Capcom’s latest financials don’t paint the best picture for Monster Hunter Wilds post-launch, but it’s not all bad news. Devil May Cry 5 reached nearly 11 million units sold with over 2.1 million copies in the first half of this fiscal year. Then there are the big four Resident Evil titles, which continue to sell well years after launch.
Resident Evil Village is worth pointing out first. It sold 12.872 million copies, with 1.566 million sold in the past two quarters. That puts it above the more recent Resident Evil 4 remake, but the latter is still performing well with 1.266 million sold in the same period for a lifetime total of nearly 11.2 million.
Of course, neither can measure up to 2019’s Resident Evil 2 remake, the current highest-selling title in the series at 16.342 million units sold. However, Resident Evil 7: biohazard shouldn’t be ignored – it’s slowly creeping up towards 16 million units sold with almost 1.2 million sold in this fiscal year thus far.
The title is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 next year in February alongside Resident Evil Village, so it could very well unseat Resident Evil 2 remake in the process.
Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth mainline title, launches on February 27th, 2026, for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2. Pre-orders go live later today, so expect further details on its price and various editions.
It’s interesting to see how Resident Evil Village has surpassed the sales of the Resident Evil 4 Remake. The franchise continues to evolve, and it’s impressive that Resident Evil 2 still holds such a strong position. Capcom certainly has a diverse portfolio, and it’ll be intriguing to watch how they navigate the challenges with Monster Hunter Wilds.
Absolutely! It’s fascinating to see how the game’s unique blend of horror and action has resonated with players. Plus, the strong character development in Village really sets it apart and might be driving those sales.
