In of market performance, Resident Evil titles typically do well across the board. A couple of the more recent installments have even become top-sellers for Capcom as a whole, with Resident Evil 2 Remake is fast approaching eight million copies sold itself. The remake set Steam records a couple of years ago, too, topping 75,000 peak concurrents - most notable for being a series high. Capcom's latest horror-filled adventure is already outpacing its predecessors on this front, though.

Suffice it to say, the newest installment in Capcom's long-running horror franchise is already off to an incredibly strong start. It'll be interesting to see how Resident Evil Village fares on the sales charts in the weeks and months ahead, especially on the heels of predominantly positive review scores across the board. The success of Resident Evil 7 suggests Capcom has nothing to worry about on this front, though.
RE Village may even outperform its 2017 predecessor. The hype surrounding the adventure appears to be at an all-time high for the brand, which is undeniably thanks to the internet's continuously expanding obsession with Lady Dimitrescu. Her towering height initially drew people in, as did her overall Victorian era-inspired costume design, which quickly spawned a Vampire Lady cosplay craze that's yet to cease. Capcom's recent release of public demos engendered yet another craze of sorts, evident in some of the mods that have gone viral online over the last several days. With the full game now out in the wild, the Lady Dimitrescu creations are bound to get even creative.
Resident Evil Village is available now on PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
