A lot of mysteries have been answered since that first trailer was shown, and you can be sure that From Software will hold all the really serious reveals until release. And we wouldn\u2019t want it any other way, the journey going through From Software\u2019s epic action RPGs is one that should never be spoiled. However, a fresh look at some top-level mechanics and features is something that can\u2019t hurt to be armed with going into battle. In this video feature, we break down things that have already been seen \u2013 in a whole new light. Come join us!<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>Elden Ring takes aspects of all of the previous Souls titles, Bloodborne, and even Sekiro, and turns them into something special inside a huge open world. Not to get too far away from its roots, core dungeon crawling is still very much a part of the experience, with a vast area to explore outside of the carefully curated looping levels. Explore with up to two other players, as well as a retinue of summonable spirits and your loyal spirit steed.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span><span>What do you\u00a0think about Elden Ring?<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><em>If comments are still showing as disabled, a site update is happening on our side that has caused a temporary takedown.
