Resident Evil 4 Remake Surges Past Sales Milestone

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 like the Gold Edition and an iOS version. The remake's rapid sales are a testament to its popularity, building on the already impressive 8 million sales milestone reached earlier.

The game, a reimagining of the 2005 classic, features Leon S. Kennedy's mission to rescue the President's daughter from a sinister cult. A notable shift from the series' survival horror roots, Resident Evil 4 incorporates more action-oriented gameplay.

The CapcomDev1 Twitter account celebrated the achievement with celebratory artwork showcasing beloved characters like Ada, Krauser, and Saddler. A recent update further enhanced the experience for PS5 Pro players.

A Record-Breaking Success

Resident Evil 4's sales trajectory is remarkable, setting a new record as the fastest-selling title in the Resident Evil franchise. This is particularly striking when compared to Resident Evil Village, which reached 500,000 sales after its eighth quarter.

Anticipation for Future Remakes

Given the overwhelming success of the Resident Evil 4 remake, fans eagerly anticipate Capcom's next move. A Resident Evil 5 remake is highly speculated, potentially following the precedent set by the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes, released within a year of each other. Other titles like Resident Evil 0 and CODE: Veronica, significant to the overarching storyline, are also strong candidates for a modern update. Naturally, the announcement of Resident Evil 9 would also be met with considerable excitement.
