Resident Evil 4 Remake surpasses 4 million sales, Mercenaries mode now available

Resident Evil 4 Remake has already become one of the fastest-selling games in the franchise, having accrued 3 million sales in just two days. Now it has been roughly two weeks since the game released, and Capcom has updated its sales figures once again.

At this point, Resident Evil 4 Remake has sold four million copies in its first two weeks on sale. For comparison, it took almost three weeks for Resident Evil Village to sell that many copies, and it took a full month for Resident Evil 2 Remake to hit four million copies sold. Resident Evil 3 Remake underperformed in comparison to other recent RE games, taking 90 days to sell 2.7 million copies, falling behind the other remakes and modern RE trilogy titles, including RE 7 and Village.

Recently it came to light that Resident Evil 4 Remake could be due for a story expansion at some point. References to Separate Ways, a side-campaign that shipped with some versions of the original Resident Evil 4, were found in the files for the remake, indicating that the additional campaign will be released as DLC for the remake at some point.

While a story expansion has not been announced yet, Resident Evil 4 Remake is getting two other major updates that we know of. For starters, the game will be getting PlayStation VR2 support at some point. Additionally, today the Mercenaries update is rolling out for the game, which is essentially a horde mode separate from the main campaign.

KitGuru Says: I'm a little over half way through the Remake so far and I have been impressed. Capcom's revival of the Resident Evil franchise has had some missteps along the way but overall, I think this is the best the series has ever been.
