Elden Ring Surpasses 30 Million Sales; Spin-off 'Nightreign' Launches Soon
  • From Software has announced that Elden Ring has surpassed 30 million copies sold globally since its launch in February 2022.

  • In a remarkable sales surge, the game sold an additional 1.4 million copies in just four months, from December 2024 to April 2025.

  • The game's success has been bolstered by its acclaimed expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, which is recognized as the highest-rated DLC of all time according to Metacritic.

  • While Nightreign aims to provide a unique experience, it is unlikely to replicate the groundbreaking success of Elden Ring, which captivated players upon its initial release.

  • In addition to its main title, a spin-off cooperative game titled Elden Ring Nightreign is set to launch on May 30, 2025, featuring a multiplayer roguelike format.

  • The milestone was celebrated on social media, with a heartfelt message to fans stating, 'Thank you, 30 million Tarnished,' and the figure was confirmed on April 29, 2025.

  • Released in June 2023, Shadow of the Erdtree introduced new story content and quickly sold five million copies within three days.

  • Both Elden Ring and its DLC have received critical acclaim, successfully adapting the challenging gameplay of the Dark Souls series into an open-world format.

  • Despite its overwhelming success, From Software has confirmed that there are currently no plans for a direct sequel to Elden Ring, with Shadow of the Erdtree being its only DLC.

  • Looking ahead, Elden Ring's sales are expected to rise further with its upcoming release on the Nintendo Switch 2, announced earlier this month.

  • Nightreign will offer a fast-paced co-op action experience, where players must survive three nights in a battle royale-style gameplay.

  • Importantly, players do not need to have played Elden Ring to enjoy Nightreign, as it introduces its own classes and skills.
