Encyclopedic overview

Elden Ring is a 2022 action role-playing game directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki with worldbuilding provided by the American fantasy writer George R. R. Martin. Developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, it was first released on February 25, 2022 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Windows, Xbox One and Xbox Series X/S. Set in the Lands Between, players control a customizable player character on a quest to repair the Elden Ring and become the new Elden Lord.

Elden Ring is presented through a third-person perspective with players freely roaming its open world. The six main areas can be traversed using the player character's steed Torrent. Linear, hidden dungeons can be explored to find useful items. Players engage enemies using various weapons and magic spells, and can focus on non-direct engagement enabled by stealth mechanics. Throughout the game's world, checkpoints enable fast travel and allow players to improve their attributes using an in-game currency called runes. Elden Ring features an online multiplayer mode in which players join through cooperative play to fight bosses or engage in player versus player combat.
