If you needed any further proof of the terrifying cultural potency of Leon S. Kennedy, here it is: Resident Evil Requiem has sold over 7 million copies in just under two months. The latest in a string of Capcom sales successes, the milestone makes Requiem the fastest-selling Resident Evil game to date. While Capcom hasn't circulated a press release officially confirming the figure, the milestone was shared on game director Koshi Nakanishi's Instagram (via Twisted Voxel), where he posted a photo of Capcom staff honoring the achievement with a pair of celebratory Resident Evil-themed cakes. Capcom also hasn't circulated a press release confirming the quality of the cakes, but we can presume they were delightful. Resident Evil has already been setting series sales records for years: In 2021, Resident Evil Village sold 3 million copies in four days. In 2023, the RE4 remake smashed that success by selling the same amount in half the time. By selling 7 million copies since its February 26 launch, however, Requiem needed just two months to cross a sales milestone that the RE4 remake took a year to accomplish, having sold 6.48 million units in February 2024.
