Elden Ring Delayed, Release Date Postponed Until February

This one stings. This is not good news. For me anyway. I wrote recently about another title scheduled for release being delayed this year, and now the curse has been placed upon what I expect will quickly become my new favourite franchise; Elden Ring.

Elden Ring has been postponed until February 25, 2022, according to the game’s official Twitter account. In January, the action role-playing game was supposed to be released on PS5, PS4, Xbox Series X|S, and PC.

The delay occurred because “the depth and strategic flexibility of the game surpassed original expectations,” according to From Software.

Important message:

ELDEN RING will release on Feb 25, 2022, as the depth & strategic freedom of the game exceeded initial expectations. Thank you for your trust & patience. We look forward to seeing you experience the game in the Closed Network Test in Nov.

On another note though, which should tide you over for now. A limited time demo will run in the form of a closed network test between November 12^th and November 14^th. You can sign up here before November 1^st to try it out for yourself.

In the meantime, whilst waiting to hear more, try Bloodborne – GOTY, which also includes The Old Hunter’s DLC. Or grab the Demon’s Souls remaster to see the upgraded original that started the franchise. You can also pre-order the upcoming Elden Ring from our store!
