Elden Ring quickly became by far FromSoftware’s biggest success following its release in February 2022 – where the game managed to sell over 12 million copies within its first few weeks on the market. With the official announcement of its long-anticipated Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, the team have revealed that Elden Ring has now shipped over 23 million copies.

Making the announcement via a press release, the team at publisher Bandai Namco said:

“Combining the development capabilities of FromSoftware and the marketing power of Bandai Namco Entertainment's overseas network, this title has been played by fans around the world since its release on February 25, 2022, and has shipped more than 23 million units worldwide.”

Most recent sales figures prior put the game at having sold 20 million copies – announced back in February of last year.

So while the sales for Elden Ring have certainly slowed down, 23 million copies is still a massive amount – plus with the long-awaited DLC finally set to drop in June, the game will likely hit the 25 million figure sooner rather than later.

KitGuru says: What do you think of Elden Ring? Will its sales surpass the entire Dark Souls trilogy? What do you want to see FromSoftware tackle next? Let us know down below.

After a lengthy wait and much anticipation from fans, From Software has officially announced the release date for Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree. Unfortunately, there is still several more months of waiting ahead but given From Software's track record, the wait will be worth it. 

Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree will officially launch on the 21st of June for all platforms that the base game is available on, which includes last-gen consoles like the Xbox One and PS4. The expansion will introduce a new story and a new world to explore. While there is still a bit of a wait ahead for launch, there is a new 3-minute gameplay trailer:

Unexpectedly, this will be an expensive expansion, coming in at £34.99, but given how beloved Elden Ring's base game is, as well as From Software's many other titles, I'm sure many will be willing to spend the money.

As for the future, From Software head, Hidetaka Miyazaki has confirmed to IGN that the team is open to a second expansion, or a sequel, although there are no ‘current plans' for either.

Elden Ring is well known and loved for many reasons. One of its more underrated aspects is the game’s soundtrack, which perfectly encapsulates the mix of fear, epicness and adventure that you’ll experience throughout your playthrough. In appreciation of the game’s soundtrack, publisher Bandai Namco have announced that the ‘Elden Ring Symphonic Adventure’ concert is coming to London.

Making the announcement on their website, publisher Bandai Namco said “ELDEN RING Symphonic Adventure is the official ELDEN RING concert presented by Bandai Namco Entertainment and FromSoftware, based on the innovative system ‘Narrative Symphonic Experience’ developed exclusively by Overlook Events.”

The symphony is said to be two hours long and will be “completely synchronized to the best moments from the multi-awarded video game of Hidetaka Miyazaki.”

Those who wish to experience the symphony will have to be quick on the draw, as only two performances are announced to be taking place in London – both on the 28th of February.

With “nearly 50 different compositions” being “shaped into long musical suites to keep the extraordinary musical journey feeling that every ELDEN RING player had, exploring the Lands Between,” fans of the game won’t want to miss out on this once in a lifetime experience.

Last year with the launch of the iPhone 15 Pro, Apple made a few surprising gaming announcements. Now, several AAA studios are bringing their games to iOS devices, including the likes of Resident Evil Village and Death Stranding. Unfortunately, other acclaimed titles are going in a different direction, with a free to play mobile version of Elden Ring reportedly in the works. 

Elden Ring first launched in early 2022 and has remained in gaming discussions ever since. It won many GOTY awards and many are looking forward to returning to the game for the upcoming expansion. Aside from new main game content, an Elden Ring mobile version is reportedly in development, according to Reuters.

According to the report, a small team is currently working on the mobile version and progress is said to have been ‘slow', so it could be a long time before we see this. It is also claimed that Tencent is behind this version of the game and is looking to make it a free to play experience with microtransactions. This essentially flies in the face of what fans have come to respect From Software for. All of the Souls games are praised for being complete, highly replayable experiences. A free to play version with microtransactions has the potential to be very iffy.

We'll have to wait and see where this goes but it is worth noting that Tencent has also abandoned plenty of projects and given that progress on this idea is going slow, it could end up being cancelled before it ever becomes an official thing. However, I think it is also worth noting that perhaps Reuters doesn't have the expertise to frame this properly, as a mobile version of Elden Ring is very different from a new game set in the Elden Ring universe with different characters, story and gameplay.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: This would have to be a spin-off rather than an attempt to recreate the game for low-power devices, with microtransactions forced in. That is perhaps the only way this could feasibly work but I still don't think it is the best idea. Then again, it might stand a better chance in certain markets.

