The Resident Evil Movie Wasn’t The Main Force Behind RE Games’ Recent Sales Boost
Recent sales boosts for Resident Evil games were primarily driven by discounts offered before the release of Zach Cregger's Resident Evil movie, rather than the film's box office performance. While the movie saw a modest bump in game sales, pre-release discounts on titles like Resident Evil 2 and Resident Evil 4 on PlayStation 5 had a more significant impact. Analysts suggest that future releases like Resident Evil Veronica could benefit from better transmedia integration.
