[Mis à jour le 21 février 2022 à 11h04] If there was any fear of disappointment after months or even years of seething anticipation for Elden Ring, it would seem that is not the case. The latest product from From Software games has won one of the best overall ratings in the history of the video game world, with a score exceeding 95/100 after several dozen international reviews. The press is full of praise for this game, which some like Jason Schreier, respected journalist at Bloomberg, have called “one of the best games ever made”. And in all this, there are still the players, who will have to wait a few more hours before the release of the one that is on track to become GOTY (game of the year). To help you wait, we’ve summarized everything you need to know about Elden Ring, including its release time.

You will have to wait for the February 25, 2022 at midnight bang before you can get your hands on the long-awaited RPG on all platforms. Seasoned veterans, lovers of challenges, or intrepid neophytes can on this date embark on the Underworld, and try to defeat the descendants of Marika in order to reunite the fragments of the circle of Elden. An adventure on a path that promises to be winding and very perilous. Good news, Bandai Namco has also chosen to release Elden Ring on older generation consoles. It will therefore come out on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S and PC thus not making anyone jealous.

Elden Ring is an open-world game that the player can explore at will while performing side quests and following the main plot. The game also includes multiplayer aspects, up to four players.

As for its story, Elden Ring takes place in a whole new universe, from the imagination of none other than George RR Martin. Interviewed by the American newspaper WWTW, the author of Game of Throne confirmed his involvement in the project throughout its many years of development. He claimed to have shaped the Elden Ring universe in great detail to provide developers with a solid foundation for their game development. Given the complexity and originality of the universes George RR Martin is able to create, one can expect high-flying storytelling. If we add that to the inventiveness and the graphic quality to which the From Software teams have accustomed us, Elden Ring could very quickly earn its place alongside the excellent Bloodborne, Demon’s Souls or Sekiro. Moreover, George RR Martin himself claimed to be impatient to discover the game. The story of Elden Ring is this:
