Just a few days after Capcom reported that Resident Evil Requiem had set a franchise best with 5 million sales in its launch week, the company has had to update those figures. The horror hit has increased its lifetime sales to 6 million units sold globally, which now makes it the fastest-selling Resident Evil game to date. In total, the Resident Evil franchise has now sold 183 million units since it kicked off in 1996.
Those numbers will likely increase in time as Capcom has confirmed that a new story expansion is in development, and while that won’t be out for a while yet, more immediate updates include a photo mode and a mystery minigame. Capcom had previously attributed the success of Resident Evil Requiem to a well-run marketing campaign and the game catering to a wide variety of players with its difficulty modes while still retaining its core survival-horror appeal. The company confirmed ongoing support and additional game content as the series celebrates its 30th anniversary.
“Capcom is readying various plans for this anniversary to delight series fans, such as a collaboration between Universal Studios Japan and Resident Evil Requiem in 2026, and orchestral concerts in Japan, the US, and Europe,”
