Dying Light surpasses 5M copies sold, continuing to boost Warner’s 2015 numbers

The best-selling games of the year are usually sequels, but an original zombie property may break that trend in 2015.

Dying Light, the zombie-survival “parkour” game from developer Techland, has surpassed 5 million copies sold since its debut earlier this year, according to an interview with Videogamer.com. That’s a huge number — especially for a game that was not a previously established franchise. The studio is thrilled and still a bit stunned that it has made something with so much appeal. Likewise, Dying Light’s publisher, Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, is also in a surprising situation, as the success of this zombie game has the company ahead of its competition as the top publisher of the year so far in terms of sales.
