“It’s been two years, but this is by far the fastest Resident Evil game to achieve a milestone like this.” With 9 million copies sold, Resident Evil 4 Remake continues to ride the wave of Capcom’s success.

The idea of remaking Resident Evil 4 was long considered a distant dream for fans, something that didn’t seem feasible. However, in 2023, this dream became a reality with the release of Capcom’s reimagined classic, captivating players worldwide. Two years later, the game has surpassed an impressive 9 million copies sold.

According to Alex Aniel, a business development expert, the remake sold over 1 million copies in the last quarter of 2024 alone, outpacing previous titles like Resident Evil Village and Resident Evil 7, which sold 500,000 and 400,000 copies respectively in the same timeframe. This rapid sales pace places the Resident Evil 4 Remake among Capcom’s biggest hits. With over 9 million copies sold since its 2023 debut, it has become the fastest-selling installment in the Resident Evil series.

This success is part of Capcom’s proven strategy of revitalizing classic titles. The Resident Evil 2 Remake has sold 14.5 million copies, while the Resident Evil 3 Remake has reached 9.2 million. These remakes appeal to both long-time fans and a new generation of players.

Though it’s been two years since the last Resident Evil release, Capcom has confirmed plans to continue producing remakes of its classic entries. In 2023, Yasuhiro Anpo stated that the company aims to preserve the spirit of the original games while making them accessible to new generations. While no specific title has been announced for the next remake, fans can look forward to new updates soon.
