Resident Evil 4 Remake Reaches a Distinguishable Mark in Half the Time as Other Franchise Titles

In 2005, Capcom released one of the most popular horror games Resident Evil 4. This video game had some of the best jump scares, gore, terror, and plot, making it the ideal horror game. And it quickly became one of the best sellers that year. But over time, it got lost in time as Capcom released newer Resident Evil titles.

Capcom has finally decided to bring back these classics by remaking them with the latest video game mechanics and graphics. After remaking the second and third titles of the Resident Evil series, Capcom revived the beloved Resident Evil 4. Like with the original, the remake is also breaking records with its release.

Resident Evil 4 Remake beats its predecessors

Resident Evil 4 Remake came out on March 24, meaning it has only been available for over two weeks. Recently, a report has gone viral that showcases the number of units this game has sold in 14 days. But what’s even more interesting about this report is that it compares these sales to the past resident Evil sales.

This newly released horror game has sold over four million units in just 14 days. Meanwhile, the closest to this result is the 3.5 million units that Resident Evil 7 sold. But even this 2017-released horror game took 63 days to sell these many copies. Only Resident Evil 8 was able to sell four million copies in the least time next to this 2023-released remake, which was 20 days.

Even among all the Resident Evil remakes that Capcom has made so far, this remake of the fourth installment takes the crown. The second game’s remake only sold four million copies in 30 days, while the third game’s remake sold 2.7 million in 90 days. It would be interesting to see if this remake becomes the best-selling title in this horror game series or not.

What do fans have to say about RE4R’s great feat?

Fans were not very surprised with this remake doing so well in the market. Many fans even hoped that Capcom follows the direction used in this title for their future Resident Evil games.
