The past few years have seen more and more Soulslike titles rise to popularity, but there’s nothing quite like a FromSoftware title. Whether it’s theDark Soulsgames,the PS5 remake ofDemon’s Souls, or its latestSekiro: Shadows Die Twice, FromSoftware created and defined this genre with its brutal approach to combat, emphasis on passive, environmental storytelling, and a nice touch of dark fantasy. As such, the months and years fans went without news on its upcoming title,Elden Ring, was excruciating.
Slowly but surely, more and moreElden Ringnews is becoming available though. It’s likely to still keep a lot hidden until release, but the Closed Network test impressions were incredibly positive, the classes seem unique, and more is on the horizon. Now, at least for PlayStation fans, they know how much space they need forElden Ring.
