23 million sales, half of which in China, Josef Farès

While Josef Farès goes around the media and content creators to promote Split Fiction, the latter returned to the incredible success of It Takes Two, his previous game, left with the Goty statuette in 2021. An incredible surprise that will have allowed this very nice game to touch the very general public. With 23 million copies sold, IT Takes Two allows himself to put much more popular deductibles fine, especially in multiplying the number of players in two (you have to be two compulsory to play), that makes 46 million people who played under the title. Except that Josef Farès reveals a fact that was still little known to us: out of the 23 million copies that have been sold worldwide, half of China, which means that big Modo, 11.5 million copies were sold in the country of the middle. It was indeed at the microphone of the YouTube Minnmax channel that the Lebano-Swedish creator revealed this information.

“Of the 23 million sales, half was made in China. And for a reason that I don’t know, they loved our game.”

This allows you to put the church back in the village center and understand that now China is no longer a market to neglect for publishers and video game studios. The dazzling success of Black Myth Wukong and its 25 million copies (including 7.5 million in the West) proves that the Chinese public has evolved, that it is no longer confined to mobile games or MMO. Split Fiction was undoubtedly built with this data, especially since this time, we will wear another atmosphere, between fantasy and science fiction. Besides, the game is full of reference to pop culture and the sci-fi cities that we are going to browse recall Blade Runner and its very tokyoite atmospheres in its rendering, the kind of atmosphere that is now found in Chinese megalopolises like Shanghai or Chingqin. It remains to be seen whether the Chinese public will be as receptive as it is for It Takes Two.
