The best Elder Scrolls game that isn’t an Elder Scrolls game is getting a big patch in February and free DLC in March

Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon Hits 1 Million Copies Sold—Here’s What’s Next

Questline, the Polish developer behind the critically acclaimed Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, has officially crossed the 1 million copies sold milestone in 2025, cementing its place as one of the most successful indie RPGs in recent years. The game, often described as a “Skyrim-like” experience set in a dark, Arthurian-inspired world, has captivated players with its deep storytelling, immersive world-building, and challenging gameplay.

Released in June 2024, Tainted Grail quickly gained traction for its unique blend of open-world exploration, tactical combat, and narrative-driven quests. The game’s success comes at a time when fans of the RPG genre have been craving a fresh take on the formula popularized by Bethesda’s The Elder Scrolls series. Questline’s ability to deliver a polished, expansive experience has clearly resonated with players, as evidenced by the game’s impressive sales figures.

But Questline isn’t resting on its laurels. The studio has been consistently updating the game since its release, with patch 1.16 rolling out recently to improve performance and address player feedback. The update includes a small framerate boost across all platforms, new alchemy recipes, and fixes for various mechanical and narrative bugs. Additionally, Questline has teased a major February update that will focus on polishing Act Three, as well as a free DLC set to launch in March.

While details about the DLC remain under wraps, fans are speculating that it could explore the iconic Camelot (spelled “Kamelot” in-game), a location that has yet to be visited in the base game. Whatever the content may be, it’s clear that Questline is committed to keeping players engaged and expanding the world of Tainted Grail.

In our review, critic Sam Desatoff praised the game for its ambition and execution, writing, “The good outweighs the bad by a fair margin. In a genre largely dominated by Bethesda and Obsidian, it’s good to see a new developer making its mark, and Questline is punching above its weight.”

With its growing player base and ongoing support, Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon is proving that indie studios can compete with industry giants. As Questline continues to refine and expand the game, fans can look forward to even more adventures in this dark, Arthurian world.
