Elden Ring Has Been Delayed to February 2022; Closed Network Test to Be Held Next Month

Elden Ring has been delayed, and it will now release a month later than previously announced.

Today, From Software confirmed that their highly anticipated game will be released on February 25th, 2022 instead of January 21st as announced earlier this year. The game's depth and strategic freedom exceeded the initial expectations of the developer, thus requiring some additional development time.

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.
