Capcom has revealed that Resident Evil 4 Remake is off to a strong start after selling more than three million copies in its first two days on sale.
This appears to give Resident Evil 4 the best launch of all the Remake titles, as Resident Evil 2 had only shipped three million units in its first week and Resident Evil 3 was only confirmed to hit 3.9 million sold after a year and a half on the market.
The three million number references worldwide sales of the highly anticipated remake, and also across all consoles (PlayStation 4 and 5, Xbox One and Series) and PC.
It’s a game Capcom has been hyping up for a while, and not just because it’s a remake of what’s considered one of the greatest games of all time. The publisher released a special demo ahead of Resident Evil 4’s launch that included a sneaky, super hard mode, and it even made promises of free DLC.
Beyond what has been announced, however, a dataminer find evidence in Resident Evil 4’s code suggesting that the Ada Wong Separate Ways bonus content is also on the way, though this isn’t official as of yet.
In our 10/10 review, IGN said: “The Resident Evil 4 remake is the series’ most relentlessly exciting adventure rebuilt, refined, and realised to the full extent of its enormous potential.”
