The report mentioned that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity surpassed 3.5 million shipments by the end of December 2020. That means half a million more copies were shipped after the initial announcement of the game reaching 3 million shipments in its launch week.

In the same document, Koei Tecmo also announced that Atelier Ryza 2 had sold 220,000 copies in Japan and Asia. Romance of the Three Kingdoms XIV Diplomacy and Strategy Expansion Pack Bundle also sold 100,000 copies in the same region.

Console games were not the only main contributors this time around. Koei Tecmo also saw record-high sales income from mobile games, with the highest increase ratio of 86.5%. The company revealed that the latest mobile titles from the Romance of the Three Kingdoms strategy game series have finally found success in both Japan and China.

Koei Tecmo’s financial reports were previously notable for mentioning the Western release of Persona 5 Strikers. Although the company removed it from documents for the first two quarters of this fiscal year, Persona 5 Strikers was finally listed again in the upcoming title list on page 12 after receiving a release date of February 23, 2021. The same page also mentioned the imminent releases of Atelier Ryza 2‘s Western localization in January 2021 and Nioh 2: The Complete Edition in February 2021.
