Other noteworthy releases in that period include Atelier Ryza 3: Alchemist of the End and The Secret Key. Despite launching on the same day as Resident Evil 4 Remake, it sold over 290,000 units worldwide. Fatal Frame: Mask of the Lunar Eclipse, a re-release of the Nintendo Wii horror title, launched earlier in the month and sold 120,000 units.

The publisher reported $584.3 million in revenue, up 7.8 percent year-over-year. However, net profit was down by 12.5 percent over the same period at $230.5 million. It’s currently projecting $710 million in revenue and 10.4 million units shipped in the fiscal year 2023, perhaps with Rise of the Ronin launching next year for PS5. The company expects it to sell five million copies, though a release date hasn’t been confirmed.

Sons of the Forest

Instead of a full release, Endnight Games’ survival horror sandbox sequel is launching into Steam Early Access on February 23rd to add more features over time and get feedback from the community. There’s already tons to look forward to with this launch, whether it’s the map that’s four times larger than the first game, AI companions, revamped building mechanics, or all the little secrets. Even if it needs some more time to be fully “complete,” Sons of the Forest should be an incredible experience when it arrives later this month for PC.
