Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that new multiplatform title Resident Evil 4 has sold over 4 million units worldwide.
The Resident Evil franchise features survival horror games in which players utilize a variety of weapons and other items to escape terrifying situations. Cumulative shipments of the games in the series now exceed 135 million units* since the first title debuted in 1996. Now, more than 27 years later, continuous support from the passionate fan base across the globe makes it Capcom’s flagship game series.
Resident Evil 4 is a remake of the original 2005 title. In addition to reworking the story and modernizing the game feel, the 2023 release provides both fans of the series and newcomers alike with a fresh gameplay experience, featuring highly immersive visuals powered by the cutting-edge graphics technology of Capcom’s proprietary RE ENGINE. In addition to Resident Evil 4 garnering interest and attention from the release of the Chainsaw Demo prior to launch, sales of the title grew steadily following a highly positive reception from customers, driving worldwide sales over 4 million units. Capcom will continue to focus on growing sales of the title, including with the release of The Mercenaries free additional downloadable content on April 7.
Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all stakeholders by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.
Speaking of the game, Capcom has also rolled out The Mercenaries free DLC for RE4 today! Not only that, but we also get microtransactions for the game available today as well, which means Capcom’s coffers will be lined up with more silver for players willing to pay up.
Given how well received RE4 remake has been, don’t be surprised if we hear that it has crossed the five-million-units-sold mark soon!
