<h2>Elden Ring is off to an incredibly strong start as it has already sold 12 million copies worldwide since its February 25 release date.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>FromSoftware and Bandai Namco shared the news in a press release, stating that Elden Ring has sold more than one million copies in Japan alone and 12 million copies worldwide as of March 14, 2022. These sales are "derived from distribution figures of the package version and sales figures of the downloadable versions."</h2><h2><br></h2><h2><br></h2><h2>"It's astonishing to see just how many people have been playing Elden Ring," FromSoftware President and CEO/director Hidetaka Miyazaki said. "I'd like to extend our heartfelt thanks on behalf of the entire development team. Elden Ring is based on a mythological story written by George R. R. Martin. We hope players enjoy a high level of freedom when adventuring through its vast world, exploring its many secrets and facing up to its many threats. Thank you for your continued support."</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>President and CEO of Bandai Namco Yasuo Miyakawa also shared some words in celebration of Elden Ring's success, saying this is only the beginning for the brand new IP.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>"Much effort was placed into creating ELDEN RING so that we could exceed the expectations of our fans worldwide," Miyakawa said. "In like manner, we will continue our efforts in expanding the brand beyond the game itself, and into everyone’s daily life. We will continue to create enjoyment and fulfillment through entertainment, so that we can come closer and connect to our fans around the world."</h2><h2><br></h2><h2><br></h2><h2>For comparison, Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice - FromSoftware's previous game - sold two million copies in 10 days. Bloodborne, which was only released on PS4, sold over 1 million copies within two weeks of its launch back in 2015.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>In 2015, Famitsu revealed that Dark Souls, Dark Souls with the Artorias of the Abyss expansion, Dark Souls II, and the remastered release Scholar of the First Sin had sold over eight million copies worldwide. For context, Dark Souls 2 was released on March 11, 2014.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>Dark Souls 3 was Bandai Namco's fastest-selling title in its history and it sold over three million copies about a month after its worldwide release in April 2016.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2><br></h2><h2>In our 10/10 review of Elden Ring, we said that it is a "massive iteration on what FromSoftware began with the Souls series, bringing its relentlessly challenging combat to an incredible open world that gives us the freedom to choose our own path."</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>For more, check out our extensive Wiki guide that will help you survive in the Lands Between, how it is Europe's biggest new IP since The Division, and where it already ranks on our list of the top 10 open-world games of all time.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>Source: <a href="https://www.ign.com/articles/elden-ring-has-already-sold-12-million-copies-worldwide" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.ign.com/articles/elden-ring-has-already-sold-12-million-copies-worldwide</a></h2>

<h2>A send-off soaring as loud as the enigmatic gunshot sound that comes at the end of the iconic gun barrel sequence, opening every cannon Bond film in existence.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>With Daniel Craig and most the cast from the previous movie returning for their designated roleplay, there are few new characters thrown into the already star-studded mix, namely Rami Malek's Safin and his french sidekick, a child actor and a couple of men&nbsp;from Blofeld's ever growing list of&nbsp;henchmen. No Time to Die is a through and through tribute to Craig's tenure as Bond and to the fans of the 21st century version of the franchise who have stuck along since the first installment landed back in the theatres of 2006,</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>The movie picks up exactly where it left off at the end of Spectar, with Swan and Bond car-riding their way off into a possibly 'happy ever after'&nbsp;this period of blissfullness and mental tranquility is short lived when they are attacked by a group of hired goons and the plot picks its pace hereafter, whatever&nbsp;transpires next is your jobs to find out, even though there is a reasonable explanation as who to the antagonist Safin is and why he's chosen to bring doomsday upon the world as his pen-ultimate goal of life, you will need binge watch CR and Spectar (at-least) to get a grasp onto the sentimenal depths of James Bond, otherwise it won't generate the level of emotional connectivity one must essentially feel twords a main protagonist, by no means am I trying to convey that it cannot be watched as a stanalone, all I'm saying is that, for you have a most efficient run for the money you spend buying your tickets, you should consider investing 5 hrs of your daytimes into watching these 2 gigs mentioned above before picking up the finale(they are available to rent on YT n Netflix or download through Torrent) trust me they will be worth the time.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>NTTD makes uttmost use of the very strength that set Daniel's Bond apart from its predecessing machismo potrayals by Sean Connery and Pierce Brosnon, it tells that an overly attractive face with a ripped body structure doesn't always have to be the only positive characteristic audience's are compelled to like about a character as historic as Bond. Craig's Bond in eyes of public is a man with outermost layer tough concreat and unremorsefull as a piece of rock, yet during those miniscule of moments when the spotlight is away from, that is when the facad falls,stripped bare(literally as well as figuratively) what you actually see is man who even though kills human beings as if they are ants and treats women like commodities of pleseure, is tired of it all, he wants a normal life much like everyone else, but the pattern under which his life has structured itself from an early age doesn't let him have at it , he's wants to run away from all the gun blazing, car chasing, having to live under the tagline of 'kill or be killed' but cannot because betrayal, tradey, adrenalin-rush and being used like a merciless machine is all he identifies himself to, off course a weaponery equipped Aston Martin DB5 and an airjet cum submarine only enhance fun of the party. NTTD excels in a field I have rarely seen any Bond film set record at, I'm talking about the cinematography, starting from lush view of tropical forests to frozen suburb of Norway, beautiful beachs and an sparsely popular historic location, the camera directory is top notch, when mingled with the ever improving&nbsp;hand to hand combat sequence, car chases,&nbsp;rooftop driving, NTTD makes one hell of feast for everyones eyes, this being the only JB movie released in 3d yet, I implore you check the format out, it's breathtaking.</h2>

<h2>In our last post, we shared step-by-step instructions for upgrading your app to React 18. In this post, we’ll give an overview of what’s new in React 18, and what it means for the future.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>Our latest major version includes out-of-the-box improvements like automatic batching, new APIs like startTransition, and streaming server-side rendering with support for Suspense.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>Many of the features in React 18 are built on top of our new concurrent renderer, a behind-the-scenes change that unlocks powerful new capabilities. Concurrent React is opt-in — it’s only enabled when you use a concurrent feature — but we think it will have a big impact on the way people build applications.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>We’ve spent years researching and developing support for concurrency in React, and we’ve taken extra care to provide a gradual adoption path for existing users. Last summer, we formed the React 18 Working Group to gather feedback from experts in the community and ensure a smooth upgrade experience for the entire React ecosystem.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>In case you missed it, we shared a lot of this vision at React Conf 2021:</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>1. In the keynote, we explain how React 18 fits into our mission to make it easy for developers to build great user experiences</h2><h2>2. Shruti Kapoor demonstrated how to use the new features in React 18</h2><h2>3. Shaundai Person gave us an overview of streaming server rendering with Suspense</h2><h2>Below is a full overview of what to expect in this release, starting with Concurrent Rendering.</h2><h2><br></h2><h2>Note for React Native users: React 18 will ship in React Native with the New React Native Architecture. For more information, see the React Conf keynote here.</h2><p><br></p>
