Hyrule Warriors: Age Of Calamity Is The Best-Selling Musou Game Of All Time
Japanese publisher Koei Tecmo has revealed in its third-quarter earnings report that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity has sold over 3.5 million units worldwide since release. Not only has the game been a big hit for Koei Tecmo, but it has also become the single best-selling Musou/Warriors game of all time.
For comparison, the first Nioh game managed to sell three million units on both PC and PS4 by February 2020. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity was only available on the Nintendo Switch and had sold three million units by the end of December 2020.
The rest of the quarter also saw tremendous growth for the publisher, as its mobile division continued to grow and other games sold consistently well. Romance Of The Three Kingdoms XIV and Atelier Ryza 2 sold 100,000 units and 220,000 units respectively in Japanese and Asian markets, which helped Koei Tecmo achieve a 64.7% year-on-year increase in profits.

Torchwood Star Wants A Reboot, Even If His (Dead) Character Isn’t In It
Actor Gareth David-Lloyd has come forward to say he is interested in appearing in a reboot or revival of the Doctor Who spin-off Torchwood.
David-Lloyd, who played Ianto Jones on the show, told MetroUK that he wants Torchwood to come back even if Ianto isn’t part of it. As fans will recall, Ianto died during the Children of Earth storyline, but David-Lloyd believes Ianto could come back in some fashion. After all, Torchwood is sci-fi, so the time travel and alternate universe possibilities are there.
“There’s the scope for it to come back; I’d love it to come back whether Ianto would be part of it or not,” he said. “I think maybe bringing him back easily would sort of cheapen the drama that was created in Children Of Earth, but I’d obviously jump at the chance to play him on screen again. Maybe in an alternate universe or something like that? Or Ianto from the future? I’m not sure! But the popularity is definitely there.”
