The ‘Resident Evil 2’ Remake Is Now the Best-Selling ‘Resident Evil’ Game Ever
Let’s be honest: we all saw this coming. Capcom has once again updated their list of million-selling “Platinum Titles”, and to no one’s surprise, their remake of Resident Evil 2 is now the highest-selling entry in the series. Resident Evil 2 has now sold 12.60 million units across PlayStation, Xbox, Switch and PC, having surpassed Resident Evil 7‘s 12.40 million units.
The Resident Evil games are still a ways off from the top spot, which is currently held by Monster Hunter: World‘s 19 million units sold. However, the Resident Evil franchise now takes up six of the top 10 spots in Capcom’s list.
In fact, Capcom’s latest in the Resident Evil 4 remake is rapidly climbing the chart since its release earlier this year, with 4.9 million units sold. However, this number is already out of date, since Capcom announced last week that the RE4 remake has eclipsed 5 million.
You can expect that number to jump even more if Capcom confirms the “Separate Ways” DLC is indeed on the way. Regardless, the number will still increase once the VR Mode is released exclusively for the PlayStation VR 2.
Meanwhile, Devil May Cry 5 could enter the top 10 if it beats out Street Fighter V‘s 7.3 million units. The best-selling DMC entry currently sits at 7.2 million units across PlayStation, Xbox and PC.
Path Games provided an update for its in-development underwater haunted house title Dark Mass, revealing that the game will receive a physical release for PlayStation 5 as both a Standard Edition and a Collector’s Edition. The reveal also coincides with a new trailer that delves into the gameplay.
Dark Mass sees players take on the role of Alice, a deep-sea explorer who, alongside her brother Reed, stumbles upon the wreckage of an ancient ship. But beneath the ship lies they discover a manor lost to time, eerily untouched despite spending centuries in the ocean.
Alice decides to venture inside, but she soon realises that something is watching from the darkness, bound to the manor by a dark curse. Trapped within the manor’s decaying halls, Alice must now uncover the manor’s tragic past, solve puzzles based on real historical torture rituals, and make decisions that will ultimately define her fate.
Both the Standard Edition and Collector’s Edition will be published by SelectaPlay, with the Collector’s Edition having been designed “for horror fans and collectors,” bringing together a selection of physical items inspired by Alice’s journey, the mystery of the sunken manor and the unsettling atmosphere of the abyss.
The Standard Edition includes a physical copy of the game, along with an illustrated manual. Meanwhile, the Collector’s Edition includes the physical copy and manual, along with the following:
- Collector’s Box
- Official Art Book
- Lenticular postcard
- Alice’s turtle bracelet
- Original Soundtrack in Digipack format
- Exclusive Steelbook
In addition to the PlayStation 5, Dark Mass will be coming to the Xbox Series, and PC via Steam. The game is currently aiming for a fall 2026 release.
