CAPCOM Reports Resident Evil Requiem Sales Exceed 5 Million Units

Resident Evil Requiem Achieves Record Sales in Just Six Days

This morning, CAPCOM announced in a press release that Resident Evil Requiem has astonishingly surpassed five million units sold on a global scale, merely six days following its launch on February 27. Early indications of the game’s commercial success were highlighted by its remarkable ability to break previous franchise concurrency records on Steam.

Outstanding User Reception and Performance Metrics

The reception has been overwhelmingly favorable, with user reviews on Valve’s platform rated as Overwhelmingly Positive, currently sitting at an impressive 96%.Additionally, the title is tied for the highest user score on Metacritic alongside Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.

Unexplained Absence of Record Acknowledgment

Interestingly, while CAPCOM celebrates this sales milestone, they refrain from officially declaring Resident Evil Requiem as the fastest-selling entry in the franchise, which it undoubtedly is. For context, Resident Evil Village took nearly nine months to exceed 5.7 million units, and at that time, CAPCOM had touted it as the fastest-selling title within the series. Although the Resident Evil 4 remake later outperformed Village by reaching its milestone in under four months, Requiem managed to achieve this feat in under a week. This omission raises questions about their marketing strategy.

Upcoming Content and DLC Rumors

Regardless of the official stance, it’s clear that CAPCOM is pleased with the game’s performance. Reports from insider Dusk Golem suggest that work on a Resident Evil Requiem DLC centered around Leon Kennedy may already be underway. This anticipated expansion could further enhance the gaming experience for fans.
