Elden Ring received much praise from both audiences and critics upon its release exactly one year ago. Since then, the game has maintained a phenomenal sales pace, pushing it to the position of one of the most successful action games ever. Elden Ring has sold over 20 million copies since its release around a year ago, according to publisher Bandai Namco Entertainment and developer FromSoftware.
Elden Ring, the newest game from the creator of Dark Souls, was named the game of the year in 2022. It was a huge success on both the commercial and critical fronts.
According to Dexerto’s analysis of the game, “Elden Ring finally combines the delightful heaviness of the Dark Souls fighting system with an open-world environment.” The Dark Souls games were the canvases on which Ring was painted, so it’s tough to avoid making comparisons, but it’s a great place to start.
Bandai Namco’s recent confirmation that the game has sold more than 20 million copies in less than a year is another evidence of how fruitful FromSoftware’s partnership with Game of Thrones creator Geroge R. R. Martin has been.
More Than 20 Million Copies of Elden Ring have been Sold
With the description “our warmest thanks for your support and company on this trip,” the official Elden Ring Twitter account announced the notification. Additionally, the Dark Souls series, which includes three games, has 33.4 million sales, according to a March 2022 announcement from Bandai Namco. Given these facts, there is a probability that Elden Ring will exceed the entire Dark Souls trilogy in the coming years based on the sales figures it has already managed to earn in less than a year.
The fame and hype about the game haven’t faded even though over a full year has gone since it initially launched. Thanks to recent DLC rumors and gossip, the community is now fully operational.
Going farther into the future, it also appears plausible that Elden Ring will soon have a sequel. The game has sold over 20 million copies. Therefore Bandai Namco must be asking FromSoftware for another installment in the series, even though this project is undoubtedly far enough off. Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon, scheduled to release later in 2023, is FromSoftware’s primary priority.
Conclusion Note
So here we have discussed the huge success of the Elden rings, which sold more than 20 million copies, and the counting is continuing.
