Digimon World: Next Order has sold over one million copies, Bandai Namco revealed today. That’s a number based on worldwide sales across all platforms combined.
Digimon World: Next Order originally released on the PS Vita. Bandai Namco eventually brought it to Switch as the International Edition in 2023. This version included a beginner difficulty and the ability to run.
Here’s some information about the game:
System: Switch
Release date: October 24, 2024
Developer: Square Enix / Xeen
Publisher: Square Enix
Square Enix’s SaGa franchise has seen quite the return over the last few years. With almost as many entries as the mainline Final Fantasy games, the series has had a lot of time to define itself – resulting in a focus on non-linearity, exploration, and a unique take on character advancement and customization that in the modern age is still surprisingly addictive and proves that the SaGa renaissance is in full swing. Heading in to a game I first experienced on Switch when it was first ported to the west in 2017, I was incredibly excited to return to the world of Avalon in beautiful 3D with Romancing SaGa 2: Revenge of the Seven.

October 22: Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown won’t be getting a sequel as despite its critical success, from a sales standpoint, the game apparently didn’t meet expectations.
Origami Media reported on its findings today. Supposedly, while the team was interested in working on a sequel, Ubisoft wasn’t on board. It ultimately comes down to sales. Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown didn’t sell what Ubisoft had hoped, and also felt that a new entry would impact the performance of the original game.
Here’s a translation of what Origami Media shared:

Battle Crush is an online action brawler supporting 30 players. Following its Early Access launch just a few months ago, feedback was mixed. Now a new report that NCSoft has decided to move on from the title entirely. Expect it to be removed from the eShop at some point in the future.
