Resident Evil 4 Remake<\/a> was always going to be popular. It was comfortably the most anticipated overhaul in Capcom’s makeover project, given the original is one of the best games of all time. But I hadn’t anticipated just how <\/em>popular it would prove to be. This week, Capcom announced that not only has Resi 4 redux sold 10 million copies, it’s the fastest game in the entire series to do so.<\/p>\n

Capcom revealed the news in a press release<\/a> on its Japanese website. While Resi 4 Remake is the quickest game to hit the 10 million mark, it’s still behind Capcom’s other recent Resi games in terms of raw sales at present. According to Capcom, Resident Evil Village has sold 11 million units since 2021, while both Resident Evil 7 and Resident Evil 2 remake have sold over 15 million copies apiece. These figures, Capcom says, means it has “successfully executed its long-term catalog sales strategy.”<\/p>\n

Although Resident Evil 4’s reputation no doubt helped it toward such speedy success, it sure didn’t hurt that the remake itself was pretty darn good. Rich lamented the fact that it lacked some of the original’s zany excess in his review<\/a>, but was delighted by the tweaks it made to the combat. “The moment-to-moment combat is as good as Resident Evil has ever been, and that’s saying something: That shout of ‘Un forastero!’ still sends chills down my spine every time.”<\/p>\n
