Elden Ring Mobile: Rumors, Release Date, and DLC Update
Will Elden Ring be available on mobile soon?
Elden Ring is one of the most popular games of 2022, winning multiple awards and accolades for its immersive world, challenging combat, and rich lore. The game, developed by FromSoftware and published by Bandai Namco, is currently available on PC, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. But what about mobile gamers? Will they ever get to experience the epic adventure of Elden Ring on their phones or tablets?
Elden Ring mobile game in development
According to a recent report by Reuters, Tencent, the Chinese tech giant, is working on a mobile version of Elden Ring, after acquiring the licensing rights from FromSoftware in 2022. The report cites three sources who claim that Tencent is aiming to release the game as a free-to-play title with in-app purchases, similar to the successful gacha game Genshin Impact. However, the development process is said to be slow, as the design of Elden Ring, which is a single-player, premium action role-playing game, is “at odds” with Tencent’s vision.
Tencent is known for its success with mobile games based on established PC and console games, such as PUBG: Mobile and Call of Duty: Mobile. However, it also faced some challenges, such as canceling a mobile game based on Square Enix’s Nier franchise after nearly two years of development. Neither Tencent nor FromSoftware have officially confirmed or denied the report, so the details and the release date of the Elden Ring mobile game remain unknown.
Elden Ring DLC still awaited by fans
While the news of a possible Elden Ring mobile game may excite some fans, many are still waiting for the highly anticipated DLC expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, which was announced by FromSoftware in February 2023. The DLC is expected to add new areas, enemies, bosses, weapons, and lore to the already massive game, as well as some quality of life improvements and bug fixes.
However, there is still no official word on when the DLC will be available, despite some rumors and speculations based on changes to the game’s Steam page. FromSoftware’s parent company, Kadokawa Corporation, stated in a financial report that the development of the DLC is going well, but did not provide any specific timeline. Fans are hoping that the DLC will be released soon, as they are eager to explore more of the mysterious and beautiful world of Elden Ring.
Conclusion
Elden Ring is a game that has captivated millions of players around the world with its stunning graphics, engaging gameplay, and deep story. While the game is already a masterpiece, many fans are looking forward to more content and updates, whether it is the DLC expansion, Shadow of the Erdtree, or the rumored mobile version by Tencent. However, until there is an official announcement from the developers or the publishers, all we can do is wait and hope for the best.
