Resident Evil 4 Remake sells eight million copies in a year and a half
Capcom today revealed that 2023’s Resident Evil 4 Remake has surpassed eight million copies sold. Taking to X, the Japanese company posted the sales milestone alongside a piece of anime-inspired art to celebrate.
Resident Evil 4 Remake launched in March 2023, taking just over a year and a half to reach the impressive sales figure. 2019’s Resident Evil 2 Remake—currently the best-selling game in the franchise—has sold over 13.9 million copies to date, a figure that took the horror reimagining 5 years to reach.
The success of Capcom’s remake projects has inspired other Japanese publishers to do the same, most notably Konami with this month’s well-received Silent Hill 2 Remake.
