This series is a hunting action game where you face off against giant monsters in the majestic nature. After creating a social phenomenon when it was developed for portable devices and establishing a firm position to the point where it was called a national game, Monster Hunter: World was released in 2018 and pushed the series into a global brand. This work has sold more than 1 million copies for 7 consecutive years since its release, exceeding 25 million copies in total, and continues to make great strides, still setting new records for the highest sales in our company's history (including Monster Hunter World: Iceborne Master Edition). .

In addition, we will roll out “Monster Hunter Rise” in 2021 and “Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak”, a huge paid expansion of the same work, in 2022, expanding the platform and promoting long-term global digital sales of both titles. I've been doing it. These two titles have sold approximately 2 million copies every year since their release, with cumulative sales of “Monster Hunter Rise'' reaching 15 million units and “Monster Hunter Rise: Sunbreak'' reaching 8 million units.

In addition to the release of these attractive new releases and a wide range of business development that goes beyond games, including videos, food and beverages, and goods, the series has been boosted by heightened user expectations following the announcement of the latest series, Monster Hunter Wilds, to be released in 2025. Cumulative sales exceeded 100 million copies.
