Resident Evil 4 Remake Shatters Sales Records, Exceeding 9 Million Copies Sold!

Capcom's recent remake of Resident Evil 4 has achieved phenomenal success, surpassing 9 million copies sold since its release. This remarkable achievement follows the game's earlier milestone of 8 million sales, further solidifying its position as a major player in the gaming industry. The surge in sales is likely attributed to the February 2023 launch of the Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition and the late 2023 iOS release.

The remake, launched in March 2023, reimagines the 2005 classic, following Leon S. Kennedy's mission to rescue the President's daughter, Ashley Graham, from a dangerous cult. A significant departure from its survival horror origins, the remake shifted the gameplay towards a more action-oriented experience.

This milestone was celebrated by CapcomDev1 on Twitter, showcasing artwork featuring beloved characters like Ada, Krauser, Saddler, Salazar, and Mendez enjoying a celebratory game of bingo. A recent update further enhanced the game's performance, particularly for PS5 Pro users.

Resident Evil 4's Unstoppable Momentum

According to Alex Aniel, author of the Resident Evil fan book Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil, Resident Evil 4 has become the fastest-selling title in the franchise. This success is particularly striking when compared to Resident Evil Village, which reached only 500,000 copies sold by its eighth quarter.

What's Next for Capcom's Resident Evil Franchise?

The overwhelming success of Resident Evil 4, and the series as a whole, has fueled anticipation for Capcom's future projects. Many fans eagerly await a potential Resident Evil 5 remake, a possibility made more likely by the relatively short timeframe (just over a year) between the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes. However, other titles in the series, such as Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil CODE: Veronica, also hold significant narrative weight and could benefit from a modern update. Naturally, the prospect of a Resident Evil 9 announcement would also be met with great enthusiasm.
