The remake card is paying off for Capcom, as almost all the remakes sold in millions. Taking it back to the prequels of the game, The Resident Evil 3 remake (2020) sold over 2 million units in the first 5 days of release. Similarly, The Resident Evil 2 remake (2019) surpassed a whopping 3 million copies sold within a week. But With Resident Evil 4, large numbers were achieved in a smaller time frame.
It is only the franchise’s beginning as the Resident Evil 4 remake will receive the classic Mercenaries mode, which will undoubtedly increase the hype again, leading to even higher numbers of sales. With low requirements and high thrills, the RE4 remake has also achieved a huge thumbs-up for optimization.
