Capcom announced today that Resident Evil 7 biohazard has shipped over 3 million units worldwide. The company also announced that the entire franchise has sold over 76 million units since its initial launch in 1996.RESIDENT EVIL 7 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. RESIDENT EVIL 7 is also an Xbox Play Anywhere digital game which allows play on both Xbox One and Windows 10 with shared saves, game add-ons, and achievements. In addition to utilizing the new proprietary RE ENGINE to push hardware specifications to their limits, the game's system underwent a dramatic shift from its previous third-person camera to a new first-person perspective in order to provide an overwhelming, deeply immersive horror experience. By incorporating broadly scoped innovations and refocusing on horror, the title earned numerous high-scoring reviews from around the globe and garnered attention from fans who also highly praised the game, leading it to exceed three million units shipped. Capcom will continue to expand interest and demand for the title by releasing additional downloadable content, as well as holding in-store PlayStation®VR demos throughout Japan with the aim of further promoting sales.
In addition, Resident Evil: The Final Chapter had a "strong performance worldwide." This has put the entire film franchise at box-office sales topping one billion dollars.
Side note, as an RE fan i'm not really stoked about the kind of game RE7 is, but the "RE ENGINE" looks and feels like next generation MT Framework which powered some of my favorite games of all time, i'm burning to see Capcom make more games on this engine.
