Why It Matters: Resident Evil Requiem is a prominent example of what can happen when a franchise caters to its fans while continuing to evolve in creative ways that don’t stray too far away from its roots.
Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil Requiem has now surpassed 6 million copies sold worldwide, becoming the fastest game in the franchise to achieve this milestone.
For comparison, the Resident Evil 4 remake took eight months to ship these numbers, while Requiem has sold 6 million in under one month. The horror game also previously broke Resident Evil 6’s record to become the biggest launch in the IP’s history.
Furthermore, Resident Evil Requiem achieved a similar result on Steam, breaking the franchise record for concurrent players and surpassing the Resident Evil 4 remake’s peak user count.
In the press release, Capcom also teased that some special plans are in place for the upcoming 30th anniversary of the franchise. With multiple titles like the Code Veronica remake and Resident Evil 10 in development, one can only wonder what will be announced.
