CAPCOM says Resident Evil 4 Remake has reached 10 million copies sold worldwide. This achievement comes about two years after its March 2023 launch. The game hit three million sales in just two days, grew to four million within a week, reached five million under four months, pushed to six million before 2023 ended, climbed to seven million at its first birthday, and reached nine million late last year.
This places Resident Evil 4 Remake seventh among all CAPCOM games ever, just ahead of Resident Evil 3 Remake, but still trailing Resident Evil Village by around one million copies. The game might eventually catch up to Resident Evil 2 Remake, which holds third place with 15 million copies sold across all platforms.
Wccftech reviewer Nathan Birch praised the game overall but noted some shortcomings. He felt the remake did not boldly reinvent the original material as much as fans hoped. Despite these concerns, he emphasized that CAPCOM delivered a technically impressive version of an already fantastic action-horror game.
Birch mentioned that famous sequences like the village battle, cabin defense, and first Regenerator encounter remain thrilling in the remake. He also compared it to Resident Evil Village, which he described as a bigger, more adventurous take on the RE4 formula than the actual remake itself.
Reports suggest CAPCOM plans to announce Resident Evil 9 soon. Fans also hear that Code Veronica may become the next remake project, though it will likely be smaller in scope than the Resident Evil 4 production.
