Level-500k

Fantasy Life was, previously, a Nintendo 3DS exclusive – but making its long-awaited successor multiformat appears to be working out wonderfully for Level-5.
On the legendary developer’s long (long) awaited return – seriously, it hasn’t properly shipped a game apart from Megaton Musashi in over six years – it’s confirmed that Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has topped 500,000 units.
While sales information is scattered between platforms, we know the game has attracted 60k peak concurrent players on Steam this weekend, which puts it comfortably ahead of other big recent releases like DOOM: The Dark Ages.
In loosely related news, the Japanese studio’s announced that it will be adding free DLC to the title at a later date to celebrate its global success. This will include fresh recipes and new content designed to make use of “high rarity weapons”.
This is all part of a renaissance for Level-5, with other upcoming titles including Inazuma Eleven: Victory Road and DECAPOLICE.
