Thanks for the update Justin. They also note the series' sales is now at 74 million. Is this a new figure?

OT: Still waiting on a shipment confirmation to post pictures, but Square's site has now updated the release date to April so I'm assuming the wait is going to be a few weeks longer.

I'm actually really interested in this and might buy it myself. I loved the AoD board game, and you know, this is merchandise I can afford. Thanks for the updates.

Wait, wot? 7 million additional sales in just other a month? That sounds... Unlikely. Are you sure you didn't mean to write "January 22 2018"?

Maybe they simply didn't have some data (old or new ?) at the time.

In the 2nd link (the latest one), it reads:

So which one is it? Either there was a mistake the first time with the 67 million or the 74 million is the mistake and it's still close to 67 now.

As of a press release issued by Square Enix on Feb 12, 2019, Tomb Raider had sold 67 million units worldwide. This number rose to 74 million units worldwide as of a press release issued by Square Enix on March 5, 2019.

Thus according to Square Enix, Tomb Raider sold 7 million units between Feb 12, 2019 and Mar 5, 2019.

Justin, the one from March 5 also says 67M. It is the one about the board game, from March 18 that says 74M.


That being said, it could simply be the case of more up-to-date numbers. Doesn't really mean that between Feb 12 and March 18 the franchise has sold 7M games. Only between the last time they updated the numbers, and god knows how long those were distanced.

For all we know, those numbers are from before and after SotTR's release. And that doesn't mean SotTR alone sold 7M. RotTR is still jumping to Steam's top selling games whenever is on sale, for example...

Actually the one from March 5 says 67 million and 74 million (in the same document) which I think is the point Mikky was making. I'll ask for clarification on this. What we do know for sure (according to SE) is Tomb Raider has now sold 74 million units.

I agree. This is Tomb Raider as a whole.
