Elden Ring hasn’t been out for long, but enough time has passed that we’re now starting to see a little bit of datamining and the sort of complex digging through game files that reveals entirely cut content, older versions of existing areas/systems – and, of course, removed mechanics.
All FromSoftware games go through this after launch, but considering the sheer scale and scope of Elden Ring compared to the studio’s earlier work, the wealth of information game code might hide has many in the community giddy with excitement.
But perhaps more interesting than that, a version of that mechanic actually existed in the game’s November 2021 Network Test. Using a modded PS4, McDonalnd was able to break through the boundaries of that build, and free the camera to compare and contrast with the final version of the game.
