In a recent earnings report for Q3 2024, which ended in December, FromSoftware’s parent company Kadokawa revealed that Armored Core 6 sales exceeded company expectations. Elden Ring also reportedly contributed to a better performance in their gaming subsidiaries than they expected.
The report was published online early this morning. It breaks down all of Kadokawa Group’s financials from October to December 2023, as well as how those financials compare to years prior. While most of the report was not related to gaming, the company did highlight FromSoftware’s contributions to their profits.
While sales were reportedly lower for the company than 2022, Armored Core 6 “contributed beyond expectations” for them. In fact, it helped their gaming segment to be one of their most profitable areas in the last quarter. Elden Ring also contributed significantly as sales for the game continued to roll in, though those numbers were markedly smaller than they were in 2022 following the game’s release.
It’s great to hear that Armored Core 6 sales were positive for the company. Our team at MP1st loved the game, and in our review we gave it an 8.5/10 and said, “solid combat mechanics and endless customization options pair nicely with the story to produce a linear action game that caters to its audience.” It’s nice to see that opinion widely reflected in sales.
Kadokawa Group expects continued profits from their gaming sector as a result of the upcoming Elden Ring DLC. We’ll be sure to let readers know as soon as we have more details on that.
