Resident Evil Village News

Depending on how you look at it, Resident Evil Village is either a tightly paced anthology, or three promising but frustratingly underdeveloped horror stories. And also Heisenberg for some reason.

I'd like to see these characters given some breathing room. While the tragedy of scarred dollmaker Donna Beneviento and the anguish of Oedipal frogspawn Moreau would make fine extended tales in their own right, what if Capcom decided it liked money (wild, I know), and gave Lady Dimitrescu the spotlight for its next release?

If you just felt a knock to the head, please ignore the Shiba Inu with the large bat standing next to you, and focus. Why do this? Because Lady Dimitrescu is the star of Resident Evil Village. Capcom, knowing this, turned fifteen minutes of scripted screen time into an entire marketing campaign. The themes of depraved aristocrats, gothic grandeur, and the bloodlines of nobility being held in higher regard than the lives of the poor are all amazingly fertile ground for sinister storytelling, and Village's ghost train narrative rattled through the castle before we'd even had a chance to admire the decor.

It's safe to say Resident Evil Village has been a bit of a hit. Developer Capcom has just announced that the latest addition to its long-running survival-horror games series has shipped more than four million units globally, which puts it ahead of the Resident Evil 3 remake - and it's fast catching up with sales for the Resident Evil 2 remake in the same period, too.

In an investor relations press release posted today, Capcom announces that the figure of over four million sales so far includes digital copies as well as physical ones. And, as industry analyst Daniel Ahmad points out on Twitter, this figure has already surpassed those of the Resident Evil 3 remake, which launched in April last year.

As of January this year, RE3 had hit a cumulative 3.6 million sales, as Capcom announced in its Q3 report for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2021. While there doesn't appear to be a more up-to-date figure available just yet, it's probably safe to assume this figure hasn't grown significantly since, given the game's sales will have slowed since its launch over a year ago.
