"Dragon’s Dogma 2 and
Rise of the Ronin were just two new additions to the genre in March, garnering upwards of 2m monthly active users (MAUs) and just shy of 1m MAUs respectively according to Ampere’s Games Analytics data;"
"Daily active user numbers for the
Stellar Blade demo, which launched at the end of March, have more than doubled those seen for the
FFVII Rebirth demo. The chart demonstrates a launch performance which would match that of
FFVII Rebirth; but this is perhaps a best-case scenario. The hype surrounding
Stellar Blade – largely focused on its character models - may have resulted in inflated interest in the demo, and the rate of conversion to paying, launch users could fall short of what we have seen for its competitors."
"Despite some similarities in genre, style, and therefore potential audience,
Stellar Blade and
FFVII Rebirth represent quite different commercial cases.
FFVII Rebirth is based on an established classic with a deep-rooted fandom – plus, it is a sequel, rather than a standalone game. It is therefore unlikely that quite as many demo players were drawn simply by curiosity or hype, and conversion in that case is likely to be more predictable, and hearty.
Stellar Blade, on the other hand, is a brand-new IP with no pre-existing fandom, making its performance a great deal more difficult to project."
