Kunitsu-Gami Path of the Goddess

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Capcom’s newest IP launched last July for consoles and PC, has under-performed in sales. The publisher revealed to shareholders in a Q&A session per GameBiz (translation via Automaton-Media) that despite positive reviews, it ultimately failed to meet sales targets.

“Insufficient marketing” and “failure to generate buzz” leading up to the launch contributed to its under-performance. The action strategy title crossed 500,000 players less than a month after release, though it’s available on Game Pass and sales figures are unknown.

Sales are on track for other titles released this year, including Dead Rising Deluxe Remaster, Marvel vs. Capcom Fighting Collection: Arcade Classics, and Ace Attorney Investigations Collection. Capcom is still confident in its annual targets, with Monster Hunter Wilds launching on February 28th, 2025.

Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess is available for Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, PS4, PS5, and PC. Check out our review here. The company clarified before launch that there are no plans for DLC, which looks even less likely given its sales.