FromSoftware has become hugely successful over the past decade, with the continuation of the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, Sekiro and of course, its most beloved game yet, Elden Ring. Now, FromSoftware appears to be ramping up investment in development, with a large-scale recruitment phase underway. 

FromSoftware is currently on a hiring spree, as spotted by IGN Japan. The developer is looking to fill roles for everything from planning, design and art, to programming, sound design and PR. Notably, FromSoftware is also hiring for multiple new projects, so it looks to be setting up multiple teams, possibly in an effort to release games more frequently.

Of course, FromSoftware is a Japanese studio, so it will mainly be looking for employees living in Japan. FromSoftware does not appear to be expanding overseas.

It will be a while until FromSoftware's next big game release but in the meantime, we are due to get a big Elden Ring expansion in early 2024 and Armored Core 6 just launched recently as well.

KitGuru Says: It will be interesting to see what FromSoft does next. Elden Ring was a huge success, so I wonder if we'll see a direct sequel or another new IP.

Right at the start of this year, FromSoftware confirmed its plans for an Elden Ring expansion, titled ‘Shadow of the Erdtree'. We've been waiting for more information ever since and it sounds like a full reveal is just around the corner.

According to YouTuber Ziostorm, who has had accurate FromSoftware information in the past, the Elden Ring expansion should be shown at The Game Awards in December, with a new trailer and an early 2024 release date. More specifically, it is claimed that the DLC will become available on the 5th of February, just in time for Elden Ring's two-year anniversary.

Elden Ring was first properly revealed in 2021 at Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest. With that in mind, it would not be surprising to see Keighley land a second reveal at The Game Awards, particularly after Elden Ring won the coveted GOTY award at his show last year.

Currently, little is officially known about Shadow of the Erdtree but if the game is releasing in early 2024 as reported, then we shouldn't have to wait long for a real update.

Last month we reported that Ubisoft had scrapped plans for a sequel to 2020’s open-world action-adventure title Immortals: Fenyx Rising. While details were scarce at the time, a new report has revealed many of the core design principles behind the now-cancelled project – including the fact that it was to be inspired by both Elden Ring and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.

As reported by Axios, in speaking to sources familiar with the project, Immortals 2 (known as Project Oxygen) was said to be an ambitious game which combined a number of traits from both Elden Ring and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker. The first game was clearly inspired by Breath of Wild, while also offering their own twist on the formula with skill trees, a customisable character, meta humour and more.

The sequel was intended to be much grander in scope when compared to the first title, and was given additional development time because of it. While we saw nothing from the project, the game had supposedly been far enough along to create “several playable hours” worth of content. Ultimately Ubisoft hire-ups decided to cancel the project – presumably to focus more on Ubisoft Quebec’s other in-development title ‘Assassin’s Creed Code Red’.

While we still know little about the sequel, Immortals 2 was said to be a “vast game set across a fictionalized version of the Polynesian archipelago”. Players would gain elemental powers, shape shift, and travel between a bunch of different islands instead of a single landmass. Finally, the game was said to feature a ‘mana’ system which would see player actions physically impact the environment around them.

While not the best game in the world, Immortals: Fenyx Rising was a fun time and offered enough of a unique spin on common formulas to make for an entertaining time. It is a shame to see that we will not see these ideas built upon.

The music industry is notorious for having rather harsh copyright laws with a relatively recent example seeing Nintendo forcefully remove over 1000 songs from YouTube in 2022. Fortunately not every company takes this approach as we saw with Square Enix uploading over 5500 songs to its YouTube channel last year. Now, Bandai Namco is doing the same, bringing its library of music to YouTube for free.

As discovered by ResetEra user ‘–R’ Bandai Namco have opened up a new YouTube channel called ‘Bandai Namco Game Music’ which as of right now includes more than 1000 songs from across a whole host of franchises. Just some of the OSTs uploaded so far include:

  • Code Vein
  • Dark Souls
  • Elden Ring
  • Little Nightmares
  • Soul Calibur
  • Tales of Arise
  • Tekken
  • The Dark Pictures Anthology

The full 1000+ songs were dropped onto the channel at the same time, and so it is currently unknown when/if more music will be added. Regardless, the list of soundtracks available right now is already more than enough to sink your teeth into.

Video game soundtracks are just as important to the gaming experience as the actual gameplay itself, and so it is exciting and encouraging to see more publishers making their music available to all for free. Hopefully Nintendo follows suit.

