Titan Quest 2 has sold 300,000 copies in just 3 days

Almost two decades following the original game’s release, Titan Quest 2 surprise-launched in Early Access just a few days ago. Despite the 20 years between entries, fans of the franchise seem to have come out in full force, with the action-RPG having already sold over 300,000 copies.

As part of THQ Nordic’s recent games showcase, the publisher announced and shadow dropped Titan Quest 2 into Early Access on PC. The sequel to this Diablo-esque ARPG brings with it countless improvements including new dodging mechanics; counterattacks; factions; world events and much more.

Given that the game received no marketing in the lead-up to its shadow-drop, Titan Quest 2’s near-immediate success is worth noting, with the teams at Grimlore Games / THQ Nordic taking to Twitter to say:

“The plains of Hellas are trembling and Mount Olympus echoes with the footsteps of over 300,000 champions! We salute you, warriors, and thank you for over 300,000 copies sold in less than 72 hours!”

While we do not have any up-to-date figures for the first game, the most recent reports placed the 2006 original at around 1 million copies sold.

Given that Titan Quest 2 is coming out 20 years later, it’s hard to make an apples-to-apples comparison between the two. That said, 300,000 copies sold in 72 hours is certainly worth celebrating – especially as early impressions appear to be highly positive.

It will be interesting to see how long the game remains in Early Access – and how quickly it will wind up surpassing the first game’s sales.
