‘Elden Ring’ Delayed to February 2022, Closed Network Test Occurring Next Month

Well, this sucks. Bandai Namco’s upcoming collaboration with George R.R. Martin in the Soulslike Elden Ring has been pushed back. Originally schedule for release on January 21, 2022, the game will now see a February 25, 2022 launch instead.

Despite producer Yasuhiro Kitao’s claim that the game is in the final stages of development, the decision was made to delay the release of the game to meet the “depth & strategic freedom” expected of the game.

It’s not all bad news, as Bandai Namco have announced that Elden Ring will be having a Closed Network Test beginning November 12. You can sign up for the potential to be picked for the test on Bandai Namco’s website.

Elden Ring is due out for PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series, Xbox One, and PC via Steam.

Important message:

ELDEN RING will release on Feb 25, 2022, as the depth & strategic freedom of the game exceeded initial expectations. Thank you for your trust & patience. We look forward to seeing you experience the game in the Closed Network Test in Nov.
