‘Elden Ring’ release date delay, beta, gameplay, difficulty, bosses and more

Elden Ring practically became a meme by the middle of 2021 – FromSoftware‘s upcoming action-RPG spawned myriad jokes about becoming vaporware that a cursory Google search of the game would throw up more parody accounts than it would actual news stories.

Between its initial reveal at E3 2019 and E3 2021, precious little had been shown about the game. All we had was some key art and the promise it’d be made in collaboration with Game of Thrones‘ George R.

R. Martin. Not exactly a lot to go on.Then, seemingly out of nowhere, the game emerged from its dank subterranean dungeon like a glorious dragon, armed with a trailer and – amazingly – a launch date.
