It is Monday which means it is time to view the latest UK software charts via UKIE/GfK for the week ending 24th August. Platinum Games action-packed Astral Chain shot straight to number one this week in the United Kingdom and is Platinum Games first No.1. Games Industry says that “It is the firm’s fourth most successful launch, and its second biggest new IP launch since Bayonetta all the way back in January 2010. Platinum’s last highest charting game was Metal Gear Rising: Revengeance in 2013, which reached No.2.” It is also the 6th Nintendo Switch game to debut at No.1 this year which is encouraging. For those wondering, Collection of Mana made its debut this week at No.22.

this is surprisingly good for either a Platinum Games title as well as a game with such a strong eastern approach. one day I’m gonna play this.
It’s great so happy for its success
Hmmm, great news for the juggernaut hybrid powerhouse dedicated portable gaming device known as Nintendo switch, now bring bayonetta 3…smh
This is truly one of Nintendo and Platinum Games’ BEST action platorm ever made this year!
I agree with you, Astral Chain is GOTY for me.

Awesome for Platinum… such a quality game. Also, Collection of Mana just released in the UK? Are we talking physical release, because that’s been out since E3 as a download here in the States…
Physical version. It came out last week in the States as well.
Beautiful
It’s sad to hear that Man of Medan is buggy as hell (along with Blair Witch) as I really want to get that game. Hopefully it’ll get a shitload of patches to fix those glitches by the time I finally am able to buy & play it.
