Resident Evil 7: Biohazard surpasses 10 million copies sold

Capcom has recently announced that Resident Evil 7: Biohazard is well over the 10 million copies sold milestone. It may not make much sense to you if you have not played the game. It would be logical for the Japanese company to focus on Resident Evil Village since it's the last installment in the series and not on its predecessor, but things are quite different. It turns out that Resident Evil 7: Biohazard managed to captivate the fans of the series by offering them an experience that is quite similar to the one that originally got them to like Resident Evil games, and that seems to weigh more than the novelty of a new game.

What's the key to Resident Evil 7: Biohazard success?

Resident Evil Village is a great game, and it delivers quite an exciting survival horror experience. The game even features some characters that had quite an impact on the fans. Lady Dimitrescu, for example, will be remembered as one of the most iconic antagonists in the series in the years to come. That said, Resident Evil Village offers quite a different experience from Resident Evil 7: Biohazard, which somehow opened a new world to the players with a renewed focus on exploration and by changing the player's point of view in the game. As a first-person survival horror title, it allows for a more profound feeling of immersion than other games in the series while still offering the same type of thrilling experience that will have your heart pumping adrenaline while Ethan Winters looks for his missing wife.

Resident Evil 7: Biohazard has become the first game in the series to surpass 10 million copies sold without needing a remake. That leaves us wondering if one of the most popular survival horror franchises of all time wouldn't be even more successful if all of its games were first-person. We highly recommend that you give the game a try whether you are a fan of Resident Evil or not.
