‘Elden Ring’ Has Now Sold More Than 13 Million Copies
FromSoftware‘s Elden Ring has now sold more than 13 million copies since its launch in February. According to Bandai Namco‘s latest financial report, the open-world action RPG has managed to sell a staggering 13.4 million copies over the past three months. Even more incredible is the fact that the title sold over 12 million of those copies within March alone. Unsurprisingly, the Japanese entertainment giant is now hoping to expand on the franchise, expressing its intention to create more content based around Elden Ring, which boasts a fantastical world created by none other than Game of Thrones author George R. R. Martin himself. While no concrete projects have been announced just yet, the sentiment echoes that of FromSoftware’s back in mid-March when the studio published a ...
HHW Gaming: ‘Street Fighter’ Fans React To The News Fei Long Allegedly Being Removed From Future Games
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: Capcom / Ultra Street Fighter IV Is Fei Long’s run in Street Fighter coming to an end? That might be the unfortunate case. Fei Long, a character that obviously gets his inspiration from the iconic martial arts movie star Bruce Lee, quickly became a favorite among fighting game fans when he was first introduced in Super Street Fighter II. Nintendo Life reports that Fei Long’s time as a playable character in the Street Fighter game has ended. Like Bruce Lee, Fei Long was a martial artist and action star and was Capcom’s tribute to the late actor, but apparently, the Lee family has done a 360 when it comes to seeing non-serious depictions of Bruce Lee. Street Fighter V composer Daniel Lindholm revealed during a YouTube Q&A that “comedic interpretat...
HHW Gaming: Sorry PS4 & Xbox One Owners, You Need A PS5 or Xbox Series X To Play ‘Gotham Knights’
HipHopWired Featured Video CLOSE Source: WB Games / Gotham Knights It looks like video game studios are slowly transitioning away from the PS4 and Xbox One, and we think that is a good idea. Gotham Knights will be the next big video game that only next-generation console owners will be able to enjoy. Tuesday (May.10), Warner Bros. Interactive unveiled a new gameplay demo of its highly anticipated game Gotham Knights, which also came with some disheartening news. The studio announced the game would no longer be coming to last-generation systems. That is a complete 360 from original news when Gotham Knights was first announced in 2020 when Warner Bros. Interactive said the game would be coming to the PS4 and Xbox One. [embedded content] As for the reasoning for the decision, the studio said ...
FIFA and EA End Their Decades-Long Partnership
FIFA and Electronic Arts are ending their partnership after almost three decades of one of the most successful and noteworthy deals in sports. After many months of negotiations, FIFA and EA were unable to arrive at a decision that would continue to extend a partnership that has long bridged the world of football with gaming. The current deal will end after next summer’s Women’s World Cup, however, it was initially supposed to end after this year’s Qatar World Cup. Starting in 2023, FIFA gamers will instead see a new branding for the series, EA Sports FC. The new affiliation promises not to change the core aspects of the game, with many of the world’s famous football stars and clubs will still be playable due to a separate licensing deal. However, specific FIFA-controlled events including t...

Sony Believes It’ll Have to Slash Game Budgets In Order to Compete With Xbox Game Pass
Despite launching its very own games subscription service in the form of a revamped PlayStation Plus program to compete against Microsoft‘s widely popular Xbox Game Pass, many have noted that Sony will not be offering AAA titles on day one, unlike its competitor. In light of this, the Japanese gaming giant has now responded by revealing that it would have to slash budgets for AAA games if it were to offer them on PlayStation Plus at launch. Speaking to investors during a recent call, Sony’s CFO Hiroki Totoki seemingly questioned the viability of Microsoft’s subscription-based model and said that it would not make financial sense for PlayStation to adopt the same strategy. “I will refrain from making comments on the competitors’ strategy,” Totoki remarked. “Our current thinking is to have d...
Nintendo Reports Drop in Switch Sales Due to Global Chip Shortage
Following the close of its fiscal year on March 31, Nintendo has reported a slight decrease in hardware sales. While the company met its sales predictions for the Nintendo Switch, shipping out a little over 23 million units, it has revised that number from an original estimate of over 25 million units. Although the Switch is Nintendo’s most popular piece of hardware, the past fiscal year’s sales marked a 20% drop from the previous year. To date, the company has still sold more Switch units than the Wii. Sales overall for the year clocked in at $13 billion USD, down from $13.48 million USD the year prior. The decline can be attributed to the global semiconductor shortage, as well as shipping delays due to the pandemic. “If COVID-19 interferes with production or transportation in the futur...
