FromSoftware’s Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice Sells 10 Million Copies

Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice has crossed the 10 million sales barrier, developer FromSoftware has announced.

Confirmation comes over four years after the ninja action game came out in March 2019 on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, courtesy of publisher Activision. A Google Stadia version came out a year later, in October 2020.

IGN’s Sekiro review returned a 9.5. “Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice is a stylish, focused stealth-action take on the FromSoftware formula that evolves in a different and refreshing direction,” we said. “It may be a bit easier than a Souls game, but it’s something amazing all its own.”

Sekiro sold over two million copies within 10 days of launch, with five million sold by July 2020. That figure has now doubled in the three years since.

News of a new sales milestone for Sekiro over three years after the game came out has sparked thoughts of a potential sequel. FromSoftware never released DLC for Sekiro. Could it now be working on Sekiro 2?

Since Sekiro launched, FromSoftware released monster hit Elden Ring in 2022, and Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon in 2023. It has yet to announce any new games, although Elden Ring DLC is on the horizon.
