Rumors of a Resident Evil 5 remake are circulating, with possible evidence suggesting Capcom may confirm its existence soon.

Capcom's Resident Evil 4 remake has passed a huge milestone, after reaching over 7 million copies sold. The remake of Resident Evil 4 is approaching its first birthday on March 23, and has crossed the 7 million sales mark just prior.

Resident Evil 4 is the latest in a slate of Capcom remakes of previous games in the series, with Resident Evil 2 and 3 being remade in 2019 and 2020, respectively. All the games were released to critical acclaim, justifying Capcom's decision to bring some of its best titles into the modern era with new gameplay innovations that still retained what made the originals so beloved. As of January 2024, the Resident Evil 4 remake became the fastest-selling game in the series, taking the record from the remake of the second title, and it seems that players are still jumping in to see what the game has to offer.

Resident Evil 4 confirmed the news of the game passing 7 million sales on Twitter, thanking fans for helping reach the landmark figure with a fun reference to the Merchant's line, "Heh heh heh... Thank you." The sales are likely to have been boosted by the release of the Resident Evil 4 remake's Gold Edition in February, which bundled the main game with the Separate Ways DLC as well as multiple cosmetic items for Leon and Ashley.

Resident Evil 4 Remake Hits 7 Million Sales

The title remains the most recent release in the series, and with interest in Resident Evil going nowhere any time soon, gamers should expect these impressive sales figures to keep rising. The Resident Evil 4 remake is frequently on sale at a strong discount, considering the game is just under a year old. Given its impressive score of 93 on Metacritic, it stands as an absolute must-play for any fans of the franchise.

With the remakes of Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 now released, attention naturally turns to the possibility of a Resident Evil 5 remake. Rumors are constantly swirling about the possibility, although Capcom has yet to officially confirm its existence. However, recent rumors suggest that might be about to change. Recently, evidence of a possible Resident Evil 5 remake surfaced, suggesting that the game already has a package on the Steam database that is being updated by Capcom. With the franchise set to turn 30 in 2026, it's possible that any release may line up with this massive upcoming anniversary, although this is purely speculation.
