Elden Ring

The game in which FromSoftware opened up its Souls formula, turning difficulty into a constant invitation to explore elsewhere.

With Elden Ring, FromSoftware transposes its demanding action RPG formula into the vast Lands Between, an open world where exploration, discovery and freedom of progression profoundly reshape the formula inherited from the Souls games. Released in 2022, it became the studio’s greatest commercial success and one of the most highly awarded games of its generation.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree

FromSoftware draws the Tarnished into an even denser, more vertical and more hostile Land of Shadow, following in Miquella's footsteps and uncovering a history the Lands Between had carefully buried.

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree is Elden Ring's major expansion. It opens the Land of Shadow, a new territory marked by Miquella, Messmer and a forgotten war, while adding new bosses, weapons, spells, equipment and progression systems. FromSoftware condenses the strengths of its open world into a more compact, vertical and deliberately demanding adventure.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

CD Projekt RED turns the search for Ciri into a vast journey through a dark fantasy world where the monsters hardest to understand are not always the ones Geralt is paid to hunt.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt follows Geralt of Rivia across a war-torn Continent as he searches for Ciri, his adopted daughter, pursued by the Wild Hunt. Between monster contracts, political intrigue, choices whose consequences can surface much later and exceptionally developed side stories, CD Projekt RED builds an open-world RPG that has become one of the genre's major references.
