Video game 2022

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
Video game 2024

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.
