Resident Evil series hits 213 million sales as Capcom plans 10-year end

Capcom says the first phase of its ten-year Resident Evil plan is complete following the release of Resident Evil Requiem in February 2026. Senior Managing Executive Officer Jun Takeuchi notes the series has sold over 213 million copies as it approaches its 30th anniversary. The overarching narrative took shape gradually since the Resident Evil 2 remake rather than starting with a fixed roadmap.

The next development phase will combine new entries and remakes into a single story across two tracks. Capcom plans to conclude the main plot over the next ten years across multiple titles, though the exact number of games is not yet set. The upcoming Resident Evil Veronica remake is scheduled for 2027 from the team behind the Resident Evil 4 remake, after restarting development two or three times. Takeuchi also confirms plans to reveal the true nature of Umbrella co-founder Oswell Spencer while maintaining an undisclosed connection between Requiem and Resident Evil 7.
