Sales

Capcom's figures, reported by Gematsu, put Requiem at 8.0 million copies by June 30, 2026. For comparison, the same report lists the RE2 remake at 19.7 million, RE7 at 18.4 million, the RE4 remake at 16.0 million, Village at 15.8 million and the RE3 remake at 14.5 million. Those games have had many more years on sale.

What critics did not like

Wikipedia's reception section mentions repetitive late-game bosses and a Rhodes Hill area that critics found derivative of RE2. That is a short list for a game with scores in the nineties, but it is worth knowing if variety matters to you.

Series veterans who want to see where the story goes decades after Raccoon City.