One of the biggest games of 2022 was undoubtedly Elden Ring. Having sold more than 20 million copies, it is safe to assume that a majority of FromSoftware fans have purchased and played the game. That said, for those who have yet to try Elden Ring, the game is seemingly set to come to Xbox Game Pass.

Sarah Bond, the Corporate Vice President for ‘Game Creator Experience and Ecosystem’ at Xbox took to Twitter to offer a cryptic tweet consisting of an old person emoji and a diamond ring alongside the hashtag ‘#Xbox’. Following this up, Bond confirmed the game being teased was Elden Ring – though offered no further context on what the tweets were indicating.

This has led to some fans believing that Elden Ring could soon find its way onto Xbox Game Pass. With more than 20 million copies sold, the game has likely seen a majority of its sales take place already – meaning it would be an appropriate time for the game to drop onto Microsoft’s service. Despite being more than a year old its inclusion in Game Pass would be a major boon for the service, especially as the game is confirmed to be getting DLC at some point.

Of course, Elden Ring coming to Game Pass is mere speculation, and so the Tweets should be taken with a pinch of salt. That said, its addition to Game Pass would be exciting indeed.

Over the last few weeks there have been numerous leaks pointing towards a release date reveal for Armored Core 6 in the very near future. Now, according to sources, the game is due to be revealed later this month, followed by a release in August. 

According to sources speaking with Insider Gaming, Armored Core 6: Fires of Rubicon will be releasing on the 25th of August this year for PlayStation and Xbox consoles, as well as PC.

This is of course assuming that there are no delays. We're only one year removed from the release of From Software's most successful game to date, Elden Ring, which is also still getting new content. If From Software can pull this off, it will have released major games in back-to-back years.

It is indicated that From Software may announce the game's release date soon, although we are likely to get another trailer during one of the major summer conferences, like Geoff Keighley's Summer Game Fest.

The BAFTA Game Awards have been getting more and more attention in recent years. This year, titles like Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok were competing for the coveted ‘Best Game' award, but both were beat out by an unlikely contender – Vampire Survivors. 

Vampire Survivors released last year after spending a year in early access development. It is a small indie roguelike with auto-attacks. The gameplay and skill really comes from the player moving their character around and selecting the right cocktail of abilities and weapons to complete levels by surviving as long as possible and completing certain challenges to unlock new abilities, maps and characters.

While I say it is an unlikely competitor for Best Game, that is not meant to be a knock against it at all. I love Vampire Survivors, it is one of the few games I've gone out of my way to try and 100% complete, a feat that I haven't achieved just yet, but I'm still trying. It is just not the game I expected to see prevail over two AAA juggernauts, like Elden Ring and God of War Ragnarok.

The full list of winners at the Gaming BAFTAs can be found below:

  • God of War Ragnarok – Animation
  • Tunic – Artistic Achievement
  • God of War Ragnarok – Audio Achievement
  • Vampire Survivors – Best Game
  • Rollerdrome – British Game
  • Tunic – Debut Game
  • Final Fantasy 14 – Evolving Game
  • Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Family
  • Endling: Extinction is Forever – Game Beyond Entertainment
  • Vampire Survivors – Game Design
  • Elden Ring – Multiplayer
  • God of War Ragnarok – Music
  • Immortality – Narrative
  • Elden Ring – Original Property
  • Christopher Judge as Kratos in God of War Ragnarök– Performer In A Leading Role
  • Laya Deleon Hayes as Angrboda in God of War Ragnarök- Performer In A Supporting Role
  • Horizon Forbidden West – Technical Achievement
  • God of War Ragnarok – EE Game Of The Year

In addition, Shuhei Yoshida was awarded a BAFTA Fellowship for his work in the industry.

Months ago, From Software began laying the groundwork for Ray Tracing features in Elden Ring. The game was confirmed to get RT support prior to its release in early 2022 but it is only just now becoming available in an update released today. 

Ray tracing has finally arrived for Elden Ring. In today's 1.09 update for PC, PS5 and Xbox Series X/S, you can now find ray tracing in the options menu. On PC, you'll find it in the graphics settings menu and on console, you'll find it in the game options menu.

On PC, you'll want to have at least an RTX 3060 Ti or Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card for playing with RT switched on. The recommended RT spec calls for an RTX 3070 Ti or an RX 6900 XT.

Aside from Ray Tracing, this patch also makes a number of PvP balancing changes, general game balance adjustments and fixes a lengthy list of bugs. You can read the full patch notes, HERE.

