Sad to see From licensing their good name to someone like Tencent. Be prepared to see some predatory shovelware
You know there are people at tencent unironically thinking "People were happy with how unmonetized Elden Ring was. How can we monetize that satisfaction?"
Usually, the devs aren't thinking that, management is and that's what's shoveled downward. Still people at tencent, but I imagine it's not everyone ludicrously evil.
Still, this is a reminder not to get too attached to any particular developer. Doesn't matter how sincerely dedicated to producing fun and satisfying experiences From is: when Tencent talks, they have to listen.
My first instinct was to check if this was an Onion article...
I definitely didn't have Elden Ring gets a gotcha game on mobile on my 2024 bingo card.
I still don’t believe it’s not an Onion article. Absolutely daft.

FROM's and Elden Ring's good names will be forever tarnished with this bullshit. Even if, and it's a big if, this turns out to be a decent port it still feels really, really gross. This is really disappointing.
Should call it Elden Ring Ring Ring
Banana phone
I am very excited to not play this game.
I actually just ordered a physical copy the other day, I'm finally in the mood to play it. I was surprised it was $50 but still, NO RAGRETS.
I mean I also want cheaper games but if gtav and skyrim still sell for upwards of $40 or $50 then elden ring should be at least that much lol
Yeah, I don't mind it for Elden Ring. Souls games have their way of getting me to do back to back playthroughs, something I rarely do with most games, so I know I'm going to get my money's worth.
I guess it's cool that some people may be able to play the game when they wouldn't otherwise, but yeah I wouldn't be surprised if this ends up being shit.
I doubt is Elden Ring actually, probably is just the IP name with some of the assets toss over in a simplified version.
Yeah, and not even a simplified version like the Final Fantasy 15 for the Nintendo Switch. Probably just going to be a half assed thing.
Did they ate the Hard Drive?
I just threw up in my mouth a little
