‘Elden Ring’ Sales Top 12 Million; Potential IP Expansion Beyond Games
So, in case you were just wondering how From Software is doing with Elden Ring, the developer has released some handy stats for the Soulslike’s sales. As you might expect, it’s been a smash hit.
According to From Software, total worldwide shipments and digital sales for Elden Ring have surpassed 12 million units across PC, PlayStation and Xbox. In their native Japan, the game has sold over one million units.
“It’s astonishing to see just how many people have been playing Elden Ring,” says Elden Ring Director and From Software President Hidetaka Miyazaki. “I’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks on behalf of the entire development team. We hope players enjoy a high level of freedom when adventuring through its vast world, exploring its many secrets and facing up to its many threats.”
So of course, you’re probably wondering if the game will be receiving any postlaunch content. While the message from the developer doesn’t necessarily indicate that DLC is coming (let’s be honest: it will), the announcement teases that Elden Ring as an IP will be “expanding beyond the realm of games”. Whether this means a film adaptation or TV series remains to be seen.
Elden Ring is out now on Steam, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One and the Xbox Series. And check out Neil’s long-awaited review of the game.
Xbox owners feeling left out over SFB Games’ throwback Survival Horror title Crow Country coming to Steam and PlayStation? Never fear, as the developer has secured an Xbox Series release via the Microsoft Store, which will launch on May 9th as the other platforms. And to celebrate, Xbox owners also get a new trailer announcing Crow Country coming to the platform alongside the PlayStation 5 and PC.
In this brand new horror inspired by classics from the original PlayStation, Crow Country takes place in the year 1990. It’s been two years since the mysterious disappearance of Edward Crow and the abrupt closure of his theme park, the eponymous Crow Country. You are Mara Forest, and you’re searching for some answers from Crow. You’ll need to venture deep into the abandoned Crow Country theme park and uncover the secrets behind its Crow’s sudden disappearance.
Crow Country will see you immerse yourself in a richly atmospheric, deeply sinister world evocative of late 90s pre-rendered graphics. You’ll need to make every bullet count as you manage limited resources and try to survive against the creatures that stalk the eerily tranquil grounds of the amusement park.
Monsters aren’t your only problem, however. Crow Country hides many secrets behind its locked gates, requiring you to overcome the gauntlet of puzzles and challenges that stand between you and the truth. And for those who want to immerse themselves in the atmosphere without having to battle against the inhabitants of the park, there’s the “Exploration Mode”, which switches off the combat to focus entirely on solving the mystery and exploration.
Crow Country will be available for $19.99 USD. You can also check out the demo on Steam.
