Elden Ring DLC Shadow of the Erdtree is off to a flying start — it sold five million copies in just three days.
"It has been a while since we named our Co-op Games of the Year, but it’s time to bring it back, baby. This year, your fearless Surviving Editor (I’m not quite dead yet!) and other members of the Co-op Crew each selected a personal co-op game of the year. On top of that, we all picked a "Beyond Co-op" game of the year as well. That’s twice the GOTY picks for the same low price (free)!" says Co-Optimus.
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "The nominees for Best Original Music Score of 2024 were once again a mix of entirely new soundtracks and updated rearrangements of old favourites. From the wonderful reorchestrations of Persona 3 Reload and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, to the entirely new original scores of Astro Bot, Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree, and The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, the top contenders of the year are unlikely to be much of a surprise to anyone, though as always some excellent scores missed the top five, and only one can take home the top prize."
VGChartz's Taneli Palola: "These days it takes something quite special to stand out from the crowd when it comes to the look and visual style of your game. Having the prettiest graphics is nice, but just having beautiful imagery simply isn't enough to make people take notice anymore. What matters is how, when, and why a game uses its visual features to draw out a specific reaction from the audience and create a tone & atmosphere that shows the player something truly unique. The following five 2024 titles used these assets to their fullest potential."
So many masochists!
All joking aside, those are really good numbers for DLC.

I rarely see soulslikes doing these type of numbers, there's folks that don't even play fromsoftwares games but they know about darksouls, elden ring etc. I don't like the combat in the games but I still like to see a dev doing good on their work keeping it original and not copying shhi, I ask someone about a certain soulslike they'll be like WHATS THAT?? 🤣🤣 other devs ought to see create ya own lane and your titles will stand out too but nope mfs still want to copy souls games
