Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot hits 2 million copies sold

Bandai Namco posts impressive sales figures for open-word (ish) action RPG, Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot.

It’s fair to say that Dragon Ball Z: Kakarot received a mixed reception on its release in January. The game’s blend of combat and role-playing drawing equal parts acclaim and criticism.

However, such is the enduring strength of the Dragon Ball brand, the game appears to be critic-proof. In its first week on sale, it topped the UK video game charts, sold just under 90,000 copies in Japan, and achieved 1.5 million in unit sales.

In a tweet posted yesterday, publisher Bandai Namco has confirmed that the game has now sold over two million copies worldwide. Impressive stuff.

2 Million 😱 With so many Saiyans protecting the Earth, it should be safe (…for now)! Thank you so much for taking part in the #DragonBall Z: Kakarot adventure! pic.twitter.com/OMXo3TQxhk
