ELDEN RING Standard 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. The Standard Edition is the base game with every free update. Shadow of the Erdtree is not included and is sold separately. Keys activate on Steam or Xbox.
