Capcom today announced that worldwide shipments of Resident Evil 7, the latest installment in the Resident Evil franchise, have surpassed 2.5 million units. Do note that this does not mean that the game has sold 2.5 million units.
The Resident Evil franchise features survival horror games in which players utilize a variety of weapons and other items to escape terrifying situations. Cumulative sales of the games in the series now total 75 million units since the first title debuted in 1996.
