Elden Ring: Development is on the home stretch

Elden Ring

Elden Ring will be available for PC and consoles on January 21, 2022. But what is the current status of the project? Is the work going according to plan or is it likely to be postponed? The answer, which is certainly reassuring for many fans, came directly from From Software.

The responsible producer Yasuhiro Kitao spoke up in an interview with the Japanese magazine Famitsu. He explained that the development of Elden Ring (buy now € 53.36) is on the home stretch and the team would calmly continue to work on it. Kitao did not provide any further details. However, his statements in no way indicate that a delay is to be expected at this point in time.

The action role-playing game Elden Ring is a cooperation between From Software and the one for his novels "Das Lied von Feuer und Eis" "famous author George RR Martin. These served as a template for the popular TV series Game of Thrones. Although Martin contributed a lot of ideas, the story and concepts for the work on Elden Ring, the texts in the action role-playing game did not come from him, but from Hidetaka Miyazaki (From Software). Whether and how this will affect the storytelling of the game or even make it noticeable remains to be seen.

Elden Ring Reaches The Final Stages of Development

There is a massive fan base for FromSoftware. The folks that brought out the iconic Souls franchise have a brand new game in the works for fans called Elden Ring. This is a game fans have been waiting on for a few years now, and the development team over at Fromsoftware is just about done with the game. That should hopefully mean there are no unexpected delays that will pop up.


Elden Ring fans have been digging around for any clues to what the game will contain. We’ve seen fans point out similar markings on characters and slowly dissect the footage showcased so far. Recently, there was the Tokyo Game Show, and while Elden Ring didn’t make a grand appearance, there was a media event featuring Japanese media publication Famitsu. During the event, marketing and promotion manager Yasuhiro Kitao made a brief appearance. That’s when it was confirmed that the studio was nearly finished with the game.


With that said, Kitao did note that they are moving forward quietly while in the final stages of development. He later went on to reiterate some information about the game. For instance that this was a large map with several dungeons and mounts to traverse the area. Players would also expect a dark fantasy world with challenging combat, which fans of the development team have already anticipated.


Fortunately, we don’t have too much of a wait to endure. If the game is in the final stages of development, then FromSoftware’s Elden Ring might make it on schedule without any delays. Currently, the Elden Ring video game is set to launch next year, January 21, 2022. Meanwhile, players will be able to pick up a copy on the PC, PS4, PS5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S platforms.
