Final Fantasy XIV Stormblood is not just a successful expansion. The addon has brought a tremendous increase in sales to the online role-playing game. Additionally, there’s the mount Sleipnir as a flying mount with update 4.1.
The second addon for Final Fantasy XIV, Stormblood, is resulting in higher revenue and increased player numbers for publisher Square Enix.
Tremendous Revenue Increase from Stormblood Addon
The first quarter of the fiscal year 2018 must have put a blissful smile on the faces of Square Enix shareholders. Because of Stormblood, Final Fantasy XIV has become more popular than ever before.
The high revenues are said to result, according to the quarterly report, from both many addons sold and an increased number of subscribers. Therefore, Square Enix expects that Final Fantasy XIV will continue to have a strong impact on the company’s profit in the future.
According to Square Enix, there have never been so many paying subscribers for Final Fantasy XIV as after the release of the expansion.
Note: We already reported at the beginning of August about the excellent numbers of Stormblood that the number of subscribers has risen to a new record high, which was new to us. This is now evident from a translation of the presentation from August 4th from Japanese.
Sleipnir can fly again with patch 4.1!
Not only are the revenues of Square Enix currently on a high flight. The mount Sleipnir, Odin’s horse, can also fly with update 4.1. This is in response to a long-held fan wish.
