Elden Ring in Tekken: the mod is sensational, but Harada asks modders to stop it

Elden Ring in Tekken

Just this morning we talked about how the Elden Ring community has become very fond of FromSoftware's recent work. With the success that the game is getting, even the modder community is indulging in creating content of various kinds. The latest mod, however, is something sensational and allows you to play the beloved Tekken 7 as some of the most iconic recent FromSoftware characters.



As can be seen on Twitter , there is a modder who has recently introduced many of the characters and bosses that can be encountered in Elden Ring into Tekken 7. The models featured in this new mod have been recreated taking into account all the details, armor, weapons and equipment that make them unique and recognizable, and this makes this mod one of the best currently on the square.

Um… Sure, Elden is a Bandai Namco-funded title, and I was the production general manager in charge of Elden, so it's not irrelevant… it's ridiculously well-made mod but plz stop it lol https: // t. co / ISlXLrjfhM

In the mod there are several playable characters, and among them are: Melina, Malenia, Alexander, Radahn, Ranni, a giant lobster and many other bosses and NPCs that we have come to know very well in Elden Ring .

Tekken Modder Adds Elden Ring Characters and the Director Says 'Plz Stop It'

A new mod for Tekken 7 has added Elden Ring fan favorites to the roster, but Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada has mixed feelings about it.


Created by Ultraboy, the Elden Ring Modpack replaces several standard Tekken fighters with a variety of Elden Ring characters – including Melina, Ranni, and our favorite Pot Boy, Alexander.


A video of the impressive mod has already gone viral, showcasing just how detailed the characters appear in the game.


Honestly, it’s impressive stuff. But Tekken director Katsuhiro Harada isn’t quite so impressed.


“Um... Sure, Elden is a Bandai Namco-funded title, and I was the production general manager in charge of Elden, so it's not irrelevant ... it's ridiculously well-made mod but plz stop it lol,” he said via Twitter.


When asked if he meant to stop the mod or stop telling him about it, he replied that a lot of people are assuming the mod is official.


“U probably don't know, but there r surprisingly many ppl who think this is official one or make various misunderstandings & contact us,” he said. “I DON'T say anything for ur personal enjoyment, but I want u to know that there r ppl in ur community who make noise based on misunderstandings.”


So, if you do happen to be playing this wildly-unofficial Tekken mod, just don’t tell Katsuhiro Harada about it.


The mod itself replaces Tekken characters for its Elden Ring counterparts. For example, Melina replaces Lidia, Malenia replaces Kunimitsu, and Ranni the Witch replaces Kazumi. Hilariously, a big old lobster replaces Heihachi, while Alexander the Iron Fist (or Pot Boy to his pals) replaces Gigas.


Elden Ring has already seen its fair share of mods itself, with modders adding a new easy mode for those of us who aren’t used to the relentless slog of a Souls-like.


Meanwhile, a hidden pause function has been found in the game which doesn’t require a mod. Want to read more about Elden Ring? Check out our beginner’s guide for all the basics as well as our hints, secrets, and tips to survive.
