Elden Ring is an Action Role-playing video game developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment. The game was directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, in collaboration with fantasy novelist George RR Martin, who provided material for the game's setting. Elden Ring launches on Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S.
Elden Ring is set in a vast open-world environment known as the "Lands Between." Players will assume the role of the "Tarnished," a hero who must navigate through various interconnected realms filled with mythical creatures, dangerous enemies, and challenging environments. The main objective is to restore order to the world by uncovering the secrets of the shattered Elden Ring.
The game features the signature gameplay style of FromSoftware, known for its challenging combat mechanics and atmospheric world-building. Players will engage in intense battles against formidable bosses and encounter a wide range of enemies, each with unique abilities and strategies. Combat in Elden Ring requires precision, timing, and strategic thinking to overcome the game's challenging encounters.
One of the notable aspects of Elden Ring is its emphasis on exploration and player freedom. The game offers an open-world environment where players can freely roam on foot or horseback, discover hidden areas, and interact with various non-playable characters.
