While FromSoftware is gearing up to release Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon on August 25 this year, we must not forget first paid extension Elden Ring: Eardtree’s Shadow.
Meanwhile Elden Ring sales continue to grow and publisher Bandai Namco said in its latest financial results that since its launch (February 2022) sold 20.5 million copies this RPG.
FromSoftware’s parent company, Kadokawa, has released its results for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023. It is mentioned on page 19 that The Elden Ring sparked ‘significant’ sales growth. However, in its forecast for net sales in the second quarter and beyond in the current fiscal year (ending March 31, 2024) he only mentions his mobile gamesArmored Core 6 and upcoming games from Spike Chunsoft.

Planned expansion Shadow of Erdtree has not been stated. However, it is classified as medium and long term plans“Kadokawa stated that “looks for opportunities to maximize profits by extending the life of its brand.” It follows that the extension will not be released until 04/01/2024. It has reportedly been in development since last April, which is just two months after the game hit the market.
The current sales figures are impressive, especially when compared to other games released at the same time. For comparison, for example Kirby and the Forgotten Landwhich first Nintendo gamewhich was released in March 2022 and became the best-selling game in the entire series, about 5.27 million copies sold. For even better context, the entire Dark Souls trilogy from FromSoftware (on which Elden Ring largely depends) a total of about 33 million units were sold.
Although Elden Ring sales dropThe just-mentioned Shadow of the Erdtree expansion could boost overall sales even further.
