The Evil Within 2 and Middle-earth Shadow of War have both entered the U.K. Top Ten, but have failed to supplant FIFA 18 despite the football title seeing a 55 percent drop in sales.
Bethesda’s survival horror title managed third place, although sales were down by 75 percent over its predecessor in terms of physical units moved.
Shadow of War fared better in second place, with sales only down slightly in comparison to 2014’s Shadow of Mordor. Likely, this can be down to the rise in digital sales, which are not tracked by GfK Chart Track.
Both games received strong reviews from critics, and were backed up by fairly extensive marketing campaigns. In the case of The Evil Within 2, it launched on fewer platforms than its predecessor, which was made available for current and last-generation consoles.
Elsewhere, the disc version of Friday the 13th: The Game debuted at no.15 for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.
