Elden Ring Player To Sue FromSoftware; Says Devs Are Hiding A Whole New Game That Players Can’t Access

As a veteran gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that this whole Elden Ring lawsuit saga leaves me scratching my head. Now, don’t get me wrong, I love a good challenge in my games, but the idea that an entire game is hidden within Elden Ring, only accessible to the most dedicated fans, sounds like something out of a conspiracy theory.


Story Highlights

  • An Elden Ring player is suing FromSoftware over allegedly inaccessible content to the average player.
  • The player believes cut content is actually part of a larger game hidden behind challenges.
  • He also shared examples from the studio’s other titles, but a narrative designer debunked his claims.

A gamer who plays Elden Ring on the discussion platform 4chan is contemplating legal action against developers FromSoftware. The user alleges that certain aspects of the game are inaccessible to most players due to challenging elements. He supports his argument by pointing out hidden content discovered by dataminers, which he believes is concealed behind these difficulties. He also refers to other FromSoftware games like Sekiro and Bloodborne, asserting they too contain inaccessible content because of their high level of difficulty.

The individual intends to bring FromSoftware before a court on September 25 this year, arguing that there’s an entirely new game embedded within Elden Ring, which even dedicated fans find challenging to access. However, it is important to note that the omitted content is typically part of the game development process and left out of the final version for various reasons.

Narrative Designer Debunks The Claims Of The Elden Ring Player

In the midst of varying opinions on the player’s assertions, Justin Leeper – the story architect for the WWE SmackDown vs. Raw series – added his insights as well. He explained that during game development, he created extensive texts about the backstory and lore to provide context and guide writers, designers, and artists in their decisions. Although these detailed explanations and most of the concept art were not intended for players, a similar approach is being taken by developers of Elden Ring.
