Buff orcs and raptors best the Witcher
Well, thisisa surprise.The Elder Scrolls Onlineis currently at the top of UK retail charts, managing to sell over 100,000 copies in its first week. I really likeTESO, but itisa game that released over a year ago tomiddling reviews on PC. And then it was then plagued bylaunch issues on its recent console release too, so seeing it dothis wellis an absolute shock to me.
Not only that, but it has become the second-best seller of the year in the UK, outsellingBattlefield: Hardlinebut still notThe Witcher 3.That’s currently sat in third place, withTESOandLEGO Jurassic Parkboth having come along and knocked it down a few pegs.
Maybe ‘The Elder Scrolls’has a bit more brand power after the colossal success ofSkyrimthan I thought it did?
