Also, let Capcom know your thoughts on the gameWhether we like it or love it, the video game industry is in something of a remake enlightenment of some kind. There are, of course, some fantastic remakes and remasters (https://www.destructoid.com/nominees-destructoid-best-remaster-remake-of-2022-goty-game-of-the-year/) out there, one of which is Resident Evil 4. Not only a great game in its own right but a fantastic reimagining of what many consider to be one of the best horror titles in existence.
Since the remake was released in March of this year, Capcom's modern take on RE4 has been a rousing success. In fact, according to the developer, the game has now surpassed five million in sales. The press release (https://www.capcom.co.jp/ir/english/news/html/e230720.html) on the company website says the Resident Evil 4 remake "provides both fans of the series and newcomers alike with a fresh gameplay experience."

This latest milestone comes just shortly after it was announced that the game had sold four million units (https://www.destructoid.com/resident-evil-4-surpasses-four-million-shipments-and-digital-sales/). To date, the Resident Evil series has sold around 142 million copies worldwide, going back to its first entry in 1996.
What's next?Resident Evil 4 may be the latest in a list of remakes Capcom is doing, but is it the last? In June, the studio asked what RE fans wanted to see next (https://www.destructoid.com/capcom-survey-asks-which-resident-evil-you-want-remade-next/), and whether anyone was interested in even more remakes. On top of that, a recent shareholder meeting (https://www.destructoid.com/capcom-gives-non-committal-answer-to-resident-evil-spinoff-remakes-in-shareholder-meeting/) suggested the developer was not necessarily saying no to remaking spin-off Resident Evil games. Then again, they weren't saying yes either, so it's still up in the air.
Of course, we can't say for certain what's in store. We're pretty confident in saying that RE9 is probably imminent (though we don't have full confirmation on that yet), and it's possible that Capcom may want to do more reimaginings in the future. A lot of fans would probably like to see an official remake of Code Veronica, for example.
In the meantime, you can let the developer know what you thought of Resident Evil 4 by taking this questionnaire (https://www.enqform.capcom.com/form/pub/form1/re4-en).
