Capcom has announced that Resident Evil 4 has officially surpassed seven million copies sold. This title is a remake of the hit 2005 title, often praised as one of the greatest action games ever created. RE4 (2023) was at 6.48 million copies sold as of January 31, so this additional 500,000 copies were likely due to the release of the Gold Edition.
Alongside this news, Capcom announced that the Resident Evil series has surpassed 154 million copies sold, spanning from 1996 to the present. A total of 170 titles have been released thus far in the series.
We reviewed the game last year after its release and gave it a 5/5, stating, “Resident Evil 4 reimagines and reanimates the 2005 classic with exceptional gameplay updates and lifelike visuals. The thrilling narrative and meticulously crafted environment have made RE4 a game I just can’t stop playing. With such high attention to detail, Capcom has crafted a prodigious experience so immersive that it stands gallantly as one of the greatest video game experiences offered in the industry today.”
As of now, the next Resident Evil title has yet to be announced. Many fans speculate that Resident Evil 9 is up next, but there is a possibility that a remake of Resident Evil 5 could come as well. We’ll have to wait and find out, but the future of Resident Evil has never been brighter.
