Bandai Namco just revealed that the Dark Souls franchise has sold over 8 million copies worldwide. According to the publisher, 60% of those sales are on consoles and 40% are on PC. Considering that Dark Souls III was unveiled at Microsoft’s E3 press conference, one can expect the franchise to enter the double digits when the game releases on Xbox One and PC early next year.
Dark Souls is developed by acclaimed Japanese developer From Software and directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki. The series is known for its trademark sword and sorcery combat and rewarding action RPG gameplay. In Dark Souls III, players will travel across a wide variety of locations in an interconnected world of unrelenting challenge and deep RPG gameplay as they search for a way to survive the coming apocalypse.
