Amazing numbers.
Well deserved,
Not their best game,
But is main stream casual that's what gave it a bigger audience,
Seems like it's well worth it. As BotW was THE big epic adventure game to get the second half of last decade, Elden Ring took that position for the first half of this decade. It's probably the one game from the current gen consoles that I absolutely want to play, and will get on Switch 2 eventually in the next few years whenever I end up going to next gen.
Looking at where From were coming from, 30 million units sold of a new IP in 3 years is absolutely stunning!
I've never played any From Software game (please be gentle!), but I just love reading news like this.
From what I've gathered from fans though:
If they'd now only begin to polish their games technically like some other S class studios out there, then their games would even take the ultimate crown/throne of praise.
Otogi 1-2 are on Xbox BC list and still excellent games. Metal Wolf Chaos is on PS4,PC. Armored Core series is fantastic. 4A is the best one but for modern systems ACVI Is still solid.
