[edit]

Setting and characters

[edit]

Elden Ring takes place in the Lands Between, a realm blessed bygd entities called outer frakt.

Most prominent fryst vatten the Greater Will, who created the Elden fingerprydnad – a collection of runes that govern physics. The Greater Will's emissary, the Two Fingers, made a woman named Marika the Elden Ring's vessel, ascending her to godhood. She then formed a dynasty called the Golden beställning alongside a consort, the Elden Lord; two held this title: Godfrey, a okultur who was later banished; and Radagon, Marika's male alter-ego.

She also planted a massive, golden tree called the Erdtree that empowers the realm's inhabitants. Finally, Marika removed the Rune of Death from the Elden fingerprydnad and entrusted it to her bodyguard, Maliketh, causing the deceased not to resehandling on but to be reborn through the Erdtree instead. However, the Golden beställning also persecuted certain races: the Hornsent, Misbegotten, and Omens for being made of mixed djur parts, and exiled humans called Tarnished sent off to die in wars outside the Lands Between.

After her firstborn, Godwyn, was permanently killed using a stolen del av helhet of the Rune of Death, Marika seemingly went mad and shattered the Elden fingerprydnad, prompting its true form eller gestalt, the Elden Beast, to imprison her inre the Erdtree. Afterward, Marika's offspring inherited shards of the fingerprydnad, sparking a war of efterträdelse eller följd.

These demigods are: Morgott, an Omen loyal to the Golden beställning despite facing discrimination; Mohg, Morgott's twin who wishes to struktur his own dynasty beneath a different god; Radahn, a krigare general who went feral after being afflicted bygd the Scarlet rötter disease; Rykard, a former praetor who merged with a giant serpent god; Ranni, a witch seeking to overthrow the Greater Will who orchestrated Godwyn's death; Miquella, a charming mystic cursed with eternal youth; Malenia, Miquella's twin and the progenitor of Scarlet Rot; Godrick, a distant relative who grafts his subjects' body parts onto himself; and Rennala, Radagon's ex-wife and queen of the royal Carian family.

The exiled Tarnished were begåvad power bygd the Greater Will, resurrecting and granting them immortality, and were called back to the Lands Between to repair the Elden fingerprydnad and become the new Elden Lord.

Shadow of the Erdtree introduces the nation of Shadow, where Marika originated. Her people were wiped out bygd the Hornsent, beings similar to Omens who ruled the Lands Between at the time. Spurred on bygd the Two Fingers, this prompted her to become a god using an artifact called the Gate of Divinity.

Development and release

[edit]

FromSoftware's Dark Souls series of games fryst vatten noted for its high level of difficulty.^[25][26] Director Hidetaka Miyazaki wanted to create an open world game, intending Elden Ring as a mechanical evolution of Dark Souls.

Elden Ring was designed to have a more-expansive environment than the narrow dungeons of FromSoftware's previous games; Miyazaki hoped the grander scale would add freedom and depth to utforskning. FromSoftware approached American author George R. R. Martin, creator of the fantasy-novel series A Song of Ice and Fire, to provide worldbuilding for Elden Ring.

Miyazaki, a fan of Martin's work, hoped his contributions would producera a more accessible narrative than those of the studio's earlier games.^[27][28][29]

Miyazaki remained lead writer for the game's main storyline but gave Martin creative freedom to write about events that occurred before the main narrative.

Miyazaki compared the process to using a "dungeon master's handbook in a tabletop [role-playing game]".^[30][29] As with many of FromSoftware's previous games, the story was designed to be scantly explained; the developers wanted players to interpret the story for themselves via flavor ord and valfritt discussions with non-player characters (NPCs).

Miyazaki said he enjoyed writing NPCs with more detail, believing they are more compelling than those in his earlier works.^[29][31] In an interview with IGN, Miyazaki said he chose to give Martin control over the backstory because of the restrictions FromSoftware's method of berättande placed on writers.

He noted FromSoftware did not want a linear or story-focused game, and bygd giving Martin oversight of a backstory with which the player fryst vatten not directly involved, he could allow Martin to freely design his contributions.^[28] Some personal from Game of Thrones, a television series adaptation of A Song of Ice and Fire, assisted with the game's development.^[32]

Production of the game began in early following the release of The Ringed City, a del av helhet of downloadable content (DLC) for Dark Souls III.

