Less good than the previous episode, but the comparison is a little unfair
And it is not Nintendo which announces this, but Koei Tecmo, which publishes the game. In its latest report, the publisher thus indicates having sold 1 million copies of Hyrule Warriors: The Seal Chronicles since the game’s release on November 6. An honest score, which is mainly linked to the still limited fleet of the Nintendo Switch 2, while taking into account the fact that the title is only aimed at inveterate fans of the lore Zelda and to those who love musou-style games.
Because if we remember the scores of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Blightthis new episode necessarily pales in comparison. It had sold 4 million copies in about the same time, but the times were not the same. Released in 2020, the year when the video game industry recorded peaks thanks to Covid, this previous opus mainly benefited from a Switch release at a time when the console was already widely distributed, much more than the Switch 2 is at present. And that’s without counting the effect of curiosity for this Zelda who came out after Breath of the Wild. In short, the comparison may hurt Hyrule Warriors: The Seal Chroniclesit greatly needs to be put into perspective.
