Elden Ring is an open-world action RPG in which exploration and combat carry a customisable character across the Lands Between. Players travel through an interconnected realm, uncover secrets, enter dungeons and battle powerful bosses. The world also has changing weather and a day-night cycle.
The player is a Tarnished, one of a group of exiles summoned back after the Shattering. Queen Marika has broken the Elden Ring and disappeared, leaving her demigod children fighting over its fragments. The Tarnished’s goal is to repair the Ring and become the Elden Lord.
