It seemed unimaginable a year ago, but Elden Ring is about to come out. The hotly anticipated spiritual sequel to FromSoftware’s famous Dark Souls franchise is only a month and a few weeks away, and fans are already hoping and preparing for another Soulslike hit. Elden Ring’s open world will evolve the formula pioneered in Demon’s Souls to a yet-unseen state without leaving the combat and customization that makes these games great behind.
