Table of Contents
Basic Information
ELDEN RING is an upcoming PC game from Bandai Namco Entertainment, under direct supervision of Hidetaka Miyazaki (Dark Souls and Bloodborne). The game is set in a new IP which isn’t directly connected to any other existing series. ELDEN RING is set to be released in 2019. There are no plans for a console release but there may be further information on that later.
Development Team
Hidetaka Miyazaki, best known for directing Dark Souls and Bloodborne, is leading development on Elden Ring. The game has no release date or platforms as of yet. As soon as more information is announced we’ll bring it to you right here! In case you missed it: Take a look at brand new Elden Ring screenshots!
Gameplay Mechanics
Elden Ring is a direct sequel to Dark Souls III, and you will play as one of four characters from that game: Siegward of Catarina, Anri of Astora, Yuria of Londor and Sieglinde of Catarina. The story of Elden Ring does not take place in Lordran or Lothric, but it uses locations from those games for lore reasons.
Details About The Setting
Elden Ring’s main setting is called the Imperial City, and it’s meant to represent one of the last bastions of humanity in a world that has been ravaged by war. As a bit of background, it was destroyed by dragons during said war between humans and dragons.
Why Is Elden Ring Not on PS4 Or Xbox One?
Elden Ring is not coming to PS4 or Xbox One. Elden Ring is being developed as a PC game first and foremost, which means that it will take full advantage of high-end hardware specifications such as bleeding-edge CPU and GPU technology. Due to these limitations, both platform holders’ current consoles are not able to provide an optimal experience for Elden Ring players.
Release Date Set For 2020 (Console Versions To Follow)
On Thursday during its press conference at E3 2019, Bandai Namco announced that Elden Ring will be coming to PC, PS4 and Xbox One in 2020. A release date hasn’t been set yet, but it’s still great news for gamers around the world as we await more details and information about Hidetaka Miyazaki’s next game.
Is Elden Ring the same as Dark Souls?
We’ve heard a lot of people wondering if Elden Ring is going to be Dark Souls III, but it seems pretty clear from everything we’ve seen so far that it isn’t. If anything, Elden Ring shares a name with Dark Souls (which could probably be changed) and maybe some specific themes. But other than that, they don’t have a lot in common at all.
