Fallout 4 has debuted at number one in the U.K. All Format Chart, becoming the third biggest launch of 2015 so far.
The critically acclaimed post-apocalyptic RPG managed to fend off competition from Xbox One-exclusive Rise of the Tomb Raider, while launch sales were a whopping 213 percent higher than those of the previous game in the series, 2010’s Fallout: New Vegas.
Fallout 4 takes place in Boston, U.S., some 200 years after a nuclear war devastated the country, and like Fallout 3, players will emerge from the confines of the Vault to a post-apocalyptic wasteland inhabited by feral creatures and other hazards. Fallout 4 utilizes the Creation Engine, which was previously responsible for powering The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim on last-generation consoles, though it has been modified for new hardware. Unlike previous entries in the Fallout franchise, this latest title will include full voice acting for the player character, the ‘Sole Survivor,’ and feature branching dialogue paths similar to the Mass Effect series.
Bethesda said last week that it had shipped 12 million copies of Fallout 4 to retailers in order to meet consumer demand, a figure that represented $750 million. Oh, and the game was so popular that it even managed to pry users away from visiting PornHub on its day of release.