It has been just over one year since Elden Ring launched and since then, the game has gone on to become From Software's fastest-selling title so far. The studio is looking to keep things rolling with additional content, with a new expansion now on the way.  

Today, From Software announced that it is working on ‘Shadow of the Erdtree', an expansion for Elden Ring:

Unfortunately, From Software is being quiet on the details for now. We don't know anything about story, or what the expansion will bring, but it will likely include new weapons and bosses to fight and potentially some new dungeons to explore across the map.

There is no release date for this expansion yet either, but chances are we'll get a trailer over the summer, and a Q3/Q4 2023 release date.

Elden Ring got off to an impressive start last year, with the game quickly outpacing previous From Software titles in sales. Even one year on from launch, the game continues to surpass milestones. 

As of this month, Elden Ring has sold 20 million copies worldwide, Bandai Namco has announced. The publisher also confirmed that this figure includes digital and physical sales across all available platforms.

As of March 2022, the entire Dark Souls series combined has sold 32 million copies. If things keep up, Elden Ring could potentially catch up to the Souls series in overall sales.

While we're sure more Elden Ring is in From Software's future, there will be another IP taking the spotlight in the not-too-distant future – Armored Core. There hasn't been a game in this series in more than a decade, but that will finally change with Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon, which is set to launch on the PC, Xbox Series X/S and PS5.

Last month alongside the Steam Winter Sale, Valve also announced the categories and nominees for the 2022 Steam Awards. After taking on votes from millions of Steam customers, Elden Ring has now been crowned as the Steam Game of the Year – naturally, it also won the ‘best game you suck at' award. 

Elden Ring has been crowned as the Steam 2022 GOTY, but plenty of other games got recognition. In contrast to The Game Awards, the Steam awards have a little more variety all around, so you rarely see one or two games dominating several categories. Elden Ring does still come out of the Steam Awards with the most wins though, having come out on top in two categories.

The full list of Steam Awards 2022 winners can be seen below:

  • Game of the Year – Elden Ring
  • VR Game of the Year – Hitman 3
  • Labour of Love – Cyberpunk 2077
  • Better with Friends – Raft
  • Outstanding Visual Style – Marvel's Spider-Man: Miles Morales
  • Most Innovative Gameplay – Stray
  • Best Game you Suck At – Elden Ring
  • Best Soundtrack – Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade
  • Outstanding Story-Rich Game – God of War
  • Sit Back and Relax – Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga
  • Best Game On The Go – Death Stranding: Director's Cut

These titles all earned their spot, as there was some very good competition in each category, with titles like Dying Light 2, Persona 5 Royal, Sonic Frontiers, A Plague Tale Requiem, Vampire Survivors, Neon White, Monster Hunter Rise, Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II and Cult of the Lamb all missing out on awards.

Elden Ring won big at the 2022 Game Awards, taking home the all-important Game of the Year award. As part of his acceptance speech, Elden Ring’s Director Hidetaka Miyazaki teased that more Elden Ring is on the way – in some form or another.

During his acceptance speech for Game of the Year, Miyazaki said “Thank you so much. I would like to share this great appreciation with our entire Elden Ring team members; everybody at FromSoftware; our partner Bandai Namco; all collaborators and last but not least Mr. George RR Martin who created the great mythos for this game.”

Miyazaki continued, “We have faced so many difficulties while developing this game so as a director I’m really relieved, and this might not be the right thing to say at the location of receiving the GOTY award, but I haven't made up my mind to create even more interesting games than this one.”

Miyazaki then teased the future of the record-breaking Elden Ring, saying “As for Elden Ring we still have several more things we want to do, so getting this GOTY award really encourages us.”

What exactly Miyazaki means by this is unknown, but considering the fact that Elden Ring has sold over 17.5 million copies in less than a year, it is safe to assume that the GOTY winner will be getting some form of DLC – or perhaps even a sequel.

Shortly after the game launched, dataminers found evidence of a hidden colosseum in Elden Ring. This massive arena seemed prime for PvP fights and while it has taken a lot longer than anticipated, From Software has now officially announced Elden Ring's Colosseum DLC. 

In a free update arriving for all platforms tomorrow, Elden Ring players will get access to the PvP Colosseum. There are three colosseums in total, one in Limgrave, one in Leyndell and one in Caelid. If you enter the arena, you'll be able to participate in duels, free for alls and team fights, so there are a lot of options to choose from.

