It’s a stellar day for an RPG sales update: Dragon’s Dogma 2 has soared past 2.5 million copies sold, while the stellar Unicorn Overlord has sold 500,000 copies worldwide since launch.

Capcomjust revealed that, since launching just over a week ago, Dragon’s Dogma 2 has sold 2.5 million copies worldwide on all platforms. In fact, this has brought the series' sales total to over 10 million, after the original Dragon’s Dogma sold around 7.9 million copies.

Elsewhere, publisher Atlus and developer Vanillaware hasannouncedthat Unicorn Overlord has sold over 500,000 copies since it went on sale last month. This follows fromAtlus having to apologize due to the lack of physical copies of Unicorn Overlord in Japanlast month, a solid indicator of just how well the new strategy RPG is being received by audiences.

Capcom might already be looking to the future for its new game -a Dragon’s Dogma 2 survey just asked players how much they’d pay for DLC. Users could select between $10 and $50 for the DLC, which indicates that the DLC, if it does materialize, could be far bigger than just some simple new items.
