Has there been a widely successful brand new Triple A IP 3rd party game in the last few years?

[The Mad Titan]

Seems like those days are long gone


Dropping a couple Milly on a brand new triple A game, especially a new IP doesn't seem like it's worth the investment.

What changed?



What does this say about the industry or gamers? Or both?

elden ring literally came out last year

That’s what y’all wanted though. Out of touch boomers and failed film writers.

this game seemed like an obvious flop from the beggining

UE5 might be the reason most gamers on steam have low end rig's.
If they can't run the shyt they gonna refund it

BG3 just came out before it



Starfield was few weeks right after so that took most of the xbox gamers out of the equation


PS5 gamers were most likely waiting for AC6 and finishing up FF16 and jumping into BG3






tdlr: Bad optimization and came out the wrong time

Does Genshin Impact count?

Elden Ring was last year

Cyberpunk (new IP as far as video games go) was 2020.

There are successes, but they're definitely not as plentiful as they used to be. The problem is that EA, Take Two, and Activision just aren't developing and publishing games at the same volume they used to. When most third party publishers are barely even getting three AAA releases lit a year, there's not a whole lot of wiggle room for games to not hit, unfortunately.

Elden ring is as much a new IP as each release of a final fantasy game

People saying elden ring is wild.

If you want to be technical about it sure.


But bloodborne or sekiro fits the new IP better than elden ring

This game looked like Forspoken that would be accepted by the whites

 

[The Mad Titan]

Its literally a new IP

Oh I guess I should have ask what brand new IP not based heavily off a existing ip

Idk if Cyberpunk is wildly successful. I wouldn't be surprised not to see anything more from the cyberpunk universe after this expansion at all. Especially if it doesn't do numbers.

If you gotta add in like 5 qualifiers this ain’t really worthy of a discussion. Every game is based off something at this point
