"Eldon law ring" has become the most popular game so far in 2022, and the parent company of FS society, Kagawa, also hopes to keep the strong momentum of the game. At present, they are still trying to make players continue to indulge in this work. The most direct way to do this is to launch DLC.
The 2022 financial report recently released by Kagawa shows that their expectations for the Eldon law ring are not high. Before fiscal year 2022, Kagawa expected the profit of its game department to be about 1.3-1.8 billion yen (68.25-94.5 million yuan). In the second quarter, it reduced the expected value to 900 million yen (47.25 million yuan), and the sales target was 4 million copies.
Today, however, about 13.4 million copies have been sold, more than three times the expected sales. The Kagawa game department also made a lot of money, with a profit of an amazing 5.2 billion yen (273 million yuan), more than five times the estimated profit.
A FAQ in its financial report shows that Eldon law ring seems to have plans to launch more content:
Q: What are the estimated sales and shipments of Eldon law ring for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2023?
A: We will not disclose the forecast of individual game sales or shipments. But we are considering a number of measures to help players continue to enjoy this work.
"Taking a number of measures to retain players" seems to be the official hint of DLC's plan, but due to a number of works not sold by other manufacturers and the delay of DLC ticket skipping recently, it is unclear when DLC will release Eldon law ring.
