform sale that temporarily dropped the price to around US$10 and brought in a fresh wave of buyers. Singapore fans who have been holding off on the RE4 Remake might want to watch their preferred storefront for the next discount window.

Resident Evil 2 Remake climbed 1.4 million to 19.7 million, while Resident Evil 3 Remake gained 1.2 million to hit 14.5 million. Devil May Cry 5 added 1.1 million for a lifetime total of 12.3 million, and Street Fighter 6 grew by 500,000 to 7.2 million. Capcom’s full updated platinum titles list is on the company’s official investor-relations page.

Resident Evil: Veronica — Code Veronica Remake Confirmed

After 26 years of fan requests, Capcom has finally made the Resident Evil Veronica remake official. Revealed at Summer Game Fest 2026 on 5 June, Resident Evil: Veronica is a ground-up rebuild of the 2000 survival horror classic — and it is heading to PS5, Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series X/S and PC in 2027.

What Is Resident Evil: Veronica?

Back in 2000, Resident Evil — Code: Veronica launched on the Sega Dreamcast as the first mainline RE game to render its environments in real-time 3D. It followed Claire Redfield as she infiltrates an Umbrella island facility — Rockfort Island — in a desperate search for her brother Chris. The story brought back fan-favourite villain Albert Wesker and introduced the terrifying T-Veronica virus, delivering some of the darkest moments in the entire series.

While Capcom has remade RE2 (2019), RE3 (2020) and RE4 (2023) to great critical acclaim, Code Veronica remained the obvious gap — beloved by long-time fans but never brought to modern hardware with a full makeover. That gap closes in 2027.

The remake drops the “Code” from the name, arriving simply as Resident Evil: Veronica — a naming pattern that mirrors how the series has handled its recent remakes.

Survival Horror, Rebuilt from the Ground Up

Capcom has made clear that this will not be a tank-controls nostalgia trip. The remake features modernised controls consistent with the recent RE Engine entries, bringing the original’s fixed-camera corridors into the fluid, over-the-shoulder era. Early details point to a tone that leans firmly into horror — so expect more dread and fewer set-piece moments than, say, RE4 Remake.

Claire and Chris Redfield return as the playable characters, with Wesker once again pulling strings as the central antagonist. The reveal trailer showed a brief glimpse of Rockfort Island’s gothic castle sections alongside the Antarctic Umbrella compound — both recognisable to veterans of the original, now rendered in detail that would have been unthinkable on Dreamcast.

Platforms and What Singapore Gamers Need to Know

Resident Evil: Veronica is confirmed for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X/S, Nintendo Switch 2 and PC, launching sometime in 2027. No specific release date has been announced yet, and Singapore retail pricing is to be confirmed.

The Switch 2 inclusion is particularly welcome for local fans — Singapore’s Nintendo community has grown significantly since the Switch 2 launch, and having a flagship survival horror title on the platform means more players can join in without needing multiple consoles. You can already wishlist the game on Steam for PC.

There is no word yet on a Singapore-exclusive collector’s edition or local launch event, but given how Capcom handled the RE4 Remake launch in the region, expect local retailers to announce pre-order bundles once a firm date is set. Keep an eye on GameXtreme, GameMartz and major platform digital stores for updates.

The Remake Everyone Was Waiting For

Singapore RE fans have been patient. RE2 Remake blew expectations in 2019, RE3 Remake landed in 2020, RE4 Remake raised the bar again in 2023 — and each time, the question on local forums was: “So when is Code Veronica getting its turn?” Capcom’s answer, it turns out, was Summer Game Fest 2026.

With the full remake trilogy of PS1-era classics now wrapped up and Code Veronica finally in production, Capcom appears to be building toward a complete modern RE canon. Whether Veronica will carry the same critical heat as its predecessors remains to be seen, but the pedigree — and the demand — is certainly there. For more game news as details emerge, stay tuned to GameTrader.SG.

Last Words

Resident Evil: Veronica is real, it is coming in 2027, and it is on every major platform including Nintendo Switch 2. For Singapore fans who have been replaying the HD remaster on PS3 and wondering if Capcom would ever get around to a proper rebuild — your wait is almost over. Wishlist it on Steam now, and we will bring you local pricing and pre-order news the moment Capcom drops it.
