Unicorn Overlord has sold over 1 million copies since its early March release.
Vanillaware's tactical-RPG sold 500,000 copies within its first month and has gathered momentum since then. The title is currently available on Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Nintendo Switch.
"The Unicorn Overlord team expresses their deepest gratitude for the tremendous support they have received from players," wrote Atlus in a press release.
How Unicorn Overlord fits into Vanillaware's history and Atlus' 2024
The last two Vanillaware games, Dragon's Crown and 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, both took several years (and releases on multiple systems) to sell 1 million copies. This makes Unicorn the fastest-selling Vanillaware title in recent memory.
Unicorn Overlord launched alongside plenty of competition, including Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth. The strong release slate at the start of 2024 makes Unicorn's performance so notable.
Atlus (and parent company Sega) look to be enjoying a bumper 2024. Persona 3 Reload became Atlus' fastest-selling title ever, and Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance and Like a Dragon: Infinite Wealth have also been strong performers commercially.
