There is, however, another line of games with an even more dubious future. If it’s taken From Software this long to make any moves on Bloodborne 2, odds are good that Dark Souls 4 won’t be seen for a really long time, if ever. That seems ironic, since Dark Souls is arguably From Software’s most famous and impactful franchise, seeing tremendous sales and defining the genre of Soulslike games. Bloodborne’s gravitas might be getting in the way of Dark Souls anyway, for even though From Software seems to be avoiding sequels in general lately, Dark Souls 4 seems much farther away than Bloodborne 2....

FromSoftware has released a new trailer for Elden Ring that highlights combat within these Colosseums. The PVP community has long been active—in fact, Elden Ring’s PVP has certain unwritten rules many players follow—and now they’ll be able to participate in PVP another way.

Elden Ring is proving to be rare, even among incredibly well-reviewed games. That’s because Elden Ring has been extremely hyped not just by the FromSoftware fanbase, but across the industry. It’s been a major focus at events including The Game Awards, winning both 2020 and 2021’s Most Anticipated Game awards. It has trended on Twitter enough times that it’s difficult to keep count. Even amid launches including Pokemon Legends: Arceus and Horizon Forbidden West, Elden Ring has kept the spotlight....

YouTuber Iron Pineapple wanted to see if it was possible to beat Elden Ring without directly attacking any enemies, and as it turns out, it can be done. Iron Pineapple shared their incredible Elden Ring pacifist run in a video that explained how exactly they managed to pull it off. It should be noted that the Elden Ring bosses still technically have to die for players to complete the game, but the player character doesn’t have to be the one to directly deal damage....

The Fire Giant is the crux of much discourse surrounding the critically acclaimed open world RPG, with some considering the last known survivor of the war waged against Giants to be a colossal visual spectacle, while others believe it to mark a decline in the balance and quality of Elden Ring. No matter one’s disposition, the Fire Giant presents an inescapable barrier of red locks, fire-imbued limbs, and some of the highest damage dealt thus far in a playthrough....

What makes this Elden Ring dungeon so difficult is the fact that players do not only have to deal with the pesky Imps usually found underground, but also some Burial Watchdogs. These enemies normally serve as bosses at the end of dungeons, so the fact that they serve as regular obstacles in these Catacombs can make the area a chore to get through. Unfortunately, they proved to be too much to handle for Reddit user soyunrobot, as the Redditor found themselves stuck within the Giants’ Mountaintop Catacombs for “too long....

For those that may not be aware, Martin is best known for his epic fantasy novels A Song of Ice and Fire that would eventually go on to spawn the hit television show Game of Thrones. Though the books had their fair share of supporters, they really kicked off after Game of Thrones’ success, cementing George R.R. Martin as one of the greats and helping him get a spot on the team for Elden Ring....

RELATED: Elder Scrolls Online: Every Trial, Ranked They certainly have more personality than some old and decrepit scrolls; plus, they don’t shove their importance in the players’ faces via the main quest every five minutes. No, players seek Daedric Artifacts because they want to. Also, wherever Daedric Artifacts are present, one can bet that something interesting is going to happen. So, hopefully, the Elder Scrolls 6, when it is released, will feature these Daedric Artifacts again....

The scale of the alleged plagiarism is expansive. Leitman produced a slideshow presentation comparing selections from each text showing that while The Elder Scrolls Online adventure replaces certain words and names, it otherwise copies The Black Road sentence by sentence for its entirety. One NPC proper name is even copied verbatim between the two. Looking at the materials Leitman produced, it’s very understandable that Bethesda responded so quickly to the accusations....

The Discovery stat directly correlates to how “lucky” players might be when farming for drops and there are ways for players to increase this stat. Players that increase their levels in Arcane will naturally grow their Discovery stat, but those that aren’t speccing into the statline can raise their Discovery in other ways....

First, they’ll need to unlock the mysterious seal that guards them, by using a special Imp Statute nearby. Unfortunately, regular Stonesword Keys won’t work on these special statues, they’ll only accept Imbued Sword Keys. There are three of these special keys to be found in Elden Ring....

Elden Ring PvP has been marred by AFK rune farmers. For those who may not be familiar with the practice, Elden Ring AFK rune farming is when players hide in out-of-reach spots so that when invaders are summoned in, they either die trying to reach the AFK player or give up and leave. In either case, the Elden Ring host player who was AFK rune farming gets rewarded with a healthy number of runes despite doing nothing to earn them....

The dataminer who goes by Sekiro Dubi recently discovered that there might be a potential cut questline for Festering Fingerprint Vyke. In the latest video, the dataminer reveals that Vyke is the character who is on the game’s very cover. Hence, it is quite a surprise to many that FromSoftware might have chosen to cut out the questline of the very NPC on the poster. In the game’s final version, the Elden Ring Tarnished face Vyke twice....

As Elden Ring players on PlayStation and Xbox know, the game doesn’t really feature an option to quit the game. There is a “Quit Game” option stuffed into Elden Ring’s settings, but it’s only a half measure. Clicking on the Quit Game button will exit the session but will only take players to Elden Ring’s main menu. From there, there’s no actual option to fully exit the game. Players have to go to their console home screen and shut the game down through the system....

Mobility exploits have already been found in Elden Ring, supplying speedrunners with potential strategies to improve upon their times.

Bleach was one of the biggest shonen anime of the last two decades, and for good reason. The series featured some of the shonen genre’s most terrifying villains, incredibly high stakes, and a massive cast of vivid characters. Its protagonist, Ichigo, personified many of its themes regarding conviction, overcoming grief, and doing whatever you have to in order to keep those you love safe.

It even says something when considering, at The Game Awards, FromSoftware’s previous game Sekiro won Game of the Year 2019 and God of War won in 2018. Either way, Elden Ring has proven to be a game fans can play time and again to discover something new, and God of War Ragnarok could very well give it a run for its money. Both are likely to retain players for quite some time....
