It would appear that Astral Chain got off to a flying start after its launch last Friday; not only did it manage to grab first and second places in the UK and Japanese gaming charts respectively, but developer PlatinumGames has gone out of its way to thank players who have made it "such a success".

That thanks comes in the form of an exclusive art piece made by none other than PlatinumGames artist, Hajime Kimura. We're still playing the game every night ourselves and seeing its cast of characters like this is making us want to jump straight back into the Astral Plane for more action.

Astral Chain sells beyond expectations

Director of Astral Chain, Takahisa Taura, has revealed in a recent interview that Astral Chain has sold above expectations and thanks fans for their support.

Astral Chain gave Platinum Games their first UK number one when it released in 2019 and has continued to sell well ever since.

Taura also said that if Astral Chain were to sell well then sequels would be rather likely as he had a lot of ideas at his disposal on how to expand the game's world and lore.

Congratulations, Platinum!
 
Nintendo's financial report for the final quarter of 2019 has been officially released and it reveals lifetime sales for both hardware and software.

On the software side of things it has been revealed that Astral Chain's lifetime sales have already surpassed one million copies (both physical and digital).

It's worth noting that Platinum Games said that they would be open to sequels to Astral Chain if the first game sold well, which it definitely seems to have.


Well done, Platinum.
