On the night of Thursday to last Friday, we were able to attend two simultaneous conferences, the one on the 10 years of Dragon’s Dogma and that on the 25 years of Final Fantasy VII Remake, with several key announcements. What a little boost the hype around these two licenses, which was seen directly on the Steam platform, where Dragon’s Dogma and Final Fantasy VII Remake have achieved very good results.
Renewed interest in Dragon’s Dogma
And yes, Dragon’s Dogma hasn’t been entitled to any news lately, but the announcement of a Dragon’s Dogma 2 allowed the title to achieve its best performance since its release in 2016 on the Valve platform.
Its peak concurrent players stood at 27,368 when it launched, but it has since come down significantly. However, it peaked again at 6,495 players in recent days, which is its best result since 2016. Which shows that there is enthusiasm around the title, which is still celebrating its tenth anniversary. This bodes well for the rest of Capcom’s game, of which nothing is known at the moment.
Cloud was expected on Steam
On the side of Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade, success is also at the rendezvous. The game has been out for over two years on PS4, and for a year on the Epic Games Store, but many fans have been waiting for its release on Steam.
Thereby, Final Fantasy VII Remake realized the second highest concurrent player peak on Steam for a single player game Final Fantasywith 13,803 people at stake. It is only surpassed by Final Fantasy XV, with nearly 30,000 people at the same time. For the week ending June 19, Final Fantasy VII Remake thus rises to the second place of the best-selling products/games on Steam.
Again, Square Enix can rub their hands and hope for the same success with Final Fantasy VII Rebirth.
