Elden Ring is Making a Fortune for the Publisher
Elden Ring continues to sell millions of copies, which has provided Bandai Namco with excellent financial results for the start of the new fiscal year.
By the end of June, more than 16.6 million copies of Elden Ring have already been delivered to stores and (digitally) to buyers. Bandai Namco boasted of this success in a report summarizing the first quarter of the new fiscal year, the period from April 1 to June 30 (via Gamebiz.jp). During these three months alone, the hit FromSoftware improved its result by 3.2 million copies.
Elden Ring was one of the reasons behind Bandai Namco's highly successful fiscal quarter (the company earned 21.5% more revenue than in a similar period a year ago)..
At this rate, it may turn out that the adventure in The Lands Between really will turn out to be a bigger success thanthe entire Dark Souls series combined. Especially if we get the still unannounced DLCs, which seems very likely given the success of Elden Ring.
For now, neither FromSoftware nor Bandai Namco have confirmed any of the rumors about the DLCs. Instead, Hidetaka Miyazaki revealed that the Japanese studio is finishing work on its next project. Will it be another soulslike, return of the Armored Core series or an entirely new brand? We can only hope to find out soon.
