Previously Delayed From January 21, 2022

Originally, the game was slated to release on January 21, 2022, however, it was pushed back by a month for our current February 25 release. The message may be on the vague side but it clearly entails that more time was needed to polish the game hence our current deadline. It is still unknown whether the game will be pushed back further but several trailers are already out so further delays is highly unlikely.

Elden Ring Network Test Date

Ran From November 12 Up Until the 15

The Elden Ring Network test ran for 3 days from the twelfth of November up until the fifteenth. This is a short play period for chosen people to test out the game's network play.

Unavailable to PC Users

Xbox owners and Playstation owners get to play Elden Ring for a short amount of days if chosen to be able to participate on Elden Ring's Network test.

Unfortunately, PC users were completely unable to play the game at all as they were not included in the available players to join the game's Network test. This does not reflect the actual game's release and PC players will still be able to play the game on its actual release!
