Elden Ring Demo Information

The main objectives of the ELDEN RING network test were as follows

  • Verification of game server load
  • We will verify the gameplay with a large number of people connected at the same time and with a heavy load on the game server.
    Verification of multiplayer play
  • We will verify various problems that occur when players play multiplayer games with many players through different network environments, and various phenomena that occur when many people participate.
    Verification of game balance
  • We will verify the overall game balance in multiplay where players interfere or cooperate with each other.
    Game play
  • In the ELDEN RING network test, you will play as a pre-set player character, exploring fields and dungeons, fighting enemies, and playing online elements.
    Please note that the game data is still under development. There is a possibility that problems may occur during play, and we ask for your understanding and patience in advance.
