Elden Ring

Elden Ring is a dark fantasy RPG developed by FromSoftware and published thanks to Bandai Namco Entertainment. It is an epic and challenging adventure created by the developers of Demon's Souls in collaboration with the author of A Song of Ice and Fire series, George R. R. Martin.

Discover the secrets of the Lands Between and embark on the most heroic mission to discover the purpose of the magical artifact and your destiny. On August 28, 2026, the game arrives in its expanded Tarnished Edition, bundling the base game with the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion and new content across PC, PlayStation, Xbox, and, for the first time, Nintendo Switch 2.

Gameplay

Create a character and take care of every element of appearance, equipment, and personality. Rise as a fearless warrior or a clever treasure hunter. The Elden Ring game allows players to fully customize the heroes, which makes the gameplay even more unique. Explore the stunning open world on foot or on the back of a trusted horse, discovering the six kingdoms of the Lands Between to learn scraps of the history of this mystical place. As with other soulslike titles, nothing is clear in this video game; it's up to you to gather information and understand it.

Story

The Elden Ring is destroyed. Its fragments, scattered all over the world, arouse in the gods a desire to possess them. The incredible power of the artifacts transforms the gods into raging creatures taken over by madness. Return from exile and rise as one of those worthy of collecting the Elden Ring pieces. Face bloodthirsty enemies and powerful bosses, each an independent creature equipped with its own fighting style and unique skills. Use weapons and spells, but don't underestimate your opponents, and prepare your attacks carefully, or you may not get out of the fight alive.

Graphics

The Elden Ring video game, like Dark Souls, offers the possibility of playing single‑player gameplay or online in cooperation with up to four players. You don't have to defeat the most powerful bosses alone; summon other players and fight for life together. Ongoing support keeps the experience polished, with patch 1.16.2, released in May 2026, addressing stability issues that could previously cause freezing, unexpected termination, or rendering anomalies under certain conditions.
