Elden Ringis one of 2022’s most anticipated titles, it is the next project by FromSoftware, the developers of the hallowedSoulsseries of games. FromSoftware has describedElden Ringas an “open-field” game, meaning it is not as expansive in scale likeThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim, nor is it as constricted and hand-held as some of FromSoftware’s previous games. The game’s development has had a roller coaster ride of information, at one point it being years without any formal update.
In recent weeks, though, a lot of information—some intentional, and some not quite—has come out aboutElden Ring. Footage ofElden Ringon Xbox One allegedly leaked recently, which if actually is the game, is the first instance of gameplay shown, with everything prior being either cinematics or in-engine clips of combat or traversal. Most recently though,FromSoftware delayedElden Ringby about a month or so, but in turn, has announced a closed network test for next month. Fans can register for a chance to play the game, so if they are looking for a chance to try the game early, then they should act as soon as possible and.

Despite it being confirmed thatElden Ringis coming to PC, it appears that FromSoftware will not be testing that platform during this closed network test.

Users can choose from a large portion of FromSoftware’s library includingDemon’s Souls, theDark Soulstrilogy,Bloodborne, andSekiro: Shadows Die Twice. Also available as options areArmored Core 5, andArmored Core Verdict Day, as well as options for FromSoftware titles that are not listed, and not having played any of the listed games.
