In a difficult context for the video game industry, Warhammer 40.000 : Space Marine 2 surprised the market with more than 4.5 million players one month after its release.
In the gloomy period that video games are experiencing, there is an empire that is not experiencing crisis. Released at the beginning of September, Warhammer 40.000: Space Marine 2, taken from the famous board game license, has exceeded 4.5 million unique players, its French publisher Focus (Pullup Entertainment group) announced on Wednesday. This title had already crossed the 2 million player mark just a few days after it went on sale. These results are particularly satisfactory for the publisher, especially in a context where many heavyweights in the industry are experiencing lackluster starts for their latest blockbusters.
« We prefer to talk about players and not sales », Comments Geoffroy Sardin, Deputy Managing Director of Pullup Entertainment. “ With the granularity of the distribution channels, we actually had more sales than that 4.5 million figure. What we also see is robust activity several weeks after launch.”
