Elden Ring mobile: Everything we know about the F2P port

A mobile port of FromSoftware’s Elden Ring is reportedly being worked on, so here is everything we know of the free-to-play port. 

Released in 2022, Elden Ring was FromSoftware’s magnum opus, gaining not just 2022’s Game of the Year while racking up the most Game of the Year awards in history, but also the studio’s best-selling game by a long shot.

And with the game’s unbridled success that’s still lauded to this day, a report by Reuters revealed that the Chinese game publishing giant Tencent is working on a mobile version of the game. 

So here is everything we know of Elden Ring mobile.

Elden Ring mobile: Release date

In Reuter’s report, there was no mention of a release date or window, nor do we know how long Tencent has been working on it, only that they’ve been working on it for a while. 

However, it is mentioned that “progress has been slow” on the development of Elden Ring’s mobile version, so it may be a while before we have a look at it. 

We will let update you here when we know more of its release date. 

Elden Ring mobile: Developer

In the report, all we know is that Tencent is working on the game. Of course, Tencent is a massive games publisher with a plethora of studios as either subsidiaries or ownership of. 

FromSoftware

We don’t know which studio will be is in charge, however, in the past when Tencent has developed mobile versions of existing games such as Call of Duty and Pokemon, TiMi Studios has been in charge. 

However, we will update you here when we know more of who is in charge of its development. 

Elden Ring mobile: Gameplay

There was no mention of what the gameplay will be like in the report, however, it’s most likely that it will follow Elden Ring’s (and by extension FromSoftware’s) third-person soulslike gameplay.

Another detail we got about its gameplay is that Tencent wants to make the game free-to-play with in-app purchases similar to Genshin Impact. 

In Genshin, players can play the game to unlock characters through gacha pulls, however, can pay for banners attempts until they get the character they want, and it seems Elden Ring’s mobile version is looking to be similar to that.
