Elden Ring, one of the most anticipated video games for the first part of the year, has achieved ‘Gold’ status. This means that the game is now complete and can begin shipping at wholesale level for an expected global release. on February 25, 2022. Until then, the developers will spend their time polishing the experience for the usual ‘zero-day’ patch that is often released alongside the game itself.
«Arise, Lightless, and may grace guide you to embrace the power of the Elden Circle and rise as lord of the Circle in the Midlands.“… This is promoting an action role-playing game set in a fantasy world created by developer Hidetaka Miyazaki and novelist George RR Martin. Two important characters taking into account previous works, the best known respectively, the Souls game saga and the adaptation of the A Song of Ice and Fire novels to the Game of Thrones series.
Miyazaki already commented on the influences of the Demon’s Souls and Bloodborne trilogy on the game and that George RR Martin’s contribution would be greater than we might think. Elden Ring promises a large open world built from scratchcombining fantasy landscapes of different environments (plains, mountains or swamps) and a good number of dungeons to overcome and connected in a fluid and seamless way with the general map.
A world that can be explored on foot or on horseback, alone or online with other players, who can create the main character to suit you, through a wide range of weapons, magical powers, abilities and other elements that can be created after finding them when exploring the length and breadth of the world. There will be stealth for those who do not want to jump into combat head-on and we will have allies to ask for help.
In the technical section, taking into account that its graphics engine is the same as the one used for Dark Souls III, we do not expect a revolution, although the game looks quite good in the previews and more than superlative graphics what we ask for in «play» with capital letters.

After quite a few delays than expected, they say due to COVID, the game is finished. From the FromSoftware studio chaired by Miyazaki they have taken advantage of the Taipei Game Show 2022 event to announce the ‘gold’ phase, they have published new video and images and commented on additional details such as the game time.
The main campaign of Elden Ring will be able to be overcome in just 30 hours Producer Yasuhiro Kitao explained. However, that will only be part of the game, as it will feature «many dozens» of hours of additional content. What’s more, “technically it will be impossible to reach 100% in the first game» for the different endings that the game offers. To this we must add the replayability of this type of game and like other FromSoftware titles, once the game is complete you can take your team to the beginning and play again this time against boosted enemies.
Elden Ring will be available on February 25 for PCs, PlayStation 4 and 5, and Xbox One and Series X|S. It has a base price of 59 euros and special, premium and collector’s editions, which have been sold out for a long time. Very good looking.
