In its first week of release, the ICO Partners analysis counts more than 7,000 articles.
Not even a week has passed since the premiere of Elden Ring on PC and consoles, but the title of FromSoftware It has generated tremendous buzz before its release and continues to generate a lot of conversation after it. The title has had a scandalous premiere in its early days, and that is why perhaps it is not surprising what we are here to tell you today.
It is logical that a game like this generates more debate than the rest due to several reasons, but the analysis of ICO partnersa British video game agency, leaves no room for doubt: with more than 7,300 articles published on the network in the last seven days, it is the game with the highest record in this period if we review the data obtained since 2020.
It is well above the rest of the releasesIn fact, the agency itself has shared an infographic to put the figure in context with respect to other major releases. We see that Horizon: Forbidden West is in second place, but very far from the work of Hidetaka Miyazaki. The Guerrilla game reached 4,500 posts, ahead of Resident Evil Village or Cyberpunk 2077.
A relative equality is observed between the games that go from the second to the seventh position, but the difference of Elden Ring with its competitors is capital, almost doubling the games that have had more coverage. It must be remembered that this analysis only focuses on the first days of the games for sale, so it only serves to get an idea of the impact they have had at the time of their release.
Unmatched coverage
Several factors cause Elden Ring to be the game that has enjoyed the most following in its early days. The mere fact of receiving such a high rating on the part of the critics, it is already on everyone’s lips, and the success it is accumulating causes more news events to come to light than other works can achieve. Without going any further, this same news you are reading contributes to it, which leaves us in a news cycle that could well serve as an excuse for a fiction.
The game concept itself generates more conversationIn addition, it is one of the first great titles that are published in the new generation of consoles, being enjoyed in multiple platforms. The very concept of the game also allows for the publication of a multitude of articles that act both as guides and reflections on its conception and of the very different experience that each individual can have.
Regarding the latter, we recommend a couple of pieces that we have prepared in 3DJuegos. In the first place, Alejandro Pascual’s ongoing analysis, which makes it clear that he is finding it a fascinating adventure despite the game lasting dozens and dozens of hours. Secondly, Adrián Suárez’s special report offers you some advice if you have chosen Elden Ring as a starting point to get started in a Souls-type game.
