Cult of the Lamb released in 2022 to a good deal of fanfare, due in part to the contrasting nature of the game’s narrative and themes mixed with the cutesiness of the art, characters and animation work. Since then, the team have released a bunch of major updates, including full-blown co-op support. This commitment by the team seems to have translated to commercial success, as the game has sold over 4.5 million copies.
Making the announcement via a press release in which the team at Massive Monsters unveiled their upcoming project – a music EP named ‘Cult of the Lamb: Hymns of the Unholy’ – it was also revealed that the rogue-like has reached a new sales milestone.
As part of the announcement, the team confirmed that “The smash hit indie has sold more than 4.5 million copies since its 2022 release, winning four Australian Game Developer Awards, a Golden Joystick Award and receiving nominations at The Game Awards and BAFTA.”
For context, Cult of the Lamb surpassed 3.5 million copies sold back in January of this year, meaning they managed to shift an additional million in the 9 months since.
Cult of the Lamb was already an excellent game upon its initial launch back in 2022, but thanks to a bunch of major updates the title is better and more fun than it has ever been – and so if you never gave the game a full shot back in the day, it might be worth a second look.
