Hold onto your seats, folks, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Elden Ring's universally acclaimed 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Shadow of the Erdtree DLC that everybody has been ravဣing about for weeks sold really well.

As revealed in Elden Ring publisher 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Bandai Namco's , Shadow of the Erdtree boosted the company's digital operating profit in its entertainment sector by 553% year-over-year, enough to prompt this ecstatic, ov𝔉er-the-top reaction in the document: "On the business side, Elden Ring Shadow of the Erdtree, the major downloadable content of the home console game Elden Ring, was a hit, contributing to the operating results in the Digital Business."

Elsewhere in the results summary, Bandai Namco showed a 24.8% incre🐽ase in net sales and a 56.3% rise in profit for the thꦍree months that ended on June 30, 2024. It's no coincidence that Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree released about a week prior on June 21.

Of course, none of this is a surprise. Shadow of the Erdtree was an instant success at launch, beating giant full-game releases like ജFinal Fantasy 7 Rebirth in ratings and selling five million units in its 🎉first three days. The DLC's success rivals some of the biggest DLC releases of all time, including 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Cyberpunk 2077: Phantom Liberty and The Witcher 3: Blood and Wine. As soon as it became the highest rated DLC for an RPG ever, CDPR even congratulated Bandai Namco with some awesome custoꦏm art of Geralt in Elden Ring.

In a different type of numbers game, this Elden Ring sicko takes the limiters off NG+ scaling, cranks Shadow of the Erdtree to NG+ 1,000 and still no-hits a 500,000-HP Messmer.
