Tainted Grail: The Fall of Avalon, which is essentially an indie take on The Elder Scrolls franchise, has gone down as a considerable success for developer Questline, as it's now confirmed the RPG has sold over one million copies.
In a Steam community post, the studio thanked those who have bought the game and supported it since its May 2025 release. "As always, thank you so much for all the love and support throughout this journey! After all, it's literally you who made this achievement come to life!"

A commemorative video to mark the sales milestone has been released, as seen below:
For anyone who's interested in the game but yet to pick it up, it's currently on sale on the PS Store until 5th February for £25.89 / $31.49, which is a 30% price drop. Here's the overall setup:
Embark on a grim journey throughout Avalon, an immersive world in which you shape your destiny through the choices you make and who you choose to become. With quests to undertake, characters to meet and mysteries to unfold around every corner, you'll carve your own path and leave your own mark on these sinister lands, torn from the fore-dwellers by King Arthur’s hands.
While we didn't review the game, it currently has an overall Metacritic rating of 80 for the PC version, and it's since been expanded after release with a DLC drop.

Really liked the look of this game before it released, but I simply had too much to play that I had already bought, and so did not pick it up until now. Really pleased that is has done well...
This game appeals to me on so many levels. If my backlog wasn’t so un-manageable… and the game wasn’t so buggy, I’d have played it by now. The fact that it was recently patched and now runs great on console does take away my one issue… now back to the backlog to try and remove the other.
There’s also a demo on PSN so you can try it before you buy it. I’ve downloaded it just haven’t played it yet. Looks great
Its a superb game looks great on the pro , fantastic music with some really great side quests , it really irks me that avowed gets more press and this game blows it out of the water , for £25 just buy it
I practically live and breathe games, but somehow this one completely slipped under my radar!
I'm totally up for a game of this type and at £25 I'm definitely going to jump in!
Thanks for the article Liam, I might never have seen this without 👍
**Update. Eurogames.com has really good deals on PSN credit atm - save about %16 even on lower top ups. This game is now downloading for about £21... look forwards to playing it.
I'm defo interested, hadn't heard much about it, i'll bang it on the wishlist and check it out in the near future. I don't really want to start another RPG until i'm done with Mandragora Whispers of the Witch Tree (great game) which i'm not sure I will actually complete yet tbh. Kinda hard and I don't use guides but this sounds like a great game.
Now this looks way more appealing then Avowed to me anyway.
Good AAs are the future. Hope we get them a lot in different genres too. While I love my blockbuster as much as the next guy, there is apparently something unsustainable there and they need to figure it out.
I tried it. But the 3rd person mode was too janky for me to enjoy it. Hadn’t heard a thing about it so wasn’t sure how successful it had been.
I was interested in the original Boardgame for this as the theme looked of grim dark arthurian legends is great and the minis looked pretty decent also, but it was bloody expensive as all Boardgames are now. Never really followed the game much but may check it out at some point if it looks promising.
@AhmadSumadi same here. I really wanted to like it, but I couldn't. Too janky and I wasn't hooked at all. I might give the demo another shoot
@Hesse is it only available in certain regions maybe? Can't find the demo for this. Neither on the product page nor the demo section.
Really really good game, apart from it being so bloody buggy.
Crashes every 20 min or so. I had to stop playing it (about nov last Yr)
Has it been fixed since?
Never heard of this before. Would like a decent RPG to sink my teeth into but I’ve started the Witcher 3. Maybe down the line I’ll grab this.
@dschons Maybe. I live in the USA if that helps
I played the demo on launch. I couldn't play it more than 30 minutes. For me it felt too janky, too clunky. Is it in a better state now?
I wanted to like this one but the game never clicked with me. Took dark I think.
I fell off it part way through the second act. Not a bad effort. Really strong writing and an interesting world but very very unpolished. I bet in 5 years time we'll all be talking about whatever this studio does next though.
@Titntin have to let me know what you think its one of my favourite games of last year , I was banging on about it for months in various comment sections 😂
@AhmadSumadi yeah the 3rd person is dire, and apparently was just slapped on late in game because of fan feedback , it needs work
@Xodan much better state, with some great graphical options you only usually find, in pc games
This one is absolutely on my radar. Had it on my wishlist since I first heard of it. I'll get to it at some point.
Played the demo then ordered the ‘deluxe’ edition of the game. Loved it. Nice story, setting, soundtrack. Felt old school rpg to me. Will play the DLC when I’ve done with Clair 33 and Baldurs Gate 3.
Err, might be waiting a while ha
I love it as well. It's got a fair amount of jank that you'd expect from an Elder Scrolls style game, but the design and world have pulled me through it. And once I'm finished with the main story I will be getting the DLC.
Methinks I’ll give this another try. I played the demo and wasn’t impressed, but in all honesty I didn’t give it a lot of time. Maybe it’s worth a second chance
It's on my wishlist. I know I'll love it when I play it. I knew the game was fairly popular already but I'm glad to hear the game is a financial success as well!
The game is food,maybe great but runs like dogshit on the PS5 sadly.
Incredible game. Loved every bit of it. Definitely a mess on Ps5 but they eventually got it to run better. Sadly I had already almost finished it by then, however it was that good that I wanted to see it through despite some bugs and crashes.
