Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc and FromSoftware have said in a joint release that fantasy game Elden Ring has become their biggest selling title with 23 million copies sold. In comparison to other intellectual property from Bandai Namco and From Software, Dark Soul’s entire franchise sold 33.4 million units in total. However, some credit needs to be given to the precursor to this newest entrant in the Souls-like series, as it laid the foundation for Elden Ring to be a global success story for both companies. The title’s spectacular sales were revealed off the back of the Shadow of the Erdrtree downloadable content (DLC) announcement to fans this week via X: In the Land of Shadow, Miquella awaits the return of his promised Lord.

What is Elden Ring? The action role-playing game is set in the Lands Between, a varied expanse ruled over by Demi-Gods who thirst for the shattered fragments of the Elden Ring, a relic that brings order and control. The gameplay is iconic of the Dark Souls and Bloodborne titles that had critical acclaim across multiple consoles and PC.
