‘Resident Evil’ Series Continues to Eclipse Sales Records in Latest Capcom Fiscal Report

Published

Capcom continues to rake in the sales for the Resident Evil series. In the company’s latest financial report, not only have the recent three remakes added to their totals from this past summer, but the series as a whole now stands at 150 million units sold. This makes the Resident Evil series Capcom’s best-selling property.

The report delves into the second quarter for Capcom’s Fiscal Year 2023, covering May through August (thanks, RelyOnHorror). The report notes that Capcom’s remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 have now sold 13.3 million, 8 million and 5.4 million in sales, respectively. This is obviously up from the totals from June, which Capcom had reflected in their list of million-selling “Platinum Titles” back in August.

For those curious, the remake of Resident Evil 2 is not (yet) the best-selling Capcom game, as Monster Hunter: World still remains on top. Meanwhile, the Devil May Cry series now stands at 30 million units sold throughout its lifetime, while Dragon’s Dogma sits at 7.9 million units, with the impending sequel obviously ratcheting that up upon its release.

The report isn’t all good news, however. Their new IP in Exoprimal, which arrived this past July for PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles, still hasn’t cracked the million milestone, and sits at under 940,000 units sold. That doesn’t bode well for the teased Dino Crisis content for the game (though to be honest, fans want an actual Dino Crisis revival instead of a tribute).

The latest content for Resident Evil 4 in the “Separate Ways” DLC is out now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

While it’s not a sequel to DreadOut 2 that some fans were hoping for, developer Digital Happiness and Singapore-based publisher Soft Source Publishing have announced the next best thing with DreadOut Remastered Collection, which is set to head to the PlayStation 5 and the Nintendo Switch later this year. This remaster will include the original DreadOut, and the standalone game DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark. Details on just what the remaster includes have yet to be revealed.

“Having worked on bringing DreadOut 2 to consoles, the team at Soft Source Publishing were enthralled by the idea when Pak Rachmad CEO of Digital Happiness threw out the idea of bringing back DreadOut and DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark to consoles,” says Soft Source Publishing director Sameer Pandit in a press release (thanks, Gematsu!). “It’s an immediate thought that we want to be a part of this new project. DreadOut is an iconic IP in Asia and has been spreading its wings in the rest of the world with the release of DreadOut 2 on consoles.”

For those who don’t know, DreadOut (which you can find on Steam) is a third-person supernatural horror game that was released back in 2014 where you play as Linda, a high school student. When the group of high school students Linda was a part of became lost while on a field trip, they stumble across an abandoned town. However, the town holds a dark secret that has left Linda fighting to get out of the town. Using a similar mechanic to Fatal Frame, Linda is equipped with a smart-phone and an SLR camera, which she will use to battle against the horrors in the town and solve puzzles.

Meanwhile, DreadOut: Keepers of the Dark is a “missing chapter” from the original game, where you will help Linda face off against more ghosts and challenges in The Mirror Realm: a portal of worlds that connects it to eight haunted dominions where horrific ghosts are ready to greet her in the most terrifying way possible.
