#Bioware games sales numbers Patch#
So long as loot boxes stay away.Īnthem’s next patch is next week with even more fixes. This is never going to be the kind of monster that Apex Legends is/is becoming, but it’s a solid start all the same, and post-launch monetization can continue to grow and evolve over time in ways that work for both players and EA, theoretically, at least. Initial sales seem to be solid enough to warrant both BioWare continuing to invest in the game and EA letting them. Overall these numbers give me more confidence about Anthem rather than less.
Hell, even an Anthem battle pass might not be the worst idea in the world, as I feel like that concept could work in the loot shooter genre, even though it’s never been tried before. If the store expands, if new javelins themselves start being sold, that could increase post-launch revenue. A tiny amount of armor sets and materials. But right now there’s just very, very little in the store. And the more engaged the playerbase is, the more microtransactions they’ll purchase. It also brought the total sales of the Dark Souls. By May 2020, Bandai and FromSoftware announced that the game had sold over 10 million copies worldwide, making it the best-selling game in the entire franchise. It goes to show how far a huge playerbase can go in a F2P game, and how much revenue storefronts in BR games can generate.Īnthem’s goal is going to be to continue to improve the game to continue to sell box (or digital) copies for an up-front cost. According to IGN, Dark Souls 3 was Bandai's fastest-selling game ever, with over 3 million copies sold within its first two months. If we’re comparing in-game purchases alone, that’s $93 million for Apex compared to $3.5 million for Anthem. Anthem is not making paid DLC or expansions like Destiny, so it has to rely entirely on this other stuff, other stuff which does…not seem to be selling all that well. New armor sets and cosmetics, possibly entirely new javelins to come. Why? Because the implication here is that Anthem’s microtransactions are not particularly attractive, even though the entire monetization model for the game post-launch is based on those kinds of microtransactions.
