Quite a few people had their expectations and predetermined conceptions of what a followup to Amnesia: The Dark Descent should be like. While articles, reviews and a lot of streamers were predominantly very positive, there was undoubtedly a group of players who did not appreciate the direction in which we took the game. The weeks following the release of Rebirth was a bit of a mixed bag when it comes to reactions. SPOILERS UPCOMING! Amnesia: Rebirth – Reactions This combined with future sales events as well as a bigger update that we’re currently working on (news will follow shortly) we feel certain that the project will turn profitable in the not too distant future. We’ve seen a recent increase in “chatter” about the game and it is receiving a lot of love and praise. However, sometime around mid february the sales really picked up again and we’re now back on a very similar trajectory as the one SOMA had.Īs of today we’ve sold more than a hundred thousand copies of Amnesia: Rebirth and we feel really optimistic about the future for the game. The daily sales in the beginning of 2021 were a bit lower than what SOMA had at the start of 2016 – and it stayed like that for a while. From that point onwards the game took on a similar sales trajectory as SOMA had, but during a pretty cluttered release period (with some big releases such as Cyberpunk 2077 in December for example) the sales went down a bit from there. The hype for Rebirth had built up, and as great reviews and wonderful “Let’s plays” started emerging just before the release, the game went to the top of Steam’s best seller list and stayed there for a few days. That day is by far the single best selling day in the studio’s history. Let’s start with the release date on the 20th of October last year. Now, looking to our latest game, Amnesia: Rebirth and how sales are going some 5 months after release. The project has generated revenue far greater than the investment but it’s the amazing reactions and feedback that we receive from our players that we cherish the most! Amnesia: Rebirth – Sales
The game even sold quite a lot more last year than it did the year before that, but that has probably a lot to do with the buzz surrounding our studio thanks to the Rebirth release.Īnyway, we are truly happy and grateful that so many seem to have taken SOMA to their hearts. Reaching the one million milestone once again shows that our games have a really long tail and the way we like to interpret that is as a seal of quality and that our games receive a strong push over time through word of mouth. There he mentions the fact that the game wasn’t really selling to its full potential but that we were hopeful that sales would continue growing over time. We passed the milestone some time ago but we just haven’t gotten around to announcing it until now.įor those of you who have been following our blog you might have read Thomas’ previous blog posts, such as the one made 6 months after the release of SOMA.
We’re of course delighted to announce that SOMA has sold more than 1 million copies on PC and quite a lot more if you combine it with sales on PS4 and XBOX One. It’s now been nearly 5 months since Rebirth was released and it’s high time we come to you with an update, don’t you think? But let’s start with an announcement that is even more overdue: SOMA – sold over 1 million copies on PC
