Despite technical issues, Lords of the Fallen had a strong launch commercially. And publisher CI Games has now disclosed the game’s total production and marketing costs.
CI Games says production and marketing costs for Lords of the Fallen totaled over $66 million

CI Games CFO David Broderick shared the figures during a conference call on October 24, according to Bankier.pl. Total costs for Lords of the Fallen amounted to PLN 281 million ($66.6 million), of which:
  • Development costs (excluding engine license fees) — PLN 178 million ($42.2 million);
  • Marketing costs — PLN 81.5 million ($19.3 million);
  • Production of physical copies — PLN 21.5 million ($5.1 million).
This is now the most expensive game in CI Games’ portfolio. Broderick added that marketing costs are not only related to Lords of the Fallen’s launch campaign, but also to the future development of the entire franchise and its brand recognition.
On October 23, CI Games also announced that Lords of the Fallen had surpassed 1 million copies sold in its first 10 days. This includes both physical and digital units. According to Broderick, consoles accounted for 54% of total sales.
For comparison, the original Lords of the Fallen hit 900k units sold in seven months since its release in October 2014.

The game's total budget (production and marketing) is around 200 million zlotys, and according to our estimates, the company should sell 1.4-1.5 million copies, which, with ratings at that level, could be quite ambitious", he added

Nice! Glad to hear it's doing well. I heard good things about it, I want to play it but after a bit of a discount, I have not liked most of the souls like games I played.

Mmmm depends. It's a good Souls game thst is for sure, I just beat it an hour ago. However the perf issues and bugs are ridiculous. This game on consoles should have not been sold like this!
