Resident Evil Requiem a Hit for Capcom

Last month, Capcom announced that Resident Evil Requiem, the ninth main instalment in the Resident Evil franchise, had sold over six million copies. Requiem is now the fastest title in the Resident Evil franchise to reach that sales milestone.

Capcom has also promised continued post launch support for the horror game, including releasing new content updates. “Going forward, Capcom plans to implement several measures, such as ongoing support and additional game content, so players can continue to enjoy the title longer,” Capcom said last month.

Requiem is now also the highest user rated game of all time on Metacritic. The 10/10 Gadgets 360 review of Resident Evil Requiem called it a “horror masterpiece.”
