Over 123 million total scares
Capcomhas announcedthat its 2020 releaseResident Evil 3has surpassed the five million sales mark. The impressive number takes into account both physical and digital sales on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
Resident Evil 3— a remake of the 1999 PlayStation titleResident Evil 3: Nemesis— was something of a no-brainer after the incredible success of 2019’sResident Evil 2remake, which itself has shifted an enormous 9.3 million units. While still a very solid title,Resident Evil 3did not find quite the same level of excitement and prestige among critics and fans, with some criticizing the title for feeling unambitious in scope, and dragging its feet a little for the third act. Regardless, the remake was praised for its great visual design, implementation of the RE Engine, and thrilling action set-pieces.
Capcom also noted that theResident Evilfranchise has now enjoyed a staggering 123 million lifetime sales, which includes all mainline and spin-offs titles set within the globally popular survival horror franchise. The most recent release, 2021’sResident Evil Village,has already pulled in 5.7 million sales, and witha rumored remake ofResident Evil 4on the horizon, (arguably the most beloved game in the entire series), it seems that sales — along with rivers of blood and viscera — are set to run and run.
Resident Evil 3is available now on PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
