Elden Ring: Nightreign Sets Sales Records Despite Cool Criticism From Gamers

From Software and Bandai Namco’s co-op action RPG Elden Ring: Nightreign has delivered impressive sales results, surpassing the 3.5 million unit sales mark in just four days after its release. What’s particularly notable is that the game sold out its first 2 million copies in less than 24 hours, which includes both digital and physical copies.

Despite initial criticism from players, especially regarding the mandatory three-player co-op mode, the developers have responded quickly to the feedback. From Software has already announced plans for extended support for the project, including future expansions and a promised two-player mode. In addition, the studio has adjusted the balance in a recent update, making the single-player experience more accessible to those who prefer to play alone.

These impressive sales figures confirm the continued popularity of the Elden Ring universe, despite the experimental approach to gameplay in this spin-off. Nightreign’s success demonstrates that fans are willing to support new formats within their favorite franchise, especially when developers listen to their feedback.
