FromSoftware and Bandai Namco have announced that the Dark Souls series as a whole has managed to surpass 27 million units sold worldwide, with 2 million more copies sold since their next game, Elden Ring, was announced back in June 2019.
The DARK SOULS series has sold over 27 million units to date. We are incredibly grateful to every single one of our players. This success is owed to you.
We hope you continue to enjoy our games, and look forward to Elden Ring, the new Action RPG that's currently in development. pic.twitter.com/697rctd7wZ— FROMSOFTWARE (@fromsoftware_pr) May 19, 2020
The Dark Souls series started back in 2011 as a follow-up to the game Demon’s Souls. From then, Dark Souls 2 was released in 2014, followed by Dark Souls 3 in 2016. There’s also the remaster of Dark Souls 1, which launched in 2018, and Dark Souls 2: Scholar of the First Sin, which brought the game to PS4 and Xbox One.
The most popular game is by far Dark Souls 3 however, with Bandai Namco announcing that the game has sold over 10 million copies alone. For a series that’s been going for a decade, 27 million copies sold is an impressive feat, and a testament to how popular Dark Souls has become. That said, the sales figure will pale in comparison to the overall amount of recorded deaths across the series.
