A Plague Tale: Requiem passes 1 million sales – devs celebrate

A Plague Tale: Requiem has seen over 1 million players purchase and play the game. Developer Focus Entertainment announced the news on Twitterproudly celebrating the milestone while thanking the fans for their support.

This news continues a legacy of success for the series. A 2019 Plague Tale: Innocence climbed to No. 9 in the UK Best Seller Rankingswhat’s more surpassing 1 million total sales in just over a year. A plague story: Requiem has outgrown that very bar in just one month.

Why this is the case could be due to many factors. On the one hand, critical reception for A Plague Tale Requiem was overwhelmingly positive. Not only was it praised in our own glowing review, but the game also received a Metacrit score of 85. Add to that A Plague Tale; innocence established quality and the sequel may have had a lot of hype surrounding it.

On top of that, October was a month without much competition for A Plague Tale: Innocence. Scorn as the only other narrative-focused title was great, but it lacked the AAA appeal and established fanbase of A Plague Tale: Requiem. Overwatch 2 was a multiplayer shooter mired in controversy. Gotham Knights was a straw.

You can only imagine how good the Focus Entertainment team feels. Not only has he exceeded the bar that was imposed, but he has done it with great success. It’s always good to see these grand narrative adventures doing well in the current landscape, with massive battle royales and new live service games popping up all the time. We’re just wondering how long it will take for the game to top two million.

Speaking of narrative adventures, have you heard of a little game called God of War Ragnarok? We have a review live and ready for you here for your reading pleasure.
