God of War Laufey is the next mainline chapter in Santa Monica Studio's series.
First gameplay and story details of the newly announced PS5 action adventure:
God told me I couldn't play video games right now.
I should go home and sleep, then hurry up and get to work.
But my animal instincts tell me I really want to play video games.
Goddess of Victory: Nikke has generated 1.3 billion dollars in revenue in only 3.5 years since launching in November 2022.
This matches the profit from selling around 32 million copies of a $70 AAA game after platform fees, marketing, and production costs.
The game has over 20 million downloads worldwide:
>Japan accounting for 48.3% of revenue
>South Korea 19%
>United States 17.3%.
This is a great example of how the live-service gacha model can outscale traditional boxed games in revenue
For context, even massive single-player hits like The Last of Us Part II or recent Call of Duty campaigns rarely clear that kind of sustained net impact without DLC/microtransactions of their own
