If you are a fan of action role-playing games, dark fantasy worlds, or epic stories, you have probably heard of Elden Ring, one of the most anticipated games of 2022. But what exactly is Elden Ring, and why is it so hyped? In this article, we will answer all your questions about this upcoming masterpiece, from its story and gameplay to its creators and release date. Read on to find out everything you need to know about Elden Ring.

Elden Ring is a 2022 action role-playing game developed by FromSoftware, the studio behind the critically acclaimed Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, and Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice. It is directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, the visionary creator of these games, with worldbuilding provided by George R. R. Martin, the author of the best-selling fantasy series A Song of Ice and Fire, which inspired the TV show Game of Thrones.

Elden Ring is set in a new fantasy world called the Lands Between, where the Elden Ring, the source of life and order, has been shattered by a war among its demigod rulers. You play as a Tarnished, a fallen being who was exiled from the Lands Between long ago, but now returns to claim the power of the Elden Ring and become an Elden Lord. Along the way, you will encounter various characters, enemies, and creatures, as well as explore vast landscapes and dungeons that are seamlessly connected.

The story of Elden Ring is told in fragments, leaving much room for interpretation and discovery. According to the official website, this is the premise:

In the Lands Between ruled by Queen Marika the Eternal, the Elden Ring, the source of the Erdtree, has been shattered. Marika’s offspring, demigods all, claimed the shards of the Elden Ring known as the Great Runes, and the mad taint of their newfound strength triggered a war: The Shattering. A war that meant abandonment by the Greater Will.

And now the guidance of grace will be brought to the Tarnished who were spurned by the grace of gold and exiled from the Lands Between. Ye dead who yet live, your grace long lost, follow the path to the Lands Between beyond the foggy sea to stand before the Elden Ring.

And become the Elden Lord.

The Lands Between is a vast and diverse world where open fields with various situations and huge dungeons with complex designs are interconnected. You can traverse this world on foot or on horseback, alone or online with other players. The world is also influenced by a dynamic weather system and a day-night cycle that affect enemy behavior and environmental hazards.

Elden Ring is an action role-playing game that builds on FromSoftware’s signature gameplay style while introducing new elements and innovations. You can create your own character and customize your playstyle by experimenting with a wide variety of weapons, magic abilities, and skills found throughout the world. You can also interact with various NPCs who have their own motivations and stories,