While the sudden launch is a surprise, there has been mounting evidence pointing towards this update for a while now. An Elden Ring patch in October contained more code references to PvP – that update also began laying the groundwork for ray-traced graphics. For now, we do not have confirmation on ray-tracing being enabled in-game with the Colosseum update.

If you are looking to dive back into Elden Ring and participate in PvP, then the update will arrive tomorrow for Xbox, PlayStation and PC.

Elden Ring quickly became by far FromSoftware’s biggest success following its release in February earlier this year – where the game managed to sell over 12 million copies within its first few weeks on the market. Unsurprisingly, the game is continuing to sell like hotcakes, with publisher Bandai Namco now revealing that Elden Ring has sold over 17.5 million copies.

As reported by RMC, Bandai Namco recently released their latest fiscal reports, including a Q&A section where the publisher revealed that Elden Ring has officially sold 17.5 million copies as of the end of September 2022.

For comparison’s sake, the most recent figures for Dark Souls III puts the game at having sold 10 million copies – and that took 4 years. Elden Ring performing as well as it has is impressive not only for FromSoftware, but also due to the fact that Elden Ring is a new IP while Dark Souls III was the conclusion to a highly regarded and popular franchise.

What’s more, Elden Ring has managed this all without releasing any post-launch content – though considering the fact that the game has been nominated for a GOTY, fans are hoping to see news of some DLC at the upcoming Game Awards.

With Elden Ring having Sold 17.5 million copies in just 7 months, there’s no telling just how many units it will have sold when all is said and done.

Just as promised, the nominees for this year's Game Awards have been revealed today. Since God of War Ragnarok released on time, the game is eligible for awards in this year's show and sure enough, it is nominated for the coveted GOTY award.

God of War Ragnarok was actually the ‘most nominated' game for GOTY selection, with Elden Ring coming in a little bit behind. The full list of games nominated for GOTY at The Game Awards includes:

  • A Plague Tale: Requiem
  • Elden Ring
  • God of War Ragnarok
  • Horizon Forbidden West
  • Stray
  • Xenoblade Chronicles 3

While Cyberpunk 2077 didn't win GOTY for the year it came out, the Cyberpunk franchise is getting a second wind in this year's TGAs. The Best Adaptation award recognises film and TV adaptations of various game franchises. This year, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners is up for the best adaptation award, joined by the likes of Arcane, Cuphead, Sonic and Uncharted.

Best RPG nominees include Elden Ring, Live A Live, Pokemon Legends: Arceus, Triangle Strategy and Xenoblade Chronicles 3. Best Action Adventure nominees include God of War Ragnarok, Horizon Forbidden West, Stray, Tunic and A Plague Tale: Requiem.

The Best Indie list this year includes some very recognisable names, like Stray, Sifu, Neon White, Cult of the Lamb and Tunic. This category in particular is missing a pretty big nominee – Vampire Survivors, which has been a hit on Steam and Game Pass, garnering wide praise for its addictive gameplay.

You can see all the nominees for The Game Awards this year, HERE. You'll also be able to vote on games to win each category over the next few weeks in the leadup to the live show on December 6th.

Discuss on our Facebook page, HERE.

KitGuru Says: If I had to guess, I'd put God of War as the GOTY winner, and then Elden Ring will likely win a different category, like Best RPG. What do you think of this year's nominees? Which game do you think will win GOTY?

One of the more exciting gaming events to happen during the latter half of the year is the annual Game Awards. Created and hosted by Geoff Keighley, the annual show has become known not only for its awards ceremony, but also its multitude of game announcements and ‘World Premieres’. Now, ahead of the event going live in December, we know exactly when nominations will be revealed.

Making the announcement on Twitter, the official Game Awards page said “The nominees for #TheGameAwards will be revealed on Monday at 9a PT / Noon ET / 5p GMT.”

Though not the only awards show for gaming, the TGA’s is one of the biggest, with last year’s event being watched by more than 85 million people. As always, the most exciting list of nominees will be the Game of the Year category.

Though no official announcements have been made regarding any categories yet, it is safe to assume that the likes of God of War Ragnarök and Elden Ring will be nominated for GOTY.

Of course, as we saw with last year’s winner (It Takes Two), anything is possible, and so it will be interesting to see what games are in fact nominated.

Late last year, From Software revealed that it was planning to bring ray-tracing features to Elden Ring, but they wouldn't be there at launch. We haven't had an update since then, but that finally changed this week. The latest Elden Ring patch includes new strings for ray-tracing support. 

