Demo For Horror Shooter ‘Ripout’ Available Now
If you’re eager to get a taste of what Pet Project Games and 3D Realms’ co-op horror shooter Ripout has to offer, you won’t have to wait long. Ripout currently has a demo available for you to try, which will also be part of Steam Next Fest next week. No word on if the PlayStation 5 or the Xbox Series of Ripout will be getting a demo of their own.
Set for release later this year, Ripout pits you and a group of friends against mutant-infested spaceships, all in the name of collecting loot and searching of the last remaining bastion of humanity in the universe. Players will choose between multiple character specializations, and arm themselves with their customisable biotech weapon, the Living Pet Weapon (LPW), which absorbs advanced tech from downed mutants for upgrades to your soldier. Missions in Ripout will feature scaling difficulty through procedurally-generated levels, and last about 10–20-minutes to maximize replayability potential.

‘Resident Evil Requiem’ Surpasses 8 Million Units Sold; ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Now Highest-Selling in Franchise
Capcom once again updated fans on their sales figures via their new quarterly report. And to no one’s surprise, Resident Evil Requiem continues to rake in the sales, having now crossed the 8 million units sold mark across the Nintendo Switch 2, PC via Steam and Epic Games Store, PlayStation 5, and the Xbox Series. This all comes after the game reached 7 million units sold just three months ago.
In even bigger news, Resident Evil 5, which has sold just over 19 million across various incarnations, is no longer the best selling entry in the series. That title now belongs to 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake, which has now moved 19.75 million copies across PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, Nintendo Switch, and PC.
It gets only more crowded when you look at the numbers of other entries: Resident Evil 7: biohazard currently sits at 18.41 million, while Resident Evil 6 has hit 17.60 million units. 2023’s Resident Evil 4 remake isn’t far behind with 16.04 million, while Resident Evil Village is at 15.86 million units. And while it’s considered a “miss” compared to the other remakes, 2020’s Resident Evil 3 remake is still at a respectable 14.52 million units.
Devil May Cry V, which was already the highest-selling entry in the franchise, has apparently seen a boost in sales thanks to the second season of the Netflix series and last month’s launch on the Switch 2, having now hit 14. 24 million units.
Meanwhile, we can look forward to Zach Cregger‘s violent take on the franchise with his Resident Evil film, which is set for a September 16 release.
