Elden Ring
Open-world action RPG · FromSoftware · Tokyo, Japan · 2022

An immense, demanding fantasy that lets a distant landmark become an evening’s purpose. The freedom is thrilling; the fights ask for patience.
A Tarnished traveller returns to the Lands Between, where a broken order has left rulers, ruins and strange creatures scattered across a vast realm. You decide which path to try, which equipment to master and when to leave a difficult encounter for later. A small cave may become a complete adventure, while the road to a distant castle can occupy several evenings. Exploration and combat are closely entwined. Optional online features can bring other players into the world, so an offline session is the simpler choice when you want to keep the journey entirely your own.
A session worth making time for
Pick one cave or nearby landmark. Explore its route, learn what is waiting there and return to a Site of Grace before choosing another destination.
The player it may suit
Adults who enjoy discovery, experimentation and demanding combat. Repeated defeats are part of the design, and the setting contains mature violence.
