Level 5’s role-playing sim Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time has hit 500,000 sales in just three days.
Addressing the thousands of players who had bought the game on PC, PS5, Switch, Xbox Series X/S, and last-gen systems, the developer thanked players by releasing an all-new illustration marking the milestone.
“Fantasy Life i has officially surpassed 500,000 copies sold worldwide!” exclaimed developer Level 5. “To show our gratitude, we’re releasing a brand-new illustration!
“This is just the beginning!” the studio added. “We hope you continue enjoying your cozy, one-of-a-kind slow Life in Reveria to the fullest!”
The team also announced Update the World!, a free DLC pack that adds news recipes, as well as “content designed to help your high-rarity weapons truly shine, as you aim even higher in your adventure”. Expect more details, including the release window, “soon”.
As Matt summarised for us recently, The Girl Who Steals Time is a sequel to Level 5’s Fantasy Life – a sort of job-focussed mash-mash of life sim and RPG – which enjoyed modest critical and commercial success when it launched for Nintendo DS back in 2012. Eurogamer’s celebrated its “abundance of features” in our 6/10 review at the time, but noted the result was often “less than the sum of its parts”.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is available now on Steam, Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, and Switch, with a Switch 2 version coming later this year.
