Lords of the Fallen, which released to critical and fan acclaim on October 13th, 2023, has sold over 1 million units already. The action-RPG souls-like is now available on the PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S and features a unique dual-realm mechanic which critics and fans-alike have praised. We enjoyed our time with Lords of the Fallen, stating, “While not without its issues, Lords of the Fallen is an entertaining game with many great action RPG elements and challenging but satisfying gameplay.” You can check out the full press release regarding this sales milestone below:
Monday, 23rd October 2023 – CI Games has confirmed that sales of Lords of the Fallen, developed by its internal studio HEXWORKS, have exceeded one million units. The seven-figure milestone has been reached only ten days after the action-RPG launched on PC, PlayStation®5, and Xbox Series X|S.
Set across the dark-fantasy land of Mournstead, Lords of the Fallen features a unique dual-realm mechanic that allows players to seamlessly transition between the brutal and unforgiving world of the living and the nightmarish world of the dead, as they battle powerful monsters and demons in a holy crusade to overcome a once-vanquished god.
“Lords of the Fallen is the most important and ambitious game we’ve developed in our 20-year history, and the first in our new planned AAA pipeline of games in the years ahead,” said Marek Tyminski, CEO, CI Games. “To see this fresh and innovative take on the action-RPG achieve one million sales in just 10 days has been humbling for everybody at HEXWORKS and CI Games.”
“Thank you to all the Lampbearers out there who have embarked on their journeys across Mournstead, fearlessly traversing the lands of the living and the dead,” said Saul Gascon, Head of Studio at HEXWORKS. “We’re incredibly grateful to the passionate Lords of the Fallen community for their invaluable feedback and ongoing support. It’s their unwavering dedication that has made this success possible, and we couldn’t be prouder to share it with them.”
Since the launch of Lords of the Fallen, HEXWORKS has diligently worked with partners and the game’s community to deliver a series of patches that improves performance and introduces new gameplay mechanics, including an overhauled New Game Plus mode and – as of this evening – crossplay between PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series X|S. Crossplay between the consoles and PC platforms will be reactivated as part of a further expansive patch on Thursday.
