In terms of gameplay, ''Elden Ring'' is a vast evolution of the Soulsborne formula, adding features such as mounted combat and transversal, ItemCrafting, a dedicated summoning system, a vast open-world to explore and fight through (which now includes massive, dynamic "field bosses" to clash with in the open expanses), and a more overt, but still grounded and cryptic DarkFantasy storyline penned with input by Creator/GeorgeRRMartin. It also features many returning gameplay features from past [=FromSoftware=] games, though mostly with unique spins; some examples include a modified version of Weapon Arts (now called "Ashes of War") returning from ''VideoGame/DarkSoulsIII'' and the expansive vertical level design, platforming, and stealth mechanics of ''VideoGame/SekiroShadowsDieTwice'', adapted to a more free-form open world. And as always, the [[NintendoHard brutal difficulty]], dynamic bosses, and frequent deaths which define the SoulsLikeRPG continue to be in play here.

In a realm known as the Lands Between, [[GodEmperor Marika the Eternal]] ruled [[TheEmpire a majestic Empire]] as both its queen and goddess with the power of a mystical rune known as the [[RingOfPower Elden Ring]], source of the [[WorldTree Erdtree]]. Marika's demigod offspring and descendants served as lords, generals, and clergy, imposing the divinely-ordained order of the [[OurGodsAreDifferent Greater Will]]. But one night, the queen's favorite son, Godwyn the Golden, was assassinated with a stolen fragment of the [[ImmortalBreaker Rune of Death]] and became the first demigod to ever die. Then Marika and her consort, the Elden Lord Radagon, disappeared without a trace, and the Elden Ring was [[DismantledMacGuffin shattered]] into the Great Runes. The remaining demigods seized the Great Runes and gained immense power, driving them mad and sparking a titanic SuccessionCrisis as they each vied to restore the Elden Ring and become the next Elden Lord. Countless years later, the Lands Between lie in ruins; the ForeverWar has stalemated, the corrupted demigods languish in their strongholds, and [[HaveYouSeenMyGod the Greater Will is long gone]].
