Wow, that's pretty bad compared to the base game, considering it doesn't even cost as much.

Yeah, I don't think anybody expects the expansion to surpass the base game in sales.
But this DLC alone is already outselling most games sold this year.

Long live Elden Ring. Miyazaki and his team have created something very special.

I just hope they don't have crazy sale expectation for their next game.
I mean, if base game only sells like 5 millions, I think that should be OK for me.

They already released their "next game".

they never really do, if they wanted a slam dunk they'd be making elden ring 2 rn but they're moving back to a sekiro style focused experience. hell sote notwithstanding their last game was ac4 and there's maybe a quarter of the sales on that one

They already made their next game and released it.

Armored Core 6 sold like 3 millions in its first month IIRC.

Can't wait for the expac, love me Souls knightan but mecha fast boostan is where my true spirit lies.

true ac6 my bad, not my jam so not numbers

all the same, 3 million is no small number, but sote is poised to double it if not moreso in the near future. so i dont think they let sales goals limit their creative intent. personally looking forward to their next sekiro

I mean, it did take 2 years to release. Many people have moved on to other games. For those who casually enjoyed the game, the idea of coming back to a "hard" DLC that requires Mogh and Radahn to be defeated before you can access it can be daunting. I've seen several people complain that they are either in NG+ or are early NG and cannot access the DLC in a timely manner. I can understand, which such a large base game, why that may deter people from investing in this DLC upon release.

But if most of those 5M were consistent souls fans that have several playthroughs and other titles like this, the community is standing strong

AC6 is made by Yamamura, the director behind Sekiro too.

I expect AC6 expac to be announced next, and a new project. Miyazaki said something about traditional JRPG (turn-based) and me wanna.
