VAMPYR Has Sold 1 Million Units As Focus Home And Dontnod Are Working On "Ambitious" Title

Last year's Vampyr has managed to reach another milestone, as Dontnod Entertainment's role-playing title has officially sold well over a million copies worldwide, making it one of the most successful video games in the French studio's portfolio. Considering that Dontnod is currently developing two yet-to-be-announced projects, it's not impossible that one of them is a full-blown sequel to the original Vampyr.

Even if V2 is not in the works, Dontnod has once again partnered with Focus Home Entertainment, the publisher of the first entry. "Our new co-production promises to be one of the most ambitious in the history of the publisher and the studio," Dontnod revealed in the official press release.

“We are delighted to continue the adventure with the team at Dontnod who have already amply demonstrated their talents to create rich universes, enhanced by a masterful narrative and unique artistic direction," COO of Focus Home Interactive John Bert said. "We are proud to once again allow the talent of the studio to express itself on this new project which is intended to be among the most ambitious in the history of Focus and Dontnod."

“We are excited to be strengthening our successful relationship with Focus Home Interactive," Dontnod CEO Oskar Guilbert added. "Their proven and effective marketing, their ability to address new digital distribution channels, their experienced teams and the convergence of our editorial visions makes FOCUS an ideal partner for our new game. Vampyr is a great success and we are very happy to develop this partnership with this exciting new project. "

The fact that Dontnod is working on the second season of Life is Strange, their all-new IP Twin Mirror (in collaboration with Bandai Namco), and the two aforementioned video games, there's a big chance that we won't hear about those new projects until after the last episode of LiS2 launches in December.
