Resident Evil Village Hits 10M Sales: Fastest-Selling Game In Series History

Resident Evil Village, released in May 2021, has sold more than 10 million copies, making it the fastest-selling game in the series. Its success mirrors that of Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, sharing a first-person perspective and adding a third-person option.

The game's protagonist, Ethan Winters, battles werewolf-like Lycans in a European village, with a focus on action. Moreover, the popularity of the character Lady Dimitrescu significantly boosted the game’s appeal and marketing efforts.

Capcom ADR‘s CCOEY Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, which includes additional story content and expanded device support, contributed to sustained sales of around two million copies annually.

As a result, Resident Evil Village has become the third best-selling Resident Evil game, trailing only behind the Resident Evil 2 remake and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard. The franchise has sold a total of 157 million units.

Looking ahead, the Resident Evil franchise appears poised for more remakes and a new installment. Reports indicated remakes of Resident Evil Zero and Code Veronica are in development, while fans eagerly anticipate the next main entry, tentatively referred to as Resident Evil 9.
