The game, a direct sequel to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, has been widely praised for its haunting narrative, captivating graphics, and innovative gameplay. With its latest sales achievement, it continues to solidify the Resident Evil franchise as a heavyweight in the gaming industry.
Resident Evil Village’s sales success isn’t Capcom’s only recent triumph. The company has also celebrated significant success with its Street Fighter 6 release, which accrued over a million players in three days.
Last month, the Japanese publisher revealed that their overall game sales had hit an all-time high, with 41 million units shipped within a fiscal year. This sales boom underlines Capcom’s strong foothold in the gaming market and the consistently high demand for its diverse portfolio of games.
