‘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.
All of us here at Bloody Disgusting are deeply sad to learn that actress Daveigh Chase has passed away at just 35 years old. The news was first reported by TMZ this afternoon.
The outlet reports, “The actress’ boyfriend, Roy Hernandez, tells TMZ … Daveigh died Tuesday from meningitis and an infection in her blood, which caused her to have septic issues and led to her body shutting down.” The website’s report continues, “We’re told Daveigh had been admitted to a hospital in Los Angeles earlier this month because of malnutrition.”
Here in the horror world, a young Daveigh Chase memorably played Samara in Gore Verbinski’s 2002 horror movie The Ring, the American remake of the Japanese horror hit.
Far outside the horror world, Daveigh Chase voiced Lilo in the 2002 animated movie Lilo & Stitch, a character she continued to voice in various animated spinoff projects.
Chase also appeared as Samantha Darko in the 2001 classic Donnie Darko, later returning to play the sister of Donnie Darko in the 2009 spinoff movie titled S. Darko.
Daveigh Chase’s resume also includes roles on the TV shows “Sabrina the Teenage Witch,” “Charmed,” “ER,” “Touched by an Angel,” “CSI,” “Cold Case,” and 32 episodes of “Big Love.”
Chase appeared in the films The Rats, Silence, Carolina, Beethoven’s 5th, Yellow, Little Red Wagon, Transference, Killer Crush, Jack Goes Home, and American Romance.
We send our deepest condolences to Daveigh Chase’s family, friends, and fans.
