It's a stellar day for an R♏PG sales update: Dragon's Dogma 2 has soared past 2.5 million copies sold, while the stellar Unicorn Overlord has sold 500,000 copies worldwide since launch.

Capcom just revealed that, since launching just over a week ago, Dragoꦕn's Dogma 2 has sold 2.5 million copies worldwide on all platforms. In fact, this has brought the series' sales total to over 10 million, after the original Dragon's Dogma sold around 7.9 million copies.

that Unicorn Overlord has sold over 500,000 copies since it went on sale last month. This follows from Atlus hav🅘ing to apologize due to the lack of physical copies of Unicorn Overlord in Japan l🔥ast month, a solid indicator of just how well the new strategy RPG is being received by audiences. 

Both new RPGs have managed to amass a dedicated audience in a really short amount of time, which is impressive for both games, considering strategy RPGs are something of a niche, and the original Dragon's Dogma launched well over a decade ago in 2012. Even developers have been urging audiences to play the new games - Final Fantasy Tactics' director has cha🏅mpioned🧸 Unicorn Overlord, for one.

Capcom might already be looking to the future for its new game - a Dragon's D🔯og𝓀ma 2 survey just asked players how much they'd pay for DLC. Users could select between $10 and $50 for the DLC, which indicates that the DLC, if it does materialize, could be f𒅌ar bigger than just some simple new items.
