RE4 Remake Achieves Monumental Franchise Sales Threshold

Resident Evil 4 Remake Surpasses 9 Million Copies Sold: A Capcom Triumph

Capcom's Resident Evil 4 remake has achieved phenomenal success, recently surpassing 9 million copies sold since its March 2023 launch. This milestone follows the game's earlier achievement of 8 million sales, demonstrating sustained popularity. The surge in sales is likely attributed to the February 2023 release of the Resident Evil 4 Gold Edition and a subsequent iOS port late in 2023.

The remake, a departure from the series' survival horror roots, shifted the gameplay towards action, following Leon S. Kennedy's mission to rescue the President's daughter from a sinister cult. This shift, along with the game's overall quality, contributed significantly to its commercial success.

The CapcomDev1 Twitter account celebrated the achievement with celebratory artwork showcasing beloved characters like Ada, Krauser, and Saddler. A recent update further boosted the game's performance, particularly for PS5 Pro users.

A Record-Breaking Success

Resident Evil 4's sales trajectory is unprecedented within the franchise. According to Alex Aniel, author of Itchy, Tasty: An Unofficial History of Resident Evil, it's the fastest-selling Resident Evil game to date. This is particularly impressive when compared to Resident Evil Village, which reached 500,000 sales only after eight quarters.

Anticipation for Future Remakes

Given the remarkable success of the Resident Evil 4 remake, fans eagerly anticipate Capcom's next move. Many speculate about a Resident Evil 5 remake, a possibility made more plausible by the relatively short time (just over a year) between the Resident Evil 2 and 3 remakes. However, other titles like Resident Evil 0 and Resident Evil CODE: Veronica, both crucial to the series' narrative, are also strong contenders for a modern reimagining. Naturally, the announcement of a Resident Evil 9 would also be met with immense enthusiasm.
