FromSoftware’s dark, punishing, and utterly captivating world continues its domination of the gaming world. Bandai Namco and FromSoftware have announced that two of their latest titles under the Elden Ring umbrella have crossed major sales milestones:
- Shadow of the Erdtree, the massive DLC expansion to the original Elden Ring, has officially surpassed 10 million copies sold worldwide
- Elden Ring: Nightreign, the co-op survival standalone spinoff, has cleared 5 million units globally less than three months since its May release

This adds to the already massive footprint of the Elden Ring franchise, which has sold over 30 million copies since its original launch in 2022 and racked up over 300 Game of the Year awards.
From the Lands Between to the Realm of Shadow
Shadow of the Erdtree took fans deep into the Realm of Shadow, following in Miquella’s footsteps to uncover long-buried secrets about Queen Marika, the Golden Order, and the unforgettable new villain Messmer the Impaler. With entirely new areas, bosses, and lore reveals, it gave players everything they hoped for—and then some.
Night Falls and the Hunt Begins
Released as a standalone multiplayer co-op action survival game, Elden Ring: Nightreign introduced a new roguelike structure to the universe. No two playthroughs are ever the same, with randomized encounters, large-scale boss fights reminiscent of the Dark Souls lineage, and an ever-changing, co-op-focused gameplay loop that’s kept players hooked.
What’s Next for the Tarnished?
It’s been a huge year for Elden Ring fans. Beyond the sales milestones, FromSoftware also announced:
- The upcoming Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, which bundles the base game, Shadow of the Erdtree, and additional cosmetics including new gear and Torrent customizations, and it’s coming to Nintendo Switch 2
- A live-action film adaptation from A24 with Alex Garland (Ex Machina, Annihilation) attached as director, which has fans both hyped and cautiously optimistic
With all this momentum, Elden Ring has officially become one of the defining modern gaming universes—dark, brutal, beautiful, and ever-expanding.
