PREVIEW

Elden Ring Tops 28.6M Sales, Surpasses Dark Souls Series, and Announces Spin-Off. Elden Ring has sold over 28.6 million copies worldwide, surpassing the combined sales of the Dark Souls series before its release, Eurogamer reports. Publisher Bandai Namco announced the milestone last week, alongside revealing the upcoming spin-off, Elden Ring: Nightreign. The game has seen a significant boost, selling an additional 3.6 million copies since the release of the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion earlier this year. Before Elden Ring's release in February 2022, the Dark Souls series had sold 27 million copies combined, according to Niko Partners. The Dark Souls series has since reached 39 million sales, with Elden Ring's success likely driving interest in previous FromSoftware titles. Elden Ring now ranks as the 28th best-selling game of all time, outselling iconic titles like Super Mario Odyssey, GTA: San Andreas, and Pokémon Sword and Shield. The newly announced Elden Ring: Nightreign spin-off introduces an online co-op experience with roguelite elements, set in a parallel world. Players will face a unique three-day-and-night cycle in Nightreign, culminating in a showdown with the Nightlord. A network test for Nightreign is scheduled for February next year, with registration opening on January 10.
