Just five days ago, we reported that indie hide-and-seek game Meccha Chameleon had sold seven million copies since its release on 10th June, and now it’s topped another staggering milestone: 10 million copies sold.
Developers Lemorion_1224 and Haganerio marked the huge achievement in their customary succinct Steam update, writing: “We hit 10 million sales! Thank you so much for your support!”
Meccha Chameleon is a game in which players must use paint tools to disguise themselves in the environment while others attempt to track them down. Its popularity has largely been down to word-of-mouth and the entertaining exploits of content creators and gamers online.
Meccha Chameleon is the latest in a string of delightful social co-op games, following in the footsteps of the likes of REPO, Lethal Company, and Among Us. Like those games before it, Meccha Chameleon is being sold for a relatively low price compared to many of the triple-A offerings. It’s currently available for £5.29, a fraction of the cost of the 007 First Light for example, which retails for £59.99.
In recognition of the seven million copies sold, the developer behind Meccha Chameleon added a Japan-themed map, although this week’s 1.8.1 update was rolled back on the same day it went live “due to a bug”.
