Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that worldwide sales of Resident Evil Village surpassed 10 million*1 units in the three years since its 2021 release, making it the fastest title in the series to hit this milestone.
Resident Evil Village is the sequel to the lauded Resident Evil 7 biohazard, which was launched in 2017, and features a variety of horror experiences, a greater degree of action, and even more expansive, highly-engaging gameplay.
Following its 2021 release, the title garnered critical acclaim across the world after taking honors at the Golden Joystick Awards 2021 and Japan Game Awards: 2022 for its high degree of polish and emotionally resonant story that won over a broad range of game players worldwide. In addition, both the release of Resident Evil Village Gold Edition, which includes the main game and additional story content, and expanded supported for devices such as iPhone 15 Pro has led to increased unit sales. Even now, three years after its release, the title continues to gain new users, selling approximately 2 million units each year. This has resulted in it achieving more than 10 million units in sales, making it the fastest title in the series to reach this milestone.
Capcom is firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.
