Elden Ring, a joint project of the Japanese studio FromSoftware (creators of Dark Souls) and George R.R. Martin, has finally been released on February 25 on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
Elden Ring is a third-person fantasy role-playing action game that differs from the studio's previous games because it has an open world that offers more freedom to explore.

Players will experience a large-scale, full of danger and mystery journey through the Lands Between – and battle with former heroes turned monsters.
