This is not a children's toy: Resident Evil Requiem developer claims that the horror became successful due to the Switch 2 version

Portable consoles are no longer a specific hobby for a small number of fans. Now the success of the game depends on whether it appeared on consoles like the Nintendo Switch 2. Anyway, that's how it worked with Resident Evil Requiem, says project producer Masato Kumazawa.

It is already known that Resident Evil Requiem turned out to be an extremely successful game. It recently sold over seven million copies, becoming the fastest-selling installment in the history of the Capcom series. Moreover, a story DLC may be released soon, which will launch a second wave of sales.

However, success does not always depend on the quality of the game. In any case, this will not necessarily provide the project with record figures. Masato Kumazawa is sure that it's all about porting Resident Evil Requiem correctly.

Moreover, the producer believes that the Nintendo console has opened the Resident Evil series to a completely new audience.

By the way, hackers recently hacked the PC version of Resident Evil Requiem, which is protected by the Denuvo system. Moreover, we are talking about a full-fledged hacking, and not about bypassing protection using a hypervisor.

What do you think is the main reason for the success of Resident Evil Requiem?
