FromSoftware’s latest game, Elden Ring, releases on February 25, 2022. The upcoming game from the creators of Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and Sekiro will feature a brand new open world, and plenty of other gameplay features both new and familiar to longtime Soulsborne fans. Here’s everything you need to know about Elden Ring.
Elden Ring is the latest game from FromSoftware – creators of Demon’s Souls, Dark Souls, Bloodborne, and of course, King’s Field. The game takes the basic action RPG mechanics of Dark Souls, but introduces a brand new open world that completely changes things up.
Similar to the Soulsborne games, as of the closed Beta, players will be able to choose from a number of starting classes, with stats they’ll be able to upgrade as they level up, allowing for a level of freedom in creating your own builds. The starting classes thus far are Vagabond, Warrior, Hero, Bandit, Astrologer, Prophet, Samurai, Prisoner, Confessor, and Wretch – with Wretch being the level 1 build.
Stats you can choose to upgrade with each level are: Vigor, Mind, Endurance, Strength, Dexterity, Intelligence, Faith, and Arcane. This means, similar to prior Soulsborne games, you’ll have the freedom to choose between Strength, Quality, Dex, and varying magic builds – or any merger of those.
Leveling up is only possible after meeting your first finger maiden, Melina; once you have met her, you’ll be able to level up at any of the game’s Sites of Grace – which act similar to bonfires from the Souls games.
At the Sites of Grace, you’ll be able to manage your Estus Flasks, and – like Dark Souls 3 – you’ll have a variety of Estus Flask types. You’ll have ones that refill your HP, ones that refill your FP, or Focus Points that allow you to cast magic, and a brand new Flask of Wondrous Physick, which is a customizable estus flask that will give you varying attributes depending on what crystal tears you equip to it.
You’ll also be able to upgrade how many Estus Flask uses you get by using special Golden seeds. If you recall from the game’s trailer, there are giant golden Erd Trees throughout the game, that are clearly significant. There are also smaller, lesser Erd Trees you can find throughout the game’s map. At these lesser Erd Trees, you’ll find special golden seeds, which are exactly what you need to upgrade your estus flask uses. The number of seeds you need will change as you upgrade your flask, and this isn’t the only way to obtain these seeds. Additionally, you can upgrade the recovery strength of your estus flasks.

anyone know the name of this game??
Anyone choosing the Perverted class?
If Breath of The Wild 2 does not release this year than Elden Ring will 100% win GOTY
Want to play, but gave up with Souls 3. Not sure if I'll like this.
I want the uchi!
So, no combos or stances? Just the heavy, dodge, dodge combat formula… I’m glad I didn’t waste my money.
HOW can you forget to mention Sekiro!?
I want all spoilers!!! I’m playing this like an MMO!
@1:39 this man really sitting ON the site of grace lol
If it's as hard as Dark Souls, I'm not interested. I play games to have fun, not get stressed out. So far, I'm having a blast with Horizon Forbidden West. Has the magic balance of difficulty, combat and exploration. I'm really enjoying leveling up my character. I fear that in Elden Ring, I'd keep losing all my character development because of the constant dying.
That spectral steed seems like it was taken directly from the Skeleton Knight in Berserk! I wonder of George R Martin is a Berserk fan?
10/10 ?
Is this game not hdr?
ima be the wretch.
Appreciate it, just bought the preorder. 🔥🔥
On Xbox SX will it be 4k 60fps ray tracing?
Great vid Dave
You’re just feeding on my need for elden ring
Samurai! You'll be my character 👍
There's a bunch of nerds and geeks in the comments 😂
These are incredible changes from FS that i never had expected!! I am even more excited now!
I feel that Elden Ring will be both the easiest and hardest Souls like game so far. Not cause of difficulty. In terms of making things easier, just that it gives you more ways and tools to get the job done. But dials up the challenge abit more to balance things out. I feel that the Original games were too challenging for me cause of their linear nature and more based on pure skill etc. While this game, is basically the first of the series to branch out and try and welcome many other types of players new to the franchise but in a more accessible way than many games before did. Ive never pre ordered a souls game before. But im taking a chance with Elden Ring. This game has turned someone like me, who absolutely HATED souls games, into someone who is willing to finally give it a shot.
Never played a souls game before but I pre-ordered this. Looks really good
you said "first finger maiden" so there will be others???
I’m that weird type of player where I absolutely LOVE Souls borne games but I am ABSOLUTELY Terrible at Souls Bourne games..
Most of em im in world 1 and can’t make it to or past the 2nd boss. But I love it.
I want to pick this up but at this point what’s the point? I’m basically spending 70$ on Demos haha
Hi dones anybody knows if there is towns and city in the game like witcher and fable where you can buy and sell item, weapons and armour.
finger maidens XD
god bless gaming
Never played any game from this company. Is this mostly single play? Are dungeons group play with dedicated rolls ie. Tank, Healer, DPS or is it just hack and slash and is there an end game ie. Trials/Raids. Is this more like a Skyrim/Oblivion/Morrowwind type game or an Elder Scrolls Online game?
I have to be honest..I'm new to this type of game and I just have a question…Will this game be too hard for me? To me there is nothing worse in a game then battling a boss for an hour or two because you can't beat it. I tend to get frustrated..I really wish this game has levels of difficulty. Anyway, do you all think this game will be too difficult for a new comer?
Them: Bows might actually be viable
Me: Well boys, I know what I'm building towards.
Are you able to zoom out in Elden Ring? I’ve always hated you couldn’t in souls games
so outdated
Does hp or fp regenerate?
Mage warrior
Everyone throws in Kings Field when listing FromSoftware stuff but no one mentions Frame Gride which is their best game ever.
Is this games gameplay gonna be as hard as dark souls or will the gameplay be easier to get through?
what is the name of the song at the beginning?
When you say “crafting is new to Elden ring” , or“This is new to elden ring “, perhaps you mean new to “Souls” games. This stuff isn’t new to Elden ring since it’s developed for it, and isn’t an add on or update.
Great job

There should be a difficulty setting that removes the Respawn Statues. I think that would add difficulty as well as make the game behave closer to previous titles.
Not that this is a major issue to me but I have been seeing some complaints about it.
Iff IT Come to switch i buy IT because its my only console i got switch lite
