Bandai Namco Declares 20.5 Million Elden Ring Unit Sales

[T0@st]

A recent Bandai Namco investor report has indicated that FromSoftware's hugely popular action action role-player has sold a total of 20.5 million units, which is highly impressive when you consider that the game launched last February. The publisher and developer's preceding Dark Souls series, as a whole, was reported to have sold 27 million copies in total by mid-2020. Bandai Namco states that uptake of its recently released games titles have not met company expectations, but FromSoftware's smash hit seems to be picking up the slack: "Repeat sales of existing titles such as Elden Ring were strong, especially overseas, worldwide sales reaching 20.5 million. New worldwide titles got off to slow starts, but smaller more medium-sized products moved steadily."

The report suggests that interest in Elden Ring is expected to dip: "We expect a pullback in repeat Elden Ring sales, which made a particularly large contribution to this previous year." The Elden Ring twitter account boasted about hitting the 20 million sales mark back in February 2023, so it can be assumed that a mere 500,000 units have been sold in the interim period between then and this month's investor report. Bandai Namco's document states that an Elden Ring DLC/expansion is in the works, but no further details are provided about the content or release time frame.

Absolutely amazing entry to FromSoft's catalog. I am probably 600hrs in and counting now and I haven't even started on mods yet. I can't wait for the DLC to drop.

Me too, I beat Melina in the second try but i might have died atleast 100 times in last 2 months and still can't figure out how to beat it. Too much range attack for my style imo, he keeps safe distance and i am unable to learn his attack pattern.

Just watched basically a no damage run by a guy using just the star fists and he's obliterated every single boss without a sweat even Placiduseaux and Elden Beast all the ranged bosses. I say to myself why even bother after seeing that.
