If it’s logically starting to slow, the January 2018 game’s sales (900,000 copies) just hit the 18 million mark this fiscal year, cementing its place as the great champion in Capcom’s gaming history. What’s more, this number doesn’t include Monster Hunter World: Iceborne, which totaled 9.2 million sales (including 1.4 million this fiscal year).
Another game that’s aging particularly well, Resident Evil 7 Resident Evil, its sales have only increased over the past two fiscal years. It sold 1 million copies in 2019-2020, then 1.5 million in 2020-2021, and finally 1.8 million in 2021-2022. As a result, the episode, released in January 2017, had 10.8 million copies even before it was optimized on the PlayStation 5 and Xbox series.
However, Resident Evil 7’s Resident Evil is about to be replaced by an even better performance from the remake of Resident Evil 2: 9.6 million copies worldwide, despite its release two years later. For those currently making the Grands Tremblants happy, the 10 million mark is just a few months away.
Resident Evil 3’s remake didn’t start off as spectacularly as its predecessor, but it still sold 5.2 million copies in 2 years. Finally, the number has been known for a few days, but Resident Evil Village ended its first fiscal year with 6.1 million copies worldwide. It’s better than Resident Evil 7 Resident Evil, which made 5 million for a similar duration.
after? At present, Capcom has only one major title with a release date, and that is “Monster Hunter Rise: Dawn”, which will be released on June 30, 2022, relying on the sales of 9 million of the base game. However, the publisher confirmed that there are “several headlines“On the cards for this fiscal year, game releases are projected to hit a record 37 million by March 2023, compared to 32.6 million last fiscal year. So we’re celebrating.
