Resident Evil's total sales across the franchise's ﷺhistory are now 113 million and counting thanks to the early success of Village.
Resident Evil Village hit the market a couple of weeks ago and has enjoyed a successful start to life. The eighth chapter in the franchise has 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:already sold three million copies, knocki𒊎ng New Pokemon Snap o💝ff the top of the boxed charts during its launch weekend. Even though Mass Effect: Legendary Edition has sin𒈔ce laid claim to 🌌that title, there's still a lot for Capcom ওto be happy abo✱ut.
for the year ending March 31, 2021, revealed the total lifetime sales across all Resident Evil games. 110 million units sold during its 25-year history. That figure is made eve🌺n more impressive when you realize it doesn't even include Village sales. The new title wasn't released until May while the reportꦇ only accounts for sales up until the end of March.
That means Resident Evil's franchise sales are now north of 113 million units, at least. Odds are it's closer to 115 million. Village😼 remained in the top two during its second week and boxed sales dropped by 59%, suggesting the game sold at least a million more copies during week two. It might be a while before Village tops Resident Ev🔥il 7 which shifted nine million copies worldwide.
Outside of Resident Evil, the Monster Hunter franchise is Capcom's most successful. The same financial report revealed Monster Hunter games have sold 72 million copies worldwide. Again, this number is probably a little on the low side since Monster Hunter Rise was released just five days before the end of the last fiscal year. The first Monster Hunter wasn't released until Resident Evil games had been onꦚ the market for eight years, so it may be closer to that 113 million mark a few years from now.
Village was one of the most anticipated games of the year released at a time when new tiles are coming thick and fast. Its demos and the thirst from some for Lady Dimitrescu ahead of release day undoubtedly contributed to its hype and follow-up success. Speaking of Lady Dimitrescu, turns out 168澳洲幸运5开奖网:a line of dialogue that was cut from Vill🍸age had her say "good girl". Make of thꦦat what you will.
