Resident Evil 4 Remake Sales Surpass 9 Million
Capcom's Resident Evil 4 remake has achieved phenomenal success, recently surpassing 9 million copies sold. This milestone follows the game's release in March 2023 and subsequent releases of the Gold Edition and an iOS version. The remake's rapid sales are particularly impressive given it recently passed the 8 million mark.
The game's popularity is unsurprising, considering its action-packed gameplay, a significant departure from the series' survival horror origins. The remake follows Leon S. Kennedy as he battles a sinister cult to rescue the President's daughter, Ashley Graham.
Capcom's official Twitter account, CapcomDev1, celebrated the achievement with celebratory artwork showcasing beloved characters like Ada, Krauser, and Saddler. A recent update further boosted the game's appeal, particularly for PS5 Pro users.
Record-Breaking Success
Resident Evil 4's sales trajectory is unprecedented for the series. According to Alex Aniel, author of Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil, it's the fastest-selling Resident Evil game to date. This is highlighted by comparing its sales to Resident Evil Village, which reached only 500,000 copies in its eighth quarter.
Looking Ahead: Future Remakes and Beyond
Given the overwhelming success of the Resident Evil 4 remake, anticipation is high for Capcom's next moves. Many fans are eagerly awaiting a 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. Other titles ripe for a modern update include Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil CODE: Veronica, both significant to the series' overarching narrative. Naturally, the announcement of a Resident Evil 9 would also be met with great enthusiasm.
