Lords of the Fallen hits 1m sales

Action RPG Lords of the Fallen has sold more than one million copies so far.

That's according to publisher CI Games, which said that the commercial milestone was hit within ten days of release.

Lords of the Fallen – not to be confused with the 2014 game of the same name from the same publisher – was released on October 13th. The title was developed by Hexworks. 

By comparison the original Lords of the Fallen – the one released in 2014, not 2023 – sold 900,000 units in its first four months on sale. 

“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 triple-A pipeline of games in the years ahead,” CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski said.

“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.”

Hexworks' head of studio Saul Gascon added: "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. 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."
