To the surprise of no one, Capcom’s Resident Evil 2 remake has hit another milestone. Coinciding with the release of the Netflix Resident Evil series, Capcom announced that the 2019 remake has now sold 10 million units worldwide across PC and consoles.
Per the press release, Capcom had this to say: “[Resident Evil 2] garnered critical acclaim from international media, lauded for providing a fresh horror experience, deeply immersive world and dramatic story all made possible by the latest in cutting-edge technology. Following its launch, Capcom released a steady stream of high-quality titles from the series, including Resident Evil 3 and Resident Evil Village, and executed a flexible pricing strategy that leveraged digital sales. Moreover, the company promoted the overall brand with regular content releases—such as the live-action Resident Evil series that began streaming today, July 14, on Netflix—propelling cumulative sales of Resident Evil 2 to surpass 10 million units worldwide.”
While Capcom’s official Platinum titles list hasn’t been updated since March 2022, the Resident Evil 2 remake is still behind Resident Evil 7 as the highest-selling entry of the series. The 2017 hit has sold 10.8 million units, which will now doubt have increased since the Spring.
Meanwhile, the latest entry in the series, Resident Evil Village, will likely have caught up to Resident Evil 5‘s 8.2 million units by now. It’ll only be adding more to its total once the “Shadows of Rose” DLC arrives on October 28.
