Going for Gold(en Saucer)
It’s hardly going to come as a surprise to anybody, but Square Enix’s long-wishlistedFinal Fantasy VII Remakehas debuted in the number-one spot of the UK Charts, celebrating a successful physical launch despite ongoing distribution issues caused by the coronavirus pandemic.
As reported byGamesIndustry.biz, Square Enix’s retread of the 1996 PlayStation classic successfully pushed Activision’sCall of Duty: Modern Warfarefrom the top spot, shoving the military shooter into second place. The Top Ten is rounded out with a slew of big releases, including Capcom’sResident Evil 3, Nintendo’sAnimal Crossing: New Horizons,and Electronic Arts’FIFA 20.
Speaking of Nintendo,Mario Kart 8 Deluxe– which left the Top 20 for the first time since release last week – has rocketed back into the Top Ten, re-entering at number five. A sign that Nintendo Europe is starting to get back on top of its shipment schedule. Also of note, the increasingly rareRing Fit Adventuresuddenly made a reappearance, entering the Top 40 at number 25.
