Bandai Namco’s Tales series had been waning in recent years before Arise proved to be the shot in the arm the series needed. Tales of Arise is the developer’s most ambitious game in the series yet, expanding its scope to great effect. The game follows a man and woman from opposition factions joining each other on a quest to end a centuries-old age of conquest and imperialism over the l
FromSoftware has not confirmed that their games take place in the same continuity, but they’ve done a remarkable job of keeping the themes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne in **Elden Ring ** alive. The mastermind behind most of the Soulslike games, Hidetaka Miyazaki, has notably been averse to sequels, which may explain why there has not yet been a Bloodborne 2 . Despite this, the studio seems to deliberately include Easter eggs and references that fuel speculation of a shared unive
The boss fight against Starscourge Radahn , the culmination of a festival of war organized by the Witcher Hunter Jerren NPC, takes the NPC summoning mechanic of Soulslike games up to 11 in Elden Ring . The game lets players repeatedly summon unfamiliar and familiar allies like Blaidd to battle the red-maned, gravity-controlling Demigod. Besides player-friendly NPCs such as Iron Fist Alexander or mute NPCs such as Great Horned Tragoth, players can also summon Patches (NPC) , the cowardly, fast-talking, and hairless FromSoftware NPC that has been backstabbing players and kicking them off ledges since Demon’s Sou
The description for the Sun Realm Shield reads: ” Shield of honor depicting a city crowned by the sun. It has seen better days. Much like the wear upon the shield, the Seat of the Sun is long faded away. ” This is possibly a nod to Anor Londo, the capital city of Lordran from the first Dark Souls . In the lore, Anor Londo was the seat of Gwyn, Lord of Sunlight, for ages after he and the other Lords discovered the Lord Souls during the advent of f
While some felt its transition wasn’t ambitious enough, the game was widely praised for its sprawling and classical fantasy story, colorful cast of characters, and traditional turn-based combat mechanics. It’s arguably the best mainline Dragon Quest for beginn
Elden Ring is a game with a seemingly endless list of characters, armor sets, and weapons to discover. With what’s to offer, fans can go on making cosplay outfits for a while, and if DLC ever comes, it’ll introduce more ways to create potentially popular cosplays. Other side characters have already received a lot of love from fans on Reddit and other online spaces; the Pastor of Vows, Mirel, even got an adorable Elden Ring turtle Pope cosplay from user AwkwardBob-omb . One character in need of a good cosplay is Starscourge Radahn; fans have already created a ton of incredible fan art for him, but now it’s time he receives a good imitator, as he’s one of the most prominent characters in all of **Elden Ring ** ‘s l
Divinity: Original Sin II rewards player choice, with countless meaningful narrative decisions to shape the protagonist and NPC party members, engaging turn-based combat, and a dense fantasy world filled with lore and worldbuilding. The Definitive Edition has also made the game more accessible than ever without sacrificing de
Malenia, Blade of Miquella is the most imitated Elden Ring character. She’s quite possibly the toughest boss FromSoftware has ever created, and she processes a dynamic aesthetic that’s unmatched. While there are plenty of custom designs out there, one particularly beautiful Elden Ring Malenia cosplay got FromSoftware’s approval . Twitter user Sparrowhawk Cosplay released images that highlighted Malenia’s best attributes, and they did it in a way that showed off an ultra-realistic and highly-detailed version of the Goddess of Rot. This cosplayer custom makes their own designs, making the costume even more impressive, warranting the amount of traction it got onl
Elden Ring ‘s world of the Lands Between is a chaotic place full or perils and hazards, but also strangely tranquil in certain ways. The titular Elden Ring , a magical rune forged to impose a certain metaphysical order on reality, is shattered but stable, while the shard-bearing Demigods and their armies have fought each other to exhaustion and/or death. Unlike in Dark Souls and Demon’s Souls , there is no approaching apocalypse or calamity in Elden Ring characters are desperately trying to avert or bring about; as a result, many of the Tarnished Non-Player Characters in the Lands Between have the time and space to pursue long-term ambitions, embark on long journeys to different locations, darkdrift knight everdark Sovereign and leave summon signs for the player’s lowly Tarnished character to find in Elden Ri
Scattered across The Lands Between are seven paintings that are tied to scavenger hunt quests. These puzzles require the player to find the locations from which each painting was made. When the correct places are found, the player will discover Wandering Artist Spirits. Upon interaction with the spirits, they drop a unique item and disappear. Fans of the Dark Souls series will almost certainly think of the Painted Worlds whenever they come across interact-able paintings in FromSoftware’s Soulsborne gam
