The gods of Olympus are undoubtedly smiling, and the halls of THQ Nordic are likely echoing with cheers. Titan Quest II, the highly anticipated sequel to the beloved action RPG, has stormed onto the Early Access scene with the force of a thunderbolt from Zeus himself, achieving a monumental sales milestone that cements its status as a breakout hit.
In an astonishing feat, Titan Quest II has sold over 300,000 copies worldwide in less than three days since its Early Access launch on August 5th. This explosive start sends a powerful message: the appetite for deep, loot-driven adventures rooted in rich mythology is stronger than ever.
The momentum shows absolutely no sign of abating. The game continues its relentless charge, consistently ranking among the global top sellers on both the Steam and Epic Games Store platforms. This commercial triumph is mirrored in player engagement, where Titan Quest II has already secured the second-highest concurrent player peak in THQ Nordic’s storied history. It sits proudly behind only 2021’s Biomutant – a title released during the unique, stay-at-home surge of the global pandemic, making TQ2’s achievement in a more normalized market even more remarkable.
Developer Grimlore Games has been quick to express profound gratitude. “The team at Grimlore Games extends their deepest thanks to every single player who has put their trust in them and joined this Early Access odyssey,” the studio stated, emphasizing that “your support means the world!” This outpouring of player faith is being rewarded with a product that is clearly resonating.
The early verdict from the community is overwhelmingly positive. Garnering nearly 6,000 Steam reviews already, the game boasts an impressive 84% “Very Positive” rating. Players and critics alike are praising its core strengths:
- A myth-rich world steeped in the lore of ancient Greece, offering breathtaking vistas and iconic encounters.
- Tactical, satisfying combat that demands more than just button-mashing, rewarding skillful play and build synergy.
- A strong commitment to a microtransaction-free experience, focusing purely on delivering a complete and rewarding ARPG journey without intrusive monetization.
This combination of critical acclaim and commercial success makes Titan Quest II a true early access phenomenon. It demonstrates the potent appeal of a well-crafted, respectful sequel to a classic franchise, delivered with modern sensibilities and a clear respect for the player. For THQ Nordic, this represents more than just strong sales; it’s a validation of their strategy and a significant new pillar in their portfolio. The foundations laid in these first few days are exceptionally strong, and the journey for Titan Quest II, as heroes ascend towards Olympus, looks brighter than ever. The plains of Hellas may tremble, but the gaming world is certainly taking notice.
