Elden Ring has sold 12 MILLION copies world wide

Hope this puts enough money in their pockets to move on from this engine. Time for FromSoftware to truly become next gen.

Well deserved….

But I can already tell the discourse around this game is going to be insufferable..

All this GOAT talk

Give me a break.

Holy shyt.

Damn that's crazy! It surprised me how big Elden Ring got when it comes to word of mouth and mindshare. I was seeing gifs and memes about it everywhere online when that wasn't the case for past Souls games.

I’d rather a single player rpg-action style game with no mtx or loot boxes get the title than something else.

Shows the industry that good single player games will be king.

All the souls games are fully multiplayer games though. that's one of the major reasons for their longevity and why they don't have pause buttons.

RIP Aloy

The last game sold 20 mil and counting
20 mil
I have Elden Ring too but I'm too focused on Forbidden West more accessible and sometimes you're not in the mood to get mad you just want to play
Once the hype and word of mouth dies down ER will probably reach 20+ mil like Horizon 1 and Forbidden West will continue to have momentum because people will buy this game when they get a ps5 by default.
Once the difficulty kicks in Forbidden West will always be there

They aren’t sold as multiplayer experiences thats the difference. shyt, even getting co-op going is a challenge in these series. You gotta use consumable items, meet certain conditions, you get penalized with limited flask, and they make sure whatever you do in co-op is short and sweet by sending you back to your game once you kill a major enemy or in pvp the other person. You can’t even freely enter and exit dungeons with your partner(s)

Thats not the type of multiplayer other companies are gonna latch onto

I just beat HFW as I waited for From to fix some of the issues. Great game too. Going into this now. Aloy is going to be fine but isn't going to reach the numbers of last gen.

FROM doesn't view these games as strict single-player experiences, never have which is why they don't even put that pause mechanic there. they always show co-op or PVP in all their advertisement. the community has formed around that for all these games except for bloodborne. It's only a challenge to play multiplayer if you're new to the series but souls have been mainstream for a while now.
