Perhaps it is due to the fact of being related to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild or because it is a musou based on the popular Nintendo saga, but the truth is that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Cataclysm has been a most successful launch, as reported by the Japanese magazine Famitsu.
In just one weekend, since we remember that the title was put on sale on November 20, it has been achieved distribute a whopping 3 million units all over the world. A number that combines the copies distributed in the different markets and also the sales that have been produced in digital format.
It is likely that you will have to wait until Nintendo’s next financial report to know the exact figure of how many copies have been sold in total, but what is certain is that it has become Koei Tecmo’s most successful musou, in addition to being the fastest sold.
Without a doubt is a huge record for the company and for this genre that is not usually that popular or in demand in the West. The only thing that will have to see over time is whether this encourages the development of more Hyrule Warriors deliveries, but for now the next The Legend of Zelda that will see the light will be la secuela de Breath of the Wild.
