Elden Ring will definitely kill you on Feb. 25, but it may also kill all but the strongest rigs.
Prepare to die like never before. After years of anticipation, Elden Ring finally delivers a new original entry in FromSoftware’s famous “Soulslike” series on February 25. You probably can’t wait to dive into this ambitious, uncompromising, open-world action-RPG, but you should first check to see if your computer can even handle this cutting-edge PC game. Why the Elden Ring Hype? Elden Ring is the next game from Hidetaka Miyazaki and FromSoftware, the developer behind Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro. That alone is more than enough reason for fans to be incredibly hyped. These games pioneered a beloved new genre of brutally punishing action-RPGs, and remain unmatched. After experimenting with Victorian European and feudal Japanese settings, Elden Ring looks to take the franchise back to the grim, medieval fantasy setting popularized by Dark Souls. That said, it is no mere retread. From what we’ve seen, Elden Ring’s world is far more open-ended and brimming with things to explore as you prepare to meet your doom.
