List of best-selling Eastern role-playing game franchises

Last updated

This is a list of best-selling Eastern role-playing game franchises. For inclusion on the list, a franchise must have sold or shipped at least one million copies. For the purpose of this article, an Eastern role-playing game is defined as a franchise which: (1) is considered a role-playing game by reliable sources and was made in Asia or (2) made in another country, but otherwise the franchise would be difficult to differentiate from an Eastern role-playing game due to having common traits such as: anime/manga/donghua/manhwa character designs, RPG elements, fantasy setting and widely considered as being inspired or influenced by Eastern role-playing games. The numbers for sales or shipments are based on the most recent available sourced numbers and often may not include non-video game sales or more recent sales; actual total sales numbers may be higher. This does not include standalone games, such as Scarlet Nexus and Triangle Strategy . This list also does not include gacha games with RPG elements, such as Genshin Impact and Blue Archive .
