Resident Evil 4 Remake, the action-packed horror game, has impressively surpassed the 10 million copies mark. This exciting news comes from Capcom, the game’s publisher, which shared this milestone on their investor relations webpage. Interestingly, Resident Evil 4 Remake has outpaced its predecessors to become the fastest-selling title in the history of the Resident Evil franchise.
The game made its debut in March 2023, and Capcom has noted that its revamped gameplay — which artfully maintains the original’s charm — has won the hearts of both longtime fans and newcomers. The game has been widely praised by critics and players alike, earning numerous awards and propelling its sales to new heights around the world.
Capcom also shared some notable achievements from other games in the series: Resident Evil 7 from 2017 and Resident Evil 2 from 2019 have collectively sold over 15 million copies. Meanwhile, Resident Evil Village has crossed the 11 million mark, and the 2020 remake of Resident Evil 3 has also surpassed 10 million copies sold.
The secret to this success lies in Capcom’s robust back catalog strategy, which has kept the series relevant and appealing to new generations of gamers. Since its inception in 1996, the Resident Evil franchise has sold more than 167 million copies worldwide, highlighting its enduring popularity and impact in the gaming world.
