Game News Elden Ring: From Software’s game is still a hit across the Atlantic!
Elden Ring has completely shattered the records for a Form Software game. The Dark Souls had a nice notoriety, gained over the years, but the latest production reached a much wider audience.
Elden Ring still on top in the United States
With more than 13 million copies sold in one month since the release on February 25, Elden Ring has far exceeded expectations from From Software. Between the discovery of every corner of the Entre-Terre, the exploration of the lore well hidden everywhere, the mods, the speedruns, and the many theories, the title has been able to remain in the news. But does it still attract new players, the craze for the release having passed? Well, in the absence of major releases in the spring, the answer is very largely yes, at least in the US.
In May, Elden Ring simply rose #1 in the top 50 by value sales according to the latest report from NPD Group, ahead of LEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga and Nintendo Switch Sports. To go further, Elden Ring would even the best-selling game in the United States in the last 12 months (end of May), ahead of Call of Duty: Vanguard, which was several months ahead of schedule. However, it is extremely rare that the Activision license is not at the top of this ranking over a year, which testifies to the enormous popularity of Elden Ring.
A sluggish market
However, according to analsyte Mat Piscatella, the market clearly needs something new. It’s simple, in May, only Evil Dead: The Game managed to break into the top 50 (4th). In the top 20, we even note the return of Skyrim, and we cannot say that the title is recent.
Finally, the report indicates that the turnover related to expenditure in terms of games, consoles and accessories fell 19% ($3.7 billion)a total that had not been so low since February 2020. In question: the pandemic, which has postponed the release of many titles, and which greatly complicated the task of new generation console manufacturers. Even the Nintendo Switch, which resisted for a very long time, risk of facing production problemsanticipated in Nintendo’s annual financial statement.
