Edit (5/16/22): 800,000 cumulative sales worldwide seems to refer to the series overall sales and not the sales of Phantasy Reverie Series, which has yet to be released. This same factoid is also mentioned on the “What is Klonoa?” page of the latest game’s Japanese website.
DuringBandai Namco’s stream as part of PlayExpo 2022, a short slideshow was shown explaining the elements new to this remaster such as support mode and the difficulty options. The first slide though, mentions the game has so far exceeded the sale of 800,000 copies cumulative worldwide. (Keep in mind that this number probably doesn’t include the US as pre-orders still aren’t available in this region.)
Cumulative worldwide sales exceed 800,000 copies! A game where you can enjoy a grand fantasy story with simple yet interesting action! A popular work that drew attention for its novel story and 2.5D expression, which is unusual for action scenes.
While actual sales data of the series is hard to pinpoint, the series in the past has been known to make it’s best sales in Japan only with the Wii game doing poorly worldwide. This looks to be the best pre-sale numbers for the series so far.
