The news was announced as part of the publisher’s most recent financial results for the company’s financial year that ended on March 31, 2022. According to the official press release, the latest Resident Evil installment has now sold over 6.1 million copies since its global launch last year on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Xbox One, and PC. “During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022, Capcom achieved a 32.6-million-unit record-high annual sales volume for its video games in its core Digital Contents business, driven by the release of new titles in major series, such as Resident Evil Village and Monster Hunter Stories 2: Wings of Ruin, as well as by the continued success of bolstering sales of catalog titles via promoting digital sale”, Capcom writes. Interestingly, as reported back in January of this year, Capcom managed to sell 5.7 million copies of the game as of December 31st, 2021. This means that (approximately) an additional 400.000 copies of Village were sold across all platforms in three months’ time – quite the achievement. Resident Evil Village remains the fastest-selling entry in the history of the franchise.
