That’s according to a Japanese Q&A section published alongside its latest earnings results this week, in which it mentions the unannounced title in relation to how it intends to reach its year-end sales targets.

Considering its aspirations for the unannounced game, it’s possible that it’s related to one of Capcom’s two biggest franchises, Resident Evil or Monster Hunter.

It’s also possible, since there are few major industry events left before March 2024, that the game could be announced during The Game Awards in December.

Capcom has said it’s on track to achieve 11 consecutive years of operating income growth following a strong first half of its fiscal year.

The company’s best-selling game during the first six-month period was Street Fighter 6, which has now surpassed 2.47 million units since its release at the start of June.

The Resident Evil 4 remake sold a further 1.66 million copies during the first half of the fiscal year, taking its lifetime total to 5.45 million following its release in March. Capcom’s top-selling franchise of all time has now surpassed 150 million sales.

The publisher launched a new IP, Exoprimal, in mid-July for PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles. The game, which was available for Game Pass on console and PC at launch, sold fewer than 940,000 copies by the end of September.

Capcom says it has a ‘major unannounced title’ planned before March ’24 | VGC

The unknown game will release during its current fiscal year…

I can’t see it being anything other than a multi platform Monster Hunter game. I can’t believe it will have been about 6 years since World. Probably my most played non MMO.

 

[SHA]

4Remake is different than it's prequels, I'm not a fan of 4,5 and 6.

 

[POKEYCLYDE]

My bet is on Monster Hunter, my hope is on Megaman Legends 3.

 

[MGHA]

Dino Crisis Remake obviously.

 

[NeoIkaruGAF]

Dino Crisis Remake obviously.

Came to post this.

 

[MAtgS]

Mega Man Legends 3.

 

[Vyse]

I’m going code Veronica. Haven’t played since the Dreamcast, but seems the logical next choice.

 

[TikiLagoonSam]

Let’s cut the BS speculation guys. It can only be 1 game if we are talking “major” release that’ll bring the big money to Capcom. Let’s go boys

Q: How do you plan to achieve the sales goal for new titles for this financial year?

A: In the second half of this FY, we plan to release Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy in January in addition to a currently unannounced major title. Moreover, we plan to boost the sales figures of new titles of the first half of this FY to achieve the target.

Q: How do you think of the sales goal of 45 million copies of console titles? Taking into account the first half of this FY, wouldn't it be difficult to achieve it?

A: We are planning a major title in the second half of this FY. Additionally, we originally planned to achieve the goal mainly by focusing on sale events in the second half of this FY to boost the sales figures of our catalogue titles.

It says they were originally planning to achieve their sales goal with boosting the figures for old titles, there's no way this a new MonHun.
Mega Man Match seems like a good bet.

 

[ManaByte]

Hoping for a RE5 remake just for the Kotaku and Era meltdowns.

 

[intbal]

Auto Modellista 2

 

[Dice]

GOD HAND 2

 

[just_jr]

oh I wish it was marvel vs capcom but I know this dream is dead

 

[NeverYouMind]

It might be that new artsy action IP they showed off earlier in the year.

 

[Thabass]

OKAMI 2. PLEASE.
or a new Power Stone. I'll take that too.

 

[Robb]

Monster Hunter seems like a safe bet to me.

 

[MikeM]

I really want Pragmata Capcom.

unannounced title

 

[peronmls]

Definitely not a new IP. Either another remake or another iteration of an existing.

 

[Insane Metal]

Dino fucking Crisys

 

[Stafford]

We heard this earlier this year and now we see it again, so I guess the plan still stands. I cannot think of anything else other than MH. It certainly doesn't seem anything RE is on the horizon anytime soon, DMC I doubt too. So I guess a TGA is very plausible.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Dino Crisis Remake obviously.

 

[Papa_Wisdom]

Hope it’s Dino crisis, resi evil 0, 1 or cv remake.

 

[Katajx]

I really want Pragmata Capcom.

I can’t believe I forgot about this already. I guess I tossed it away somewhere next to Deep Down

 

[Fake]

Marvel vs Capcom 2 or GTFO

 

[kvltus lvlzvs]

Mml3

 

[kiphalfton]

Hoping for a RE5 remake just for the Kotaku and Era meltdowns.

Only reason I'd want a RE5 remake, is to remove Sheva as a playa le character (and only cross paths every once in awhile) and make it a single player experience like it originally was supposed to be.

 

[Three]

I can’t see it being anything other than a multi platform Monster Hunter game. I can’t believe it will have been about 6 years since World. Probably my most played non MMO.

Multiplatform might not be true but I agree it's likely MH.

 

[Shut0wen]

Its MHW2

 

[Deerock71]

Sorry to disappoint y'all, but it's going to be Monster Hunter World Definitive Edition for Switch.

 

[Perrott]

Deep Down

 

[Danjin44]

New Ace Attorney game? (apparently I'm the only one care about this series)

 

[Rob_27]

Boredom

 

[Kyo]

Gotta be Street Fighter The Movie HD Remix.

 

[Beer Baelly]

Please, let the franchises die, for your sake......



And for mine....

 

[SALMORE]

It's Onimusha ! already got leaked in the Infamous capcom hack + the Netflix series will premiere soon

[Arsic]

Major ? And within a few months ?

Another capcom collection of old titles then.

 

[Woopah]

The only place I can see this being announced is the Game Awards (and then released in March).

Could be Monster Hunter, or that rumoured Switch RE.

 

[Nickolaidas]

I don't know what it is, but I know what it isn't.

It isn't Resident Evil 5.

It isn't Resident Evil 1.

It isn't Dino Crisis.

 

[Hudo]

Mega Man Legends 3 for sure!

 

[Soodanim]

So good that it had to be posted twice!

 

[Luc2010]

Exoprimal and then the Trex engine. Dinocrisis?

 

[Beechos]

Deep down finally!

 

[nush]

less than 5 months to promote an build up hype and it's major? It's a collection or a " Turbo" version of a Capcom game franchise.

 

[Nickolaidas]

Exoprimal and then the Trex engine. Dinocrisis?

I've been told by a reliable source which I shan't name that Dino Crisis is still, for all intents and purposes, dead.

Cry with me.

 

[DaGwaphics]

Only reason I'd want a RE5 remake, is to remove Sheva as a playa le character (and only cross paths every once in awhile) and make it a single player experience like it originally was supposed to be.

Why? Played this one with local coop and it was great fun. That sunlight mirror puzzle especially was good for some laughs. Can't see why the game really needs a remake though, it holds up ok in the graphics department, IMO.

And for mine....

The franchises that run out of fun and new ideas naturally die. But the ones that died pre-maturely due to outside circumstances like the death of a console, or bad marketing, deserve a revival. For your sake…and for mine.
