As challenging as the gameplay is, players have taken to The Lands Between in droves, and it is reflective of the huge success of Elden Ring. According to the latest NPD numbers, Elden Ring is already the best-selling title of 2022 to date.
For the president and CEO of FromSoftware, Hidetaka Miyazaki, the fans’ support has been invaluable.
“It’s astonishing to see just how many people have been playing Elden Ring. I’d like to extend our heartfelt thanks on behalf of the entire development team. Elden Ring is based on a mythological story written by George R. R. Martin. We hope players enjoy a high level of freedom when adventuring through its vast world, exploring its many secrets and facing up to its many threats. Thank you for your continued support.”
