Vanillaware's acclaimed tactical strategy RPG is outpacing its last major title, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, at an impressive pace.
The Nintendo Switch version of Vanillaware and Atlus' RPG hangs on to the top spot, selling an additional 16,000-plus units.
The enhanced edition of the 2021 RPG was slated to launch on June 21st but now arrives a week earlier for all platforms.
Known leaker Midori notes that rumors of an Xbox release are also correct and alleges that the RPG will arrive on multiple platforms.
Unicorn Overlord's physical Japanese launch sales are more than twice as high as what developer Vanillaware's previous game, 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, managed.
The tactical RPG seems to have got off to a better start than Atlus had anticipated, with physical copies already having sold out.
The wrestling game has debuted on top of the weekly UK retail charts, while Vanillaware's Unicorn Overlord has entered at No. 7.
The tactical role-playing game is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, PS4 and Nintendo Switch and is Vanillaware's biggest game to date.
Atlus producer Akiyasu Yamamoto reveals that "per our agreement with Vanillaware, we are only releasing it on console."
Vanillaware's CEO George Kamitani reveals the studio had to dip into its own pocket to finish the tactical RPG's development.
Just like the base game, Persona 3 Reload's three waves of DLC will also be available to Game Pass subscribers at no additional cost- but only those subscribed to the Ultimate tier.
"The addition of the special attack, Theurgy, plus new dungeons will provide a new experience for players who have already completed the original game," says producer Kazuhisa Wada.
"From the beginning of the project, we had strongly considered the idea of remaking Episode Aigis," says producer Kazuhisa Wada.
The expansion will be the third wave of the remake's newly announced Expansion Pass, with the first two bringing new music and costumes.
As of today (March 5), the beloved role-playing series has collectively sold 22.6 million units worldwide, Atlus has announced.
A known leaker has revealed potential new details on the next mainline instalment in Atlus' Persona franchise.
Players embark on quests and explore dungeons during the day while building relationships and gathering "virtues" at night.
The presence of these references to Persona 3 FES content might indicate Atlus' plans to release DLC for Persona 3 Reload.
Vanillaware's RPG offers several options for combat, like swapping out allies, setting skill priorities and using the environment.
The $69.99 Digital Deluxe Edition includes the base game, three Mitama DLC for additional money and EXP, and two Demon Subquests.
