Capcom has announced<\/a> that Resident Evil Requiem<\/a> has now sold over six million units worldwide, which is the fastest that an entry in the series has reached such an impressive milestone.<\/p>\n

Released on 27th February 2026, Requiem subsequently managed to surpass 5 million in sales within its first week on store shelves. A further 1 million have been shifted in the roughly two weeks following, which means that while momentum has certainly slowed, fans are still picking the game up in droves.<\/p>\n

In terms of total sale figures, Requiem is currently the eighth best-selling in the series<\/a>, sitting between Resident Evil 5<\/a> at 10 million and Resident Evil<\/a> remake at 5.10 million.<\/p>\n

Game director Koshi Nakanishi has since confirmed that work is underway on a story expansion<\/a> for Requiem, though what this will entail is unknown at the time of writing. A photo mode will also be added in the near future, with a ‘minigame’ promised this coming May. Again, we don’t know what this is, but we’ve got our fingers crossed for Mercenaries Mode.<\/p>\n

Capcom has been on a roll recently, and isn’t looking to slow down anytime soon. Just next month in fact, on 17th April, it will launch Pragmata<\/a> on Switch 2 alongside PC, PS5, and Xbox Series X|S. There’s a free demo available now if you want to try before you buy, and you can also check out our impressions<\/a> from a previous hands-on event in which we said it “has the potential to be something really special”.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, if you’re likely to be playing Requiem for the foreseeable future, don’t forget that Capcom is planning on launching Grace and Leon amiibo figures<\/a> on 30th July 2025. Both will unlock in-game cosmetic skins for your weapons, so don’t go expecting any Prime 4-inspired cutscenes from these things.<\/p>\n
