Lords of the Fallen, the new Soulslike from Hexworks and CI Games, has sold 1m copies in 10 days.

The game was released on 13th October across PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X/S.

To compare, Neowiz's puppet Soulslike Lies of P reached 1m sales in under a month across the same platforms, though is additionally available on Xbox Game Pass (undercutting that sales figure).

CI Games CEO Marek Tyminski remarked Lords of the Fallen is the first in the publisher's planned AAA pipeline of games.

"Lords of the Fallen is the most important and ambitious game we've developed in our 20-year history, and the first in our new planned AAA pipeline of games in the years ahead," said Marek Tyminski, CEO, CI Games. "To see this fresh and innovative take on the action-RPG achieve one million sales in just 10 days has been humbling for everybody at Hexworks and CI Games."

"Thank you to all the Lampbearers out there who have embarked on their journeys across Mournstead, fearlessly traversing the lands of the living and the dead," added Saul Gascon, head of studio at Hexworks. "We're incredibly grateful to the passionate Lords of the Fallen community for their invaluable feedback and ongoing support. It's their unwavering dedication that has made this success possible, and we couldn't be prouder to share it with them."

On its release, Lords of the Fallen was criticised for its performance across both PC and consoles, although frequent updates have improved the experience since launch. Just today a new update was released on PC to alter its New Game Plus mode.

The game was also compared unfavourably to FromSoftware's Dark Souls in our Eurogamer Lords of the Fallen review: "At its core, then, Lords of the Fallen is a perfectly acceptable Soulslike that's often fun to play and offers the same satisfaction at overcoming adversity...But that's testament to FromSoft's ingenuity more than Hexworks copying its homework."
