This achievement should not be underestimated because it is not a AAA game put together under a leading publisher.

One More Level, 3D Realms, Slipgate Ironworks, and All in! Games (four studios behind one game, a division of labor usually seen with more prominent publishers) and the publisher, 505 Games, announced on Twitter that Ghostrunner, which was released on October 27, 2020, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC (Steam, GOG, Humble Store, Epic Games Store), and on September 28, 2021 for PlayStation 5 and Xbox Series, has sold over two and a half million copies.

No wonder a sequel is in the works. We recently summarized what Ghostrunner II is all about: “Blood will run in the highly anticipated hardcore first-person perspective slasher set one year after the events of Ghostrunner. Adventure through a post-apocalyptic cyberpunk future after the fall of the Keymaster, a tyrant who ruled over Dharma Tower, humanity’s last refuge. Jack is back to take on the violent AI cult assembled outside Dharma Tower and shape the future of humanity. It features incredible katana combat mechanics, a deeper exploration of the world beyond Dharma Tower, nonlinear levels with complex motorbike sections, exciting new modes, and all the action you love about Ghostrunner. Plus, boss fights are more interactive, allowing players to choose how to survive battles against the most formidable opponents.

Ghostrunner II introduces new skills, allowing players to be more creative and take on even the most demanding encounters with greater accessibility. However, enemies in Ghostrunner II behave uniquely dependent on the skills used against them, providing a fresh challenge with each encounter. The player progression system has been completely redone, providing opportunities to experiment and customize gameplay. Master the Cybervoid if you hope to survive. Take on challenging new enemies as you traverse interactive environments, including exploding barrels, destructible walls, helpful, neutral entities, and countless improvements that keep combat exciting and fresh. Can’t get enough? Dive even deeper into the lore and plot with the new dialogue system. Save humanity in style as you decimate your opponents while listening to the captivating synthwave soundtrack featuring new music from Daniel Deluxe, We Are Magonia, Gost, Dan Terminus, and Arek Reikowski.”

Ghostrunner II will be released on October 26 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC (Steam, GOG, Epic Games Store). It would not be surprising if this game achieves the same excellent result. Congratulations!
