‘Resident Evil’ Series Continues to Eclipse Sales Records in Latest Capcom Fiscal Report
Capcom continues to rake in the sales for the Resident Evil series. In the company’s latest financial report, not only have the recent three remakes added to their totals from this past summer, but the series as a whole now stands at 150 million units sold. This makes the Resident Evil series Capcom’s best-selling property.
The report delves into the second quarter for Capcom’s Fiscal Year 2023, covering May through August (thanks, RelyOnHorror). The report notes that Capcom’s remakes of Resident Evil 2, Resident Evil 3, and Resident Evil 4 have now sold 13.3 million, 8 million and 5.4 million in sales, respectively. This is obviously up from the totals from June, which Capcom had reflected in their list of million-selling “Platinum Titles” back in August.
For those curious, the remake of Resident Evil 2 is not (yet) the best-selling Capcom game, as Monster Hunter: World still remains on top. Meanwhile, the Devil May Cry series now stands at 30 million units sold throughout its lifetime, while Dragon’s Dogma sits at 7.9 million units, with the impending sequel obviously ratcheting that up upon its release.
The report isn’t all good news, however. Their new IP in Exoprimal, which arrived this past July for PC, Xbox and PlayStation consoles, still hasn’t cracked the million milestone, and sits at under 940,000 units sold. That doesn’t bode well for the teased Dino Crisis content for the game (though to be honest, fans want an actual Dino Crisis revival instead of a tribute).
The latest content for Resident Evil 4 in the “Separate Ways” DLC is out now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 5 and the Xbox Series.

Upcoming “Unholy Alliance” Update for ‘Cult of the Lamb’ Adds Local Co-op and More [Teaser]
Cult of the Lamb players will be getting more free goodies later this summer with the Unholy Alliance update. Coming August 12, the update introduces a brand new playable character in the Goat, which coincides with the game allowing local co-op.
With the Unholy Alliance update, the entire Cult of the Lamb campaign will be playable in local co-op. Players will also be able to enjoy special 2-player versions of existing mini-games, such as Fishing and Knucklebones, as well as choose from a selection of weapons, tarot cards, curses, and corrupted relics as your cooperative crusades progress.
The Lamb and Goat can also swap weapons, deal extra damage when fighting back to back, and even deliver a critical hit when their attacks are in sync. Good news for those who prefer to stay alone in their corner: they will be able to benefit from various new powers.
In addition to the addition of cooperative play, the Unholy Alliance expansion adds several tarot cards, relics, buildings, fleeces, character traits and quests, as well as the addition of new secrets to discover.
More information on the update will be released as the launch date creeps closer. Cult of The Lamb is available now on PC via Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series, and the Nintendo Switch.
