Even with Spider-Man 2 in the spotlight, Lords of the Fallen has soared past 1 million sales
Spider-Man 2 clearly hasn't sucked all the air out of the proverbial October room when it comes to big releases. Lords of the Falen, a smaller game by comparison, managed to sell 1 million units in under ten days, 54% of which were made on consoles.
Though the comparison seems a little pointless at this point, it nonetheless took the original Lords of the Fallen (from 2014) seven months to reach 900,000 sales.
The modern Lords of the Fallen is a visual benchmark for Unreal Engine 5, with interesting tweaks to the Souls-like genre like the dual worlds mechanic. Though its general reception was better than the original, the overall verdict was a little mixed, with many reviews, including our own, lamenting its erratic difficulty spikes and performance problems.
