In an interview with Destructoid, Bethesda VP of marketing Pete Hines said that Dishonored is “far exceeding our sales expectations.” They have been experiencing strong sales both internationally, as well as a crazy weekend of sales where Dishonored was the best selling game on steam.
So what does that mean for the game? Pete Hines said “Clearly we have a new franchise!”
While we don’t know the exact number of sales for the game, we do know that Bethesda manage to sell 460,200 boxed copies in the launch window of October in North America alone, an impressive amount of sales given for a new IP. With the sales from Black Friday and Cyber Monday, as well as digitally, it would be a shame to see this game be a one hit wonder.
