FromSoftware, Inc. announced on its official website that the release date of " ELDEN RING " will be postponed to February 25, 2022 (Friday), and that a network test of the game will be conducted.
What is the reason for the postponement of the release date?
The release date of " ELDEN RING " was originally scheduled for Friday, January 21, 2022, but has been changed to Friday, February 25, 2022, about a month later. The reason for the postponement is that "the volume of the game and the freedom of the strategy exceeded our initial expectations, so we are extending the time for final adjustments.
The postponement is unfortunate, but it is time to improve the quality to make the game experience even better, so let's wait and hope for a new Fromm's game to die for !
