Capcom Celebrates Resident Evil Requiem’s 7 Million Sales with Star-Studded Party

Capcom Throws a Zombie Bash: Resident Evil Requiem Sells 7 Million Copies and Counting

What’s the best way to celebrate a game that’s selling faster than hotcakes at a lumberjack convention? If you’re Capcom, you throw a party so epic even Geoff Keighley shows up to get his zombie groove on! Resident Evil Requiem just hit an impressive 7 million copies sold, and in true Capcom style, this milestone was marked with Leon and Grace-themed cakes and an “after-party bingo” hosted by the Game Awards maestro himself. Because who doesn’t love a little bingo after some cake?

Requiem’s Record-Breaking Rampage

Resident Evil Requiem has been smashing records left and right, becoming the fastest-selling game in the series. It zoomed past the 5 million mark in less than a week after its February release, and didn’t take long to hit 6 million shortly thereafter. In comparison, poor Resident Evil 4 (2023) had to slog through an entire year plus a week to reach the same milestone. Maybe Leon should’ve brought more cake.

For perspective (and because gamers love numbers), Capcom’s reigning sales champ in the Resident Evil universe is still the 2019 remake of Resident Evil 2, boasting a whopping 16.8 million sales. Following closely are Resident Evil 7 with 16.4 million, Village with 13.5 million, and our hardworking RE4 (2023) with 12.2 million.

Speculation Station: All Aboard

The presence of Geoff Keighley has set tongues wagging faster than you can say “T-virus.” With June’s Summer Game Fest around the corner—a stage where Capcom has historically flexed its muscles—rumor has it we might see some tantalizing announcements soon. And if that wasn’t enough fuel for your speculation fire, director Koshi Nakanishi just dropped an Instagram story featuring himself cozying up with Keighley, leading fans to hope for a juicy DLC announcement for Requiem.

Future Content: More Than Just Cake

If you’re worried that this party marks the end of Requiem’s journey, fear not! Capcom is all set to roll out more content that promises photorealistic visuals and a level of immersion that might just make you forget about your real-world responsibilities—like sleeping or showering.

With platforms like Xbox Series X | S, PlayStation 5, PC, and Nintendo Switch 2 ready to host your next undead adventure, there’s plenty more zombie-slaying action on the horizon.

So whether you’re here for the cake or the carnage—or maybe even Geoff Keighley’s bingo prowess—Resident Evil Requiem is living (or undead?) proof that this franchise isn’t slowing down anytime soon.
