Castlevania: Lords of Shadow shipped one million copies across Europe and the US, marking a huge achievement for series fans everywhere and for Konami president Shinji Hirano.

“Castlevania has truly reinvented itself with its move to next gen platforms and we’re extremely pleased at the positive response we’ve seen toward Castlevania: Lords of Shadow globally, mainly due to the dedicated fans who have supported the series for so long,” Hirano said.

While Lords of Shadow didn’t break the US top ten ranks, Hirano said the franchise’s rebirth was a complete success due to the game’s dedicated team.

“The remarkable sales achieved in such a short time are a true testament of the work and dedication that went into this project, and we’re very grateful to have partnered with such fine talent in the rebirth of one of Konami Digital Entertainment, Inc.’s most successful franchises,” Hirano said.
