Capcom has released the updated sales figures for its million-selling titles as of June 30, 2024. The company’s popular title, the Resident Evil 2 remake, has now sold 14.2 million units, up 300,000 from its previous milestone. This positions it as Capcom’s third-best-selling game since its release in January 2019.
Resident Evil 3 Remake Performance
The 2020 remake of Resident Evil 3, which received mixed reviews at launch, has reached nine million units sold, marking an increase of 300,000 units since the last update. The Resident Evil franchise as a whole had cumulatively sold 160 million units by March 31, 2024, and the updated sales figures will likely push this number even higher.
Future Resident Evil Projects
Capcom is currently developing the next mainline Resident Evil game under the direction of Koshi Nakanishi, who previously helmed Resident Evil 7: biohazard. This new title is projected to launch in late 2025, though a release in early 2026 is also possible. Additionally, there are ongoing rumors about remakes of Resident Evil Zero and Resident Evil – Code: Veronica, although these have not been officially confirmed.
Earlier reports highlighted the consistent popularity of the Resident Evil series, which has been a significant revenue generator for Capcom. Even titles that initially received lukewarm reactions, such as the Resident Evil 3 remake, continue to perform well in the market. The series’ enduring success reflects both strong brand loyalty and effective marketing strategies employed by Capcom.
The steady sales figures for Resident Evil titles underscore Capcom’s ability to maintain interest in long-running franchises. While the company looks to the future with new releases and potential remakes, the continued sales of existing titles highlight the enduring appeal of the Resident Evil brand. The upcoming Resident Evil game under Nakanishi’s direction is highly anticipated, and Capcom’s strategy appears centered on balancing new content with the revitalization of older titles.
