Capcom's Resident Evil Village has continued its success as the fastest-selling Resident Evil game to date. The report names this past year as the most profitable in Capcom's history, thanks in part to Resident Evil 8 shifting 6.1 million copies in its first eleven months on sale.
The latest entry in Capcom's Resident Evil 7: Biohazard's figure of 10.6 million.
Were it to top both of those, only Monster Hunter: World (17.8 million) would sit above it as the studio's best-selling game of all time – although it's worth noting that this statistic is for individual releases and doesn't include the combined sales totals of all the various releases and re-releases of Resident Evil 4 (over 10 mil), RE5 (over 13 mil), and RE6 (over 11 mil).
This excellent performance contributed to what Capcom describes as its most profitable year to date, with more game sales, DLC sales, and income than in any other year in its history. This included the January release of Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, alongside "continued sales growth" for older titles including Village's precursor Resident Evil 7, which sold an impressive 1.8 million copies in the 2021 fiscal year, and Monster Hunter: World.
Capcom also reaffirmed their intent to provide updates for Oculus Quest 2 to polish up the survival horror classic's virtual reality outing.
