Capcom revealed from a livestream at E3 2021 that they had already begun work on Resident Evil Village DLC content, as well as the fact that Resident Evil Village had “shipped over 4 million units worldwide,” including both physical and digital copies in its first 20 days of availability, meaning the latest installment in the franchise sold faster than the previous three major Resident Evil releases.
As of this writing, Resident Evil Village has reportedly shipped 4.5 million copies, per Capcom’s report. Monster Hunter Village has shipped over 7 million copies.
