Despite it not receiving the same positive response as the Resident Evil 2 remake, that didn’t stop fans from racking up two million in sales and shipments over the first five days since the game’s release, according to Capcom.
Partly due to the ongoing pandemic, partly Capcom’s marketing, which included the release of the “Raccoon City Demo” for Resident Evil 3 and an open beta test for Resident Evil Resistance, which ‘generated attention and a strong reception from fans’, the digital versions of the game accounted for nearly 50 percent of sales.
So, what about Resident Evil 2? According to the same report, the 2019 remake has eclipsed 6.5 million in sales. This all comes on the back of rumours yesterday that Capcom was in the process of moving forward with a Resident Evil 4 remake.
Resident Evil 3 is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One.
