| Resident Evil remaster breaks one million units worldwide | 2015-04-24 | http://images.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/brelston/remake/7bd248fee73f86ddc06bbd62bbce3688.jpg Survival horror lives! The critically acclaimed HD update to Resident Evil (released this past January) has now sold over one million units worldwide.
