In the 2026 calendar year, the developer launched three Game of the Year contenders in <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/resident-evil-requiem\">Resident Evil Requiem<\/a>, the new but ambitious <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/pragmata\">Pragmata<\/a>, and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/onimusha-way-of-the-sword\">Onimusha: Way of the Sword<\/a>, all of which were met with critical acclaim.<\/p>\n<p>These recent titles aren\u2019t responsible for making up the bulk of its profits for its current fiscal year, though. Instead, older titles like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/monster-hunter-world\">Monster Hunter World<\/a> (a live-service game that released in 2018), <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/resident-evil-2\">Resident Evil 2 Remake<\/a> (2019), and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ign.com\/games\/resident-evil-7-biohazard\">Resident Evil 7: BioHazard<\/a> (2017) took the top three spots in its top ten best-selling titles for the first half of its 2027 fiscal year. <\/p>\n<section data-transform=\"slideshow\" data-slug=\"resident-evil-requiem-performance-screenshots\" data-value=\"resident-evil-requiem-performance-screenshots\" data-type=\"slug\" data-caption=\"\">\n<p>Given their popularity and prestige, it\u2019s not a massive surprise that these three titles continue to do gangbusters for Capcom almost a decade after their release.
