The publisher announced the news via Twitter some hours ago. Since the launch of the remake back in January of 2019, more than 10 million units of the game were sold across PC, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
— Capcom Dev 1 (@dev1_official) July 14, 2022 An impressive number for sure for Capcom’s remake, especially if you consider that as of December 31, 2021, the title managed to sell over 5.8 million units globally. This means that an additional 4 million copies of the title were sold in roughly 7 months – not bad for a 2.5-year-old remake. Released on January 25, 2019, Resident Evil 2 Remake sold over 3 million copies in just three days after its launch. To this date, Capcom’s remake remains a solid title, and we rated it an 8.5 in our review upon the game’s launch. In case you missed it - Capcom recently released a free next-gen update for the game. The horrors of Resident Evil 2 are elevated by the game’s top-notch visuals. Environments are densely detailed, lighting effects are impressive, characters are wonderfully expressive, and the game’s violence packs a vicious punch. Shooting zombies results in accurate entry and exit wounds, accompanied by gloriously gooey sprays of gore and rotten flesh. It may feel like a slightly unseemly thing to compliment a game for, but there’s a certain art to over-the-top horror violence, and Resident Evil 2 takes it to a new level.
