‘Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice’ Has Shipped Nearly 4 Million Copies Worldwide as ‘Dark Souls’ Series Hits 25 Million
It’s a frontrunner for Game of the Year as it is, but it’s nice to see that From Software’s latest title has already been experienced by a healthily-sized audience, as latest sales figures for Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice show it has reached almost 4 million units shipped worldwide.
The financial report of From Software’s parent company Kadokawa revealed that 3.8 million copies of Sekiro have been sold in as of June 30, 2019, which covers the first three months after its March 22 launch. That’s a pretty impressive number for such a challenging singleplayer title, let alone a brand new IP.
In the same report, it was also revealed that From Software’s Dark Souls series has amassed a whopping 25 million units sold. Again this is quite remarkable as the previous figure before the launch of Dark Souls 3 was 10 million. Sales of that game, and the remastered version of the first game, are likely to have been instrumental in that additional 15 million copies since March 2016.
So From Software’s model is clearly doing well for it. The company’s next title, Elden Ring, has great sales potential as a result, and the fact it features a collaboration with Game of Thrones creator George R.R. Martin should only sweeten the pot.
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is out now on PS4, Xbox One, and PC.
Are you watching? Ishana Night Shyamalan has clearly been paying attention to her father, M. Night Shyamalan. Not only is she following in his footsteps as a filmmaker, but she’s also embracing a similar mystique surrounding her work.
The new trailer for her feature directorial debut, The Watchers, gives viewers a taste of what’s in store. AreYouWatching.com has launched with even more clues.
Visit the site to join the mysterious creatures that lurk in the Irish forest as you observe a shelter. From the time the sun sets at 7:30 PM until it rises at 5:55 AM, four strangers — played by Dakota Fanning, Georgina Campbell, Oliver Finnegan, and Olwen Fouere — can be seen trapped inside.
You’ll find several interactive items. Click on the gramophone to set the mood with some spooky music. Tap on the birdcage to hear an ominous message from the parrot inside: “I’m going out, try not to die.” Press on the TV to watch clips from a fake reality show called Lair of Love. And if you tap on the window during the daytime … they’ll tap back.
There are also Easter eggs hidden at specific times. We’ve discovered three: a disorienting shot of Fanning’s character’s car at 5:52 PM, a closer view of the captives at 11:11 PM, and a glimpse of monitors at 12:46 AM. Let us know if you find any more in the comments…
The Watchers opens in theaters on June 14 via New Line Cinema. Ishana Night Shyamalan writes and directs, based on the 2022 novel of the same name by A.M. Shine. M. Night Shyamalan produces.
