Elden Ring Sales Crush Entire Dark Souls Series
Elden Ring continues to go from strength to strength as publisher Bandai Namco confirms sales now better than the entire Darks series. FromSoftware’s action RPG has sold over 28.6 million copies, surpassing the 27 million units sold by the Dark Souls franchise. The game’s sales got a boost with the recent Shadow of the Erdtree DLC.
Elden Ring, the action RPG from legendary developer FromSoftware, has now sold over 28.6 million units. The new milestone, confirmed by publisher Bandai Namco, sees the game surpass The entire Dark Souls series’ 27 million copies.
Bandai Namco revealed the record in a press release, highlighting the ongoing success of 2022’s Game of the Year. The launch of the Shadow of the Erdtree DLC in June helped push the sales figure another 3.6 million, up from 25 million before the expansion’s release. The Elden Ring series is about to expand with upcoming spin-off Nightreign expected in 2025.
Why Elden Ring Is a Game-Changer
FromSoftware built on the experience gained from the genre-defining Dark Souls series and expanded on it with Elden Ring. Set in a fantasy world partly designed by George R. R. Martin, Elden Ring combines a vast open world with challenging gameplay, offering players complete freedom in exploration and build customization.
The Shadow of the Erdtree, which was recently up for Game of the Year at The Game Awards 2024, introduces players to the Realm of Shadow, with new areas to explore, new legacy dungeons to complete, and undiscovered mysteries to unravel. Having now sold 28.6 million copies, Elden Ring is the flagship title for the Souls-like genre. Fans are rightly excited at what’s to come with the upcoming spin-off Nightreign.
What’s Next?
With continuing Elden Ring sales breaking new records for FromSoftware, the developer has turned to the upcoming Nightreign. As a spin-off, Elden Ring Nightreign is an online co-op Souls-like and will offer new challenges and new experience for fans.
