FromSoftware took a bit of a gamble with Elden Ring. Although the Dark Souls series had developed quite a cult following, some people were skeptical that the creators could replicate the franchise's success in an open-world setting. Thankfully, all that skepticism and doubt subsided once the anticipated release hit store shelves. Elden Ring managed to surpass expectations for many, developing a massive following and standing firm as one of the best titles that FromSoftware has ever created.
