During the ongoing 2022 Taipei Game Show, it was mentioned Fromsoftware’s upcoming title, Elden Ring, has gone gold. Given that the game is being released in about one month’s time, this was cutting it close. Still, it’s good to know that the game is being sent out to be distributed, and we’ll have it in our hands soon. That’s right, no more delays!
Also mentioned is that there is a day one patch that is currently being worked on.
Alongside the news, those who tuned into the Taipei Game Show show were treated to some footage of the game. This gameplay footage looks to be a mixture of new and old. The gameplay is narrated by the producer of Elden Ring, Yasuhiro Kitao, as he talked about developing the game, the games’ mechanics, and more. After that, he was kind enough to answer several questions regarding the game.
For those who were able to preorder the Elden Ring Premium Collector’s or Collector’s Editions, you know that it includes the statue of Melenia. This statue was shown briefly on camera during the show, for everyone to see. If you look into the distance, you can also see her helmet. Which is only included in the Elden Ring Premium Collector’s Edition. And we all know how rare those are and how badly Bandai Namco dropped the ball with those preorders.
Give that video a look below.
I already have my vacation time set, so I can do nothing but play Elden Ring when my copy arrives in my hands. Or at least that’s the plan. I still haven’t decided which version I’ll ultimately end up playing. But I’m leaning towards the PS5 version at first, and then moving over to the PC version — for the mods, of course. What you? Let us know in the comments!
Elden Ring releases on February 25, 2022, for the PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.
