Recently, Bloomberg reporter Jason Schreier reported that "Marvel's Nightborne" suffered a sales failure. In response, T2 Studios CEO Zelnick said that one of the reasons for the poor sales of "Marvel's Nightborne" is that the release date was not chosen appropriately.
"Marvel's Nightborne" was originally scheduled to be released in October 2022, but was eventually postponed to December 2, 2022 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S and PC platforms. Although the game received positive reviews after its release, all platform versions began to reduce prices within a month of release, and the price reduction reached 33%. This suggests that its publishers are disappointed with its commercial performance. According to recently released data, "Marvel's Nightborne" failed to make the list of the 100 best-selling games in the UK in 2022.
Strauss Zelnick believes that although the release date was not chosen appropriately, he believes that "Marvel's Nightborne" will be a long-term best-seller like other games made by developer Firaxis Games.
