Dark Souls 3 racked up a few million sales, so it’s not surprising to read that From Software’s latest, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is already a success, but it’s still quite remarkable just how well it has done in little more than a week since launch.
Publisher Activision Blizzard has revealed that Sekiro has sold over 2 million copies worldwide across PS4, PC, and Xbox One.
Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice has shinobi-death-blowed its way into fans hearts and the top of the charts! With a “Must-Play” status on Metacritic that only one percent of all games achieve each year and 90+ rated review score across all platforms on Metacritic, the highly-anticipated game sold more than 2 million copies worldwide across PlayStation, Xbox, and PC in less than 10 days.
A quite astounding achievement for a new IP, let alone a single player game. When you consider it’s also an M rated game, and not exactly the most forgiving game for the casual player, it’s even more impressive.
I reviewed Sekiro for Bloody Disgusting, and absolutely adored it (though there were times during one of the last boss fights you’d have thought otherwise!), and gave it a full 5 skulls.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
