Elden Ring

FromSoftware open world

Elden Ring is a 2022 action role-playing video game developed by FromSoftware, known for its punishing difficulty and open-world design.

The game achieved massive commercial and critical success, becoming a cultural touchstone for challenging gameplay: I finally beat Elden Ring after sixty hours.

Its mechanics have influenced the broader gaming vocabulary—being "Elden Ring hard" suggests extreme difficulty.
