Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem left early access less than a month ago, and despite some bug and server-related issues the game ended up being a success, as we now have a press release that celebrates a total of million copies sold. It also shares the team’s plans for the nearest future. Have a look:

Nice, France, March 5th, 2020 – French developer Wolcen Studios announced today that their action RPG Wolcen: Lords of Mayhem has reached over one million sold units.
