We're now about three months and a half away from Elden Ring, arguably one of the most anticipated games in the current release schedule.

The game is going to be huge for both From Software (developer) and Bandai Namco (publisher), as confirmed to GamesIndustry by Hervé Hoerdt (SVP of Digital, Marketing & Content at Bandai Namco Europe), who said Elden Ring is the companies' attempt to get an even bigger audience than the Dark Souls franchise.
