Resident Evil 4 remake passes four million sales
Capcom has confirmed that Resident Evil 4 has passed four million sales since its launch on March 23rd, and has helped the Resident Evil series as a whole pass 135 million sales since its debut in 1996. The news also comes as Resident Evil 4’s Mercenaries mode releases today, providing an additional challenge to the main story.
The Resident Evil 4 Remake sees players once again take on the role of Leon S. Kennedy, reliving the journey from the original’s 2005 release. The remake has seen various updates to take advantage of newer technology, such as much improved graphics using Capcom’s RE Engine, which also allows for enemies to be dismembered. The remake has expanded on the original release too with new areas to experience, which in turn add new story elements to the game so old and new fans get fresh content. Capcom even released some cute little anime shorts for Resident Evil 4 based on the game’s story, but not as gory as the game itself.
In our Resident Evil 4 review, Steve wrote, “Resident Evil 4 Remake is a more mature and darker take on Leon’s Euro Trip that constantly plays with your expectations and prior knowledge. The core narrative stays true to the original, but it’s not afraid to make some significant changes, while the new gameplay flow lends itself brilliantly for repeated runs for specific challenges that I’m already planning. I’m eagerly awaiting the Mercenaries mode as the hard hitting combat should be perfect for high score chasing, but in the meantime Leon is about to have a bad day all over again.”
Resident Evil 4 remake is available on PS5, Xbox Series X|S, PS4 and PC.
