The circulation of the remake of Resident Evil 2 exceeded 2 million copies

Three and a half years and two and a half new games in the series have passed since the release of the Resident Evil 2 remake, but the "two" continues to sell well: CapCom reported, that the circulation of the project exceeded 10 million copies.

Nuances:

  • Circulation is described by the word "shipped", not "sold".
  • The circulation is indicated as of July 14, 2022.
  • If you start off from data for December 31, 2021, then for the whole of 2022, Resident Evil 2 has collected more than 700,000 copies.
  • Sales were definitely boosted by the launch of the next-gen version in June, but the series as a whole is constantly kept in the info field: for example, the Resident Evil series from Netflix starts today.

If you rely on the list of "platinum hits" on the CapCom website, it turns out that Resident Evil 2 is close to second place in terms of circulation in the entire history of the publishing house. Now there is Resident Evil 7 (10.8 million copies), and in first place - Monster Hunter: World (18 million copies).
