The worldbuilding of this massive open-world game was in charge of George R. R. Martin himself, creator of the popular “Game of Thrones” saga, and it was directed by Hideataka Miyazaki.
Moreover, this game presented through a third-person perspective and with players freely roaming in locations such as dungeons, catacombs, and caves was highlighted by Tesla TSLA and Twitter’s CEO, Elon Musk, as “incredible art.”

It’s worth noting that “Elden Ring” also turned out to be the most “retired” game, as per HowLongToBeat.com.
The platform recorded that 261 players quit the video game and we can understand why: gamers would have to invest around 130 hours to complete “Elden Ring” and it’s logical that with so many people playing, also a considerable amount might consider giving up.
