The latest UK boxed charts have been revealed, and it's a surprise return to form for Capcom's Resident Evil Requiem. Despite no major new releases to shake up the rankings, Requiem has seen a significant boost in sales, catapulting it to the number one spot ahead of Assassin's Creed Black Flag Resynced and Pokémon Pokopia.

This sudden surge in popularity is all the more intriguing given the lack of major discounts or promotions that could explain the increase in sales. With some outlets offering the game at around £10 less than the recommended retail price, it seems that fans are simply eager to get their hands on the game.
