Capcom Co., Ltd. (Capcom) today announced that worldwide shipments of RESIDENT EVIL 7 biohazard<\/em> (RESIDENT EVIL 7<\/em>), the latest installment in the Resident Evil<\/em> franchise, for PlayStation\u00ae4, Xbox One and Windows PC have surpassed 2.5 million units.<\/p>\n\n

The Resident Evil<\/em> franchise features survival horror games in which players utilize a variety of weapons and other items to escape terrifying situations. Cumulative sales of the games in the series now total 75 million units* since the first title debuted in 1996. Support from the passionate fan base across the globe even today, more than 20 years later, makes it Capcom’s flagship game series. (*As of January 27, 2017)<\/span><\/p>\n\n

RESIDENT EVIL 7<\/em> is the latest installment, and builds upon the series’ roots of fear, exploration and tense atmosphere. The full game is also available to play via the included optional PlayStation®VR Mode for the PS4 version. In order to provide an overwhelming, deeply immersive horror experience, the game’s system underwent a dramatic shift from its previous third-person camera to a new first-person perspective. Further, with the new RE ENGINE, a proprietary game engine developed in-house for this title, Capcom has pushed hardware specifications to their limits. As a result, the title garnered attention worldwide, with the demo version exceeding 7.15 million downloads—a record for the series—and the game selling more than 2.5 million units.<\/p>\n\n

As part of Capcom’s ongoing efforts to expand the Resident Evil<\/em> brand beyond the category of games, the newest Hollywood film, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter<\/em>, recorded the film series’ largest Japanese box-office opening yet after its December 23, 2016 release, and is slated to open worldwide starting today; additionally, the feature-length CG film RESIDENT EVIL: VENDETTA<\/em> is scheduled for a May 2017 worldwide release.<\/p>\n\n

Capcom remains firmly committed to satisfying the expectations of all users by leveraging its industry-leading game development capabilities in order to create highly entertaining gameplay experiences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
