Elden Ring is an action RPG developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco Entertainment, released in February 2022. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, with world-building contributions from novelist George R. R. Martin, the game features an expansive open world called the Lands Between.

It offers deep lore, complex characters, and an interconnected world filled with secrets, dungeons, and powerful bosses.
