Resident Evil 2 hits major milestone just as new series arrives on Netflix

What a tough first day on the job for Leon S. Kennedy, who begins his career as a police officer just as disaster strikes Raccoon City. Together with Claire Redfield, who is desperately searching for her brother Chris, they roam the zombie-infested streets and explore the police station. Resident Evil 2 tells this story and reimagines it in the remake, which has already reached 10 million copies sold. This was celebrated by Capcom in a message shared on social media. "We did it!!!" they tweeted.

Back in March 2022, when the fiscal year ended, the Japanese revealed that the revamped version of the second installment had already sold 9.6 million copies. Therefore, over the course of these 4 months, another 400,000 units have been distributed and sold. It should be noted that Resident Evil 2 Remake, Resident Evil 3 Remake and Resident Evil 7: Biohazard have been recently adapted to the new generation systems (Xbox Series X, Xbox Series S and PS5), with improvements that have also reached PC.

New Resident Evil series on Neftlix, when does it premiere?

The history of the franchise is rewritten in Netflix's Resident Evil, a live-action series that will not be canon, so they can freely interpret the events of the video games or add the elements they see fit. The series premieres on July 14 on the platform and stars Wesker's daughters.

Jade and Billy Wesker are the daughters of Albert Wesker, one of the most legendary villains of the Resident Evil franchise. In this series, the women will witness their father's dark secrets, which will lead the city of Raccoon City to absolute disaster: zombies, giant spiders and a whole host of monstrous creatures will wipe out all the survivors.

The next games in the series are the Resident Evil Village expansion, Shadows of Rose, and the remake of Resident Evil 4, available March 24, 2023.
