Resident Evil: Requiem Storms Steam. Players Prepare Record-Breaking Series Launch

Resident Evil remains the most iconic horror franchise in the world, so anticipation for the upcoming Resident Evil Requiem is extremely high. Recent data shows the series is steadily moving toward a new historical milestone.

Across its lifetime the franchise has sold 174 million copies — a figure that noticeably outpaces all other horror series combined. Industry analysts believe the forthcoming Resident Evil 9, titled Requiem, could become the most successful launch in the brand’s history.

Capcom announced that more than two million users across all platforms have already added the game to their wishlists — an impressive achievement. On Steam the project ranks 11th among the most anticipated releases, and since PC sales account for over half of Capcom’s revenue, experts are predicting a record-setting debut.

“A new era of survival horror will begin in 2026 for the more than two million of you who have added Resident Evil Requiem to your wishlist. Thank you!” the company said in an official statement.
