Resident Evil 4 Remake shines in Capcom’s latest financial report

Capcom recently shared a report including information about the company’s financials and profit margins. Along with the financial figures for the years 2023-2024, there are also details about how successful their games have been over the last few months. Games like Street Fighter 6 and Resident Evil 4 Remake have not even been around for a year. And yet Capcom has managed to sell 2.5 million copies of Street Fighter 6 and 5.5 million copies of the Resident Evil 4 Remake.

In the report, Capcom also displayed that Resident Evil sold 150 million units worldwide. Recently, Resident Evil 4 reinforced its legacy by releasing the Separate Ways DLC on September 21.

Meanwhile, Street Fighter 6 further enriched the world of this iconic fighting game franchise by introducing “A.K.I.” on September 27, contributing to its total sales of 52 million units.

The Monster Hunter series, which celebrated its 20th anniversary, hinted at a special project. With an impressive 95 million units sold, it undeniably enjoys a massive and dedicated fan base. The Capcom classic, Mega Man, maintains its strength with 41 million units sold, while Dragon’s Dogma has amassed a dedicated fan base of 7.9 million units. The stylish action-adventure series Devil May Cry has achieved sales of 30 million units so far, reaffirming its position in the action game genre. These figures exemplify the enduring impact of Capcom’s major IPs in the gaming world.

Separate Ways DLC for Resident Evil 4 Remake

The Separate Ways DLC pushed the success of Resident Evil 4 Remake further by expanding on the story and giving players more content to enjoy for the Halloween season. The gameplay in Separate Ways closely resembles the base campaign of Resident Evil 4. Players assume the role of Ada Wong, exploring new areas on the Island, searching for treasures, and battling terrifying creatures. While there are some new weapons and a grappling hook for added variety, the DLC maintains the beloved core gameplay of the original.

What sets the DLC apart is its extra hours of content and polished storylines. Capcom has transformed this DLC, which was originally a 90-minute bonus, into a full-fledged campaign. It provides around six hours of added intense, action-packed, story-driven gameplay that is just as memorable as the main game.

Separate Ways enhances the Resident Evil 4 narrative by delving into Ada’s interactions with other characters, such as Luis. The recent DLC, priced at $10, is highly recommended as an addition to Resident Evil 4 as it offers a substantial amount of content and represents the pinnacle of one of the year’s best games.

Considering the game’s original ideas are over 2 decades old, gamers are happy to see Capcom progress with time to keep these titles alive and successful. And these games have only strengthened the name of Capcom in the ever-growing industry and the studio does not look like it is going anywhere, anytime soon.
