Although our newsbit on Ascaron's expansion covers this, it's worth highlighting that their action/RPG 'Sacred' has sold 1.6 million copies worldwide - even more impressive considering the modest US sales. Here's a snip from the press release we received:A prime example of ASCARON's domestic and international success so far is the title "Sacred". In 2004, the role-playing game was the top-selling title in Germany, Italy, Spain, France, Poland and Russia, and a top 5 hit in many other countries. The world-wide sales figures of Sacred have reached 1.6 million so far. Sacred has become one of the most successful German games ever published in the USA where it was awarded "Best Role Playing Game of the Year" by PC Gamer magazine. Sacred has sold more than 200,000 units in the USA - a figure that has never before been achieved by a game developed within Germany. |
