ELDEN RING: Shadow of the Erdtree Deluxe Edition

ELDEN RING is FromSoftware's open-world game, built on the combat and structure of the Dark Souls series with worldbuilding contributed by George R. R. Martin. You play a Tarnished, returned to the Lands Between to gather the shards of the Elden Ring and become Elden Lord. What the open world changes is that a wall is no longer a wall. A boss you cannot beat can be left for later while you ride Torrent somewhere else, find a weapon that suits you better, and come back at a level the fight was not designed for. Underneath it the systems are familiar: stamina-based combat, flexible stat and weapon scaling, spirit summons, ashes of war, and legacy dungeons as dense and vertical as anything the studio has built. Co-op allows two summoned allies at a time, and PvP runs through invasions, duels and the Colosseum. The Shadow of the Erdtree expansion added the Land of Shadow, a large late-game region. It won Game of the Year in 2022. This is the fullest package: the base game, the Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, the digital artbook and the original soundtrack together in one key, available for Steam and Xbox.