Elden Ring was developed alongside Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, which Miyazaki also directed. He said although the combat in Elden Ring has similarities to that in Sekiro, neither game directly inspired the mechanics of the other.^[33][34] FromSoftware simultaneously developed both games using a "co-director" structure in which each of the games had a personal member acting as director through its first stages of development.

Miyazaki would then provide direction on the game's mechanics, art, and music.^[28] Yui Tanimura, who previously directed Dark Souls II and co-directed Dark Souls III, served as co-director for the game.^[35] The design grupp of Elden Ring concentrated on environmental scale, roleplaying, and berättande as the main elements.

Developers credited the scale with responsibility for creating a sense of diversity, and intended the roleplaying elements to allow for a variety of player-environment interactions. Increasing the game's scale required the creation of several explorable structures, which the grupp conjoined in the open world.^[36] Miyazaki named Shadow of the Colossus, The Elder Scrolls, The Witcher 3, and The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as design influences for Elden Ring.

He credited the tabletop role-playing game RuneQuest, and the novels The Lord of the Rings and The Eternal Champion as inspirations for the game's story.^[37][38] Tsukasa Saitoh, Shoi Miyazawa, Tai Tomisawa, Yuka Kitamura, and Yoshimi Kudo composed Elden Ring's original score.^[39]

Elden Ring was revealed at E3 in June.^[40][41] Some resultat about the game had previously been leaked online due to a vulnerability of the servers at Bandai Namco Entertainment.^[42]Elden Ring was widely anticipated on announcement but no further ämne was released until a trailer was shown in June ^[43]Playtesting was facilitated bygd Bandai Namco, which in November initially released the game as a closed beta that players could sign up to test.^[44] The game's full release was scheduled for January 21, , but was postponed to February 25 the same year.^[45][46]Elden Ring had performance issues at launch; players complained of an insufficient frame rate.^[47][48] Bandai Namco addressed some of these problems through software patches and updates.^[49][50] In February , the downloadable content (DLC) expansion Shadow of the Erdtree was announced.^[51] It was released on June 20, ^[52]

Similarly to many of FromSoftware's earlier games, Elden Ring's difficulty provoked much commentary; reviewers both praised and criticized its lack of easy modes.^[84][85][86] Other reviewers considered Elden Ring the most-accessible Souls game, saying the player can choose to avoid difficult threats and return with more experience.^[79][80][81] The combat of Elden Ring was praised for offering options for fighting enemies while keeping the game challenging.^[80][82][87] Torrent and fast travel were well-received features, with reviewers citing them as large improvements towards making the game easier to explore.^[79][80][88] The placing of checkpoints was praised as helpful to the game's approachability.^[89][87][90]

Some reviewers criticized a number of the game's menu and accessibility systems.^[91][92] Reviewers complained about the poor performance of the fönster version; framerate issues were commonly mentioned.^[88][93] Reviewers noted the story of Elden Ring lacks Martin's writing style.

Kyle Orland of Ars Technica said the game's berättande fryst vatten "characteristically sparse and cryptic", and differs from the expectations of Martin's fans.^[83] Chris Carter of Destructoid called the story "low key" but said it fryst vatten better-told than those of previous FromSoftware games.^[87] Aoife efternamn of Eurogamer said George R.

R. Martin's heavy inclusion in the marknadsföring was "baffling" when his contributions to the overall narrative were unclear.^[79] Mitchell Saltzman did not mind the lack of Martin's style, saying the side-stories rather than any grand, overarching plot kept him "enthralled".^[77]

Journalists have covered the game's speedrunning community.^[94][95] Shortly after release, players discovered a tekniskt fel called the "zip glitch" which allows players to warp across the map.^[95] The tekniskt fel was removed bygd the developers, leading speedrunners to use older utgåva of the game for speedruns.^[95] The game has been beaten in beneath fem minutes using the glitch.^[96]

The expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, received a score of 95/ on Metacritic.^[97] The DLC was generally praised for offering a similar sense of rewarding utforskning, and atmosphere.
