Lady D in Resident Evil Village<\/a><\/p>\n

After launching less than a week ago on May 7, Resident Evil Village<\/strong> has managed to ship over 3 million units around the world.<\/p>\n

<\/span><\/p>\n

Capcom’s latest entry in the iconic survival horror franchise has been as well-received as its other recent projects, with Capcom confirming via press release<\/a> that the PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X\/S, Xbox One, and PC game has shipped a massive 3 million units.<\/p>\n

The figure includes shipments to retailers, as well as digital sales, which is how Capcom usually counts it.<\/p>\n

That’s roughly the same number of copies that Resident Evil 2 Remake achieved back when it launched in January 2019<\/a>, and similar to what Resident Evil 7 managed to rake in within three days when it launched in 2017.<\/a><\/p>\n

As of this 3 million strong bump, sales of the Resident Evil series as a whole have now crossed 100 million units. Capcom also notes that Resident Evil 7 has shipped over 8.5 million at the time of writing, no doubt seeing a slight uplift thanks to anticipation for Village.<\/p>\n

Strong critical reception<\/a> to the game has helped the game shift more units in its opening days, and the promise of more PvP content to come in the form of Resident Evil Re:Verse<\/a> will also provide a longer tail for the game’s sales, too.<\/p>\n

The tenth main installment in the series, Resident Evil Village is a narrative sequel to Resident Evil 7 and is set three years after the events of the game, following the tragic tale of Ethan Winters’ life.<\/p>\n

“Resident Evil Village is an excellent and worthy sequel to RE7, even if it can’t quite meet that game’s heights – and action-lovers are in for a real treat,” wrote Alex in our Resident Evil Village review.<\/a><\/p>\n
