Bethesda Softworks announces the "successful" launch of Fallout 4, and by
successful, they mean that the post-apocalyptic RPG sequel shipped about 12
million units its first day of availability, though they don't state how many
copies were sold. They also say this represents "record" sales, though they do
not report any specific record the game has broken. "We’re extremely proud of
Todd Howard, Game Director at Bethesda Game Studios, and his experienced team of
developers for their talent and dedication in creating this extraordinary game,"
said Vlatko Andonov, President of Bethesda Softworks. "Fallout 4 is a
masterpiece in game development and storytelling, providing fans hundreds of
hours of fun as they explore and are challenged by this fascinating, beautifully
crafted world." Here's what they say about the release:
