‘Resident Evil’ Franchise Crosses 100 Million Units Sold Milestone, ‘RE3’ Ships Two Million in Five Days
In a new update to their sale figures, Capcom has announced that the Resident Evil franchise has crossed the 100 million units milestone. Though it obviously won’t catch the Super Mario series anytime soon (hint: over 600 million), this puts the franchise in the company of other legendary properties such as The Legend of Zelda and Star Wars in terms of over 100 million units sold.
Along with that news comes more specific updates to Capcom’s Platinum Sales titles – titles that have sold over a million units. Monster Hunter: World continues to make bank, having sold an additional 800,000 units since December, keeping it as Capcom’s best-selling title at over 15.7 million units. Resident Evil 7: biohazard has now sold 7.5 million units, while the remake of Resident Evil 2 is coming up fast with 6.6 million units. Devil May Cry 5 is now the best-selling entry in the franchise at 3.5 million units.
Oh, and the recently-released Resident Evil 3 remake? That had shipped two million units just five days after it was released on April 3. The original RE3 has sold just over 3.5 million units, so it won’t be safe for long.
Obviously, Capcom is on a roll with the Resident Evil franchise again, which makes it seem like a no-brainer for them to be working (allegedly) on the Resident Evil 4 remake and Resident Evil 8.

Come Face to Face With the Zombie Menace in the Story Trailer for ‘Zombie Army VR’ [Watch]
While there’s no definitive release date just yet, Rebellion is teasing fans with a new story trailer for the upcoming Zombie Army VR, which is expected to arrive later this year. The new trailer gives fans and prospective players a glimpse at the Zombie Army VR story campaign, which as you might have guessed, involves occult magic, waves of zombies, and plenty of headshots.
The game’s campaign takes place alongside the events of the Zombie Army series, and sees you take to the field as one of the Deadhunters, an elite squad that is hunting down zombie war criminals. You must fight your way through undead hordes near the bombed-out city of Nuremberg to help Captain Hermann Wolff, the Deadhunter’s legendary leader, find his scattered family and fight to free Europe from the zombie apocalypse.
As you navigate the full-length story campaign either alone or with an ally, you’ll have access to an arsenal of authentic World War II weaponry, including sniper rifles, submachine guns, pistols and more. As one would expect, VR brings a new level of immersion to the action of the Zombie Army series, which will require you to “get to grips” with using your hands to aim your rifle, dual-wield your side arm with a submachine gun, master reloading drills, and tossing grenades.
Zombie Army VR is currently in development for the PlayStation VR2, Meta Quest 2, 3, Pro, Oculus Rift and PC headsets via Steam.
