Run! It’s Five-O!
PlatinumGames’ dystopian anime adventureAstral Chainmight not have been at the top of many shopping lists when 2019 started, but succeeded in creating quite a buzz in the months up to its release, eventually having a successful launching and even making it to thetop of the UK Charts.
Speaking in a new interview with Famitsu, Game Director Takahisa Taura said that the team at PlatinumGames was very happy with the sales figures, which surpassed their initial expectations. Although the numbers themselves weren’t actually revealed, Astral Chainshifted almost 50,000 units in Japan alone within its first three weeks and, as word of mouth spread in the west, more and more players took a chance on the chaotic action game.
Although obviously this is no confirmation of anything, the financial success of the brand new IP might go some way toward guaranteeing a sequel, so fans should verify they should keep their Legions tethered and ready for action, just in case we get the opportunity to revisit The Ark in future.
