Lord of the Unicorns Sales have now reached their peak 1 million copies since its release in early March.
Vanillaware's tactical RPG has been sold 500,000 copies in its first month, and its momentum has only grown since then. At this point, it remains one console game for Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Nintendo Switch.
“THE Lord of the Unicorns “The team expresses its deepest gratitude for the overwhelming support received from players,” Atlus wrote in a press release.
As Lord of the Unicorns fits with Vanillaware's history and Atlus' 2024
For comparison, the last two Vanillaware games, Dragon Crown AND 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, both took several years (and versions on multiple systems) to sell 1 million copies. This makes Unicorn the fastest-selling Vanillaware title in recent history to reach this milestone.
When it came out in March, Lord of the Unicorns was surrounded by other games, including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. There were so many high-profile releases in early 2024 that made its performance in April so notable.
But overall, Atlus (and its parent company Sega) have had a solid output this year. Reload Person 3 became Atlus best-selling title always, and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance AND Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth they have had excellent commercial performances.
