‘Resident Evil 2’ Has Shipped 4 Million Units Worldwide In its First Month
Yesterday, it was revealed that the Resident Evil series had sold in excess of 90 million units worldwide since its inception in 1996. Then, we noted it was likely that last month’s Resident Evil 2 remake had contributed a fair bit to that total as it had only previously been revealed that it had shipped over 3 million copies.
Well, Capcom has since revealed that 2019’s Resident Evil 2 has now shipped more than 4 million units worldwide since its release at the end of last month.
While that’s shipped, not sold, it does mean it’s probably surpassed the sales of Resident Evil 3 and Code: Veronica, and just over half of the original Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 7‘s lifetime sales (about 6 million each).
It’s not hard to imagine that figure will be going up steadily throughout the year, and Capcom will no doubt do a nifty repackage next year.
It’s thoroughly deserved of course, because Resident Evil 2 is great. You can read up on whose campaign we thought was the best, personally, I preferred Claire.
Resident Evil 2 is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Epic’s Fortnite is heading for another crossover, this time with Universal Orlando and Halloween Horror Nights. The title’s annual Fortnitemares Halloween event will be coming to Universal Studios Hollywood and Universal Orlando Resort in a new scare zone, kicking off on August 28.
For those not in the know, Scare zones are themed, open-air areas where guests and actors roam around freely.
This is the first time Fortnite will be featured during the after-hours event, which will run from August 28 until November 1. Tickets and packages are on sale now at the official site.
Per the press release, guests will enter Freaky Fields, a Halloween-inspired living battleground that’s been “overcome with a threatening force.” From there, fans will meet up with the Battle Bus, featuring familiar Fortnitemares characters, including “a few new additions exclusive to Halloween Horror Nights.”
And of course, there will be Fortnitemares merchandise available for fans, including a graphic t-shirt, decal set, and an acrylic collectible piece.
Fortnitemares won’t be the only featured property at this year’s Halloween Horror Nights. Killer Klowns from Outer Space will also be getting its own scare zone. Sinners, Stranger Things, Hellraiser, and Evil Dead Burn will also be part of the event, though they will be relegated to their own specific houses.
And while it’s early yet, gamers can probably expect Fortnitemares to return to Fortnite this October.
