Prepare to lose yourself in the Lands Between, a breathtakingly vast and beautiful world filled with mystery, danger, and boundless adventure. In Elden Ring, you are one of the Tarnished — exiles summoned back to a fractured land to forge your destiny. Whether you seek to restore order, seize power, or reshape the world entirely, your journey begins the moment you step into the sun-drenched plains of Limgrave. The game offers an unparalleled sense of freedom: if a distant castle catches your eye, you can go there. If a fog-shrouded forest stirs your curiosity, you’re free to explore its depths.
The world is yours to roam on your spectral steed, Torrent, uncovering hidden catacombs, battling majestic dragons, and meeting a cast of enigmatic characters — each with their own motives, allegiances, and secrets. Elden Ring's gameplay is built on a foundation of challenging and rewarding combat. With hundreds of weapons, spells, and skills to discover, the game supports a wide range of playstyles: become a heavily armored knight wielding a colossal greatsword, a nimble rogue with deadly katanas, or a powerful sorcerer who manipulates cosmic forces from afar. The choice is entirely yours.
While renowned for its difficulty, Elden Ring offers multiple ways to approach its toughest trials. You can summon spectral companions to fight beside you, team up with other players online for cooperative play, or take advantage of the massive open world to level up by exploring elsewhere before tackling particularly fearsome bosses. This design makes every victory feel genuinely earned — whether it’s a minor skirmish or an epic showdown.
This sale also follows the release of the massive Shadow of the Erdtree expansion, which adds a vast new area known as the Realm of Shadow. It brings with it dark secrets, terrifying new enemies, and even more gameplay variety for those who’ve completed the main journey.
At the current sale price of $35.99, you gain access to an experience that offers substantial playtime. The main story of the base game alone takes most players around 60 hours to complete, while full exploration and completionist runs can exceed 130 hours. This deal is set to expire at the end of the Steam Summer Sale on July 10th, so now is the perfect time to begin your journey.
