Notoriously difficult as it is, people certainly are suckers for punishment for the Dark Souls series. So much so, that developer From Software has announced that the series has now sold over 27 million units across the three entries. 10 million of that figure is due to Dark Souls III, according to publisher Bandai Namco.
And while it’s a few years old, to put things into perspective, the first two entries had sold 8.5 million copies back in 2015 across consoles and PC. This means that the series has shifted 18.5m copies since that time. This was probably helped by Dark Souls Remastered, which launched in May 2018 across all consoles and PC.
These figures obviously don’t include the precursor to the series in the PlayStation 3-exclusive Demon’s Souls, which has sold over a million copies since 2011.
From Software also took the opportunity to plug their upcoming game, Elden Ring, which is still in development for PC, Xbox One and PlayStation 4. And hey, while we’re at it, From Software’s most recently-released game, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, has sold over 3.8 million copies.
The DARK SOULS series has sold over 27 million units to date. We are incredibly grateful to every single one of our players. This success is owed to you.
We hope you continue to enjoy our games, and look forward to Elden Ring, the new Action RPG that's currently in development. pic.twitter.com/697rctd7wZ— FROMSOFTWARE (@fromsoftware_pr) May 19, 2020
