The Best PS5 Games for 2023

2. Elden Ring

An forthcoming action role-playing game called Elden Ring was created by Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware. The game was co-created by George R. R. Martin, author of the A Song of Ice and Fire book, and Hidetaka Miyazaki, director of the Dark Souls video game series (which was adapted into Game of Thrones). Since the game’s announcement in 2019, there has been a lot of discussion and interest among players, and the most recent gameplay footage shown at E3 2021 has further heightened the excitement.

Gameplay:

The open-world action role-playing game Elden Ring is said to be based in a Hidetaka Miyazaki and George R. R. Martin-made universe. Players will be able to explore the game’s expansive and seamless universe at their own pace. With a concentration on physical combat, evading, and blocking, the game’s combat system is claimed to be comparable to that of the Dark Souls series. Elden Ring, on the other hand, is rumoured to have more varied and dynamic fighting systems, as well as new skills like magic spells and horseback combat. Players will also have the ability to craft and upgrade weapons and armor to suit their playstyle.

Story and Setting:

Elden Ring’s story and setting have been kept largely under wraps, but we do know that it takes place in a world called The Lands Between. The game’s official website describes the world as “a place where the fabric between realms is thin and perilous.” Players will take on the role of a Tarnished, a character who has been exiled from The Lands Between and must return to it to find Elden Ring, a mysterious artifact that has been shattered and scattered across the world.

Graphics and Sound:

Elden Ring’s graphics and art design have been a major topic of discussion since the game’s announcement. The game’s world is said to be vast and varied, with diverse environments ranging from grassy plains to barren deserts and snow-covered mountains. The game’s enemies and bosses have also been shown to be incredibly detailed and imaginative, with FromSoftware’s signature grotesque and terrifying designs. The game’s sound design and music are also expected to be top-notch, with composer Yuka Kitamura returning to work on the game’s score.

Conclusion:

Overall, Elden Ring looks to be an incredibly promising game that is poised to deliver an immersive and challenging RPG experience. The game’s open-world setting, diverse combat mechanics, and imaginative world-building are sure to please fans of FromSoftware’s previous games, while the involvement of George R. R. Martin is likely to attract new fans to the series. The game’s release date has been set for February 25, 2022, and the hype for the game continues to grow with each new trailer and announcement.
