This week, Capcom has announced a huge milestone for the Resident Evil 4 remake. The game has sold over 10 million copies and is now the fastest-selling game in the Resident Evil franchise.

The Capcom company shared details of the sales milestone in a press release on its investor relations website. There, the company shared a few different stats about the Resident Evil franchise’s sales so far:

  • Resident Evil VII: 15 million units sold
  • Resident Evil 2: 15 million sold
  • Resident Evil Village: 11 million sold
  • Resident Evil 3: 10 million sold
  • Resident Evil 4: 10 million sold

Meanwhile, the developing team behind the game was also allowed to share a message of thanks for the fans alongside a pretty funny little video of appreciation that can be seen below.

It’s worth noting that it’s not just that Resident Evil 4 broke 10 million units. It was also the fastest game to complete that milestone, achieving that milestone in just a little over 2 years. It was back in March 2023 that this game came out to massive praise from both players and critics alike, including achieving the first Shacknews 10 out of 10 that we’ve ever given. It would go on to win awards later in the year and has received even more cool content such as Ada Wong’s Separate Ways DLC.

With 10 million unit sales in the books for Resident Evil 4 remake, and Resident Evil 9 confirmed to be in development, stay tuned to the Resident Evil series topic for more news and coverage on the games.

        I hate it. Now they think "Hey, all we have to do is keep remaking old games. No new IP or risk taking!"

          I dunno. They release Kunitsu Gami last year. And they aren’t just remaking Monster Hunter games. And SF6 is actually good.

            SF6 is a non-risk no new IP. I dunno that first one at all. I have no comment on Monster Hunters.

              That first one is a new IP that was released last year. They even dropped that Exoprimal game a little while back. I think they are balancing remakes with new stuff pretty well and the overall business has turned around a ton from 10 years ago.

          I would feel that way if the remakes were bad, or if they were 1:1 remakes of games I’d already played. But their remakes tend to be creative and push the source material in new directions.

            I mean that's *something*? But still. 10 million is "this is what our audience wants" territory.

              Speaking to RE, it’s what I want. I didn’t care for RE7 or 8 as much as others. I’d rather have remakes that are done well.