As spotted by From Software games dataminer and modder, Lance McDonald, the latest Elden Ring patch adds new menu strings for ray-tracing. The strings are simple menu messages that will appear as you adjust the settings, so unfortunately we don't know what specific features will be implemented. Ray-tracing can be used in a variety of ways, from shadow casting and reflections to global illumination and even audio.

The patch also includes references to two new maps that do not exist yet in-game. This is more evidence that From Software is working on an expansion of some sort. Previously, players have also managed to find an unused Colosseum area in-game, which could be used for a new PvP mode.

Given that Geoff Keighley has been involved in other Elden Ring reveals, we'd guess that From Software is planning to announce new Elden Ring content for 2023 during The Game Awards in December.

KitGuru Says: Evidence points to new Elden Ring content on the way. Hopefully, the upcoming ray-tracing update is substantial too and doesn't just add Shadows due to their lower performance impact.

Many of FromSoftware’s previous titles have been translated into board game formats, with the likes of Dark Souls and Bloodborne both getting their own board games. As such, it is unsurprising to hear that Elden Ring – by far FromSoftware’s most successful game to date – will also be getting its own board game.

Announced via Kickstarter, few details regarding this Elden Ring board game have been announced, aside from the fact that the game is being created in partnership with Steamforged Games – a common collaborator with video game developers – having been responsible for the likes of Dark Souls – The Board Game; Resident Evil – The Board Game; Horizon Zero Dawn – The Board Game and Monster Hunter World: The Board Game.

As mentioned, we currently know very little about the Elden Ring board game, however early reactions from fans have been somewhat skeptical due to the inconsistent nature of Steamforged Games’ portfolio.

Still, the idea of an Elden Ring board game is tantalising and so hopefully the team at Steamforged Games do not fall into previous failings and are able to make the Elden Ring board game their best one yet.

From Software has had an incredible run over the last decade, finding great success with the Dark Souls games, Bloodborne, and most recently, Elden Ring. From Software is already backed by Japanese media conglomerate, Kadokawa. but new investors are now being brought on board, including Sony and Tencent. 

Sony and Tencent now own a combined 30.34 percent stake in From Software, with Tencent taking 16.25 percent and Sony Interactive Entertainment taking the other 14.09 percent stake. Kadokawa Corporation still owns the majority of the company and retains 69.66 percent of shares in the studio.

In all, Sony and Tencent invested a combined 36.4 billion Yen into From Software, which works out to around $250 million USD. The deal values From Software at just under $1 billion USD currently and will allow the studio to expand its creative efforts beyond games and into other forms of media. The investment will also aid in the creation of new games, based on both new and old IP.

That's all the information we have for now, but with Sony being a key investor in From Software now, we'd expect to see further partnership between the two companies.

KitGuru Says: While Sony is a part-owner of From Software now, I'd still expect to see most From Software games releasing across multiple platforms.

Throughout the year, Twitter keeps track of the video game discussions taking place on its platform. Last year, the social network announced that Genshin Impact was the most Tweeted about game for all of 2021. 6 months into 2022 and the free-to-play title continues its reign at the top.

Taking to their blog, Twitter gave gaming fans insight into the discussions happening on their platform, revealing that across the more than 1.5 billion gaming-related Tweets “Genshin Impact remained atop the charts for Most Tweeted About Video Game globally, after claiming the title in 2021. And everyone’s favorite daily activity, Wordle, took the no. 2 spot.”

The full top 10 list for the first half of 2022 is as follows:

  1. Genshin Impact
  2. Wordle
  3. Ensemble Stars!
  4. Final Fantasy
  5. Project Sekai
  6. Apex Legends
  7. Elden Ring
  8. Fate/Grand Order
  9. Valorant
  10. The Legend of Zelda

While this list shares many similarities with last year’s most discussed games, there have been some interesting shifts, with titles including Minecraft, Fortnite and Animal Crossing: New Horizons not making this year’s top 10.

Of course, we are only halfway through the year, and with heavy hitters such as God of War Ragnarok and Splatoon 3 still on their way, the top 10 list may look entirely different come the end of 2022. We will have to wait and see.

Just last week, we learned that From Software already has a new game on the way, with the unannounced title entering ‘the final stages of development' just months after Elden Ring shipped. As it turns out, this isn't the only other project the studio is working on, as it has multiple directors all putting together new games simultaneously. 

In an interview with Japanese site, 4Gamer, From Software President, Hidetaka Miyazaki, confirmed that the studio has been working on a second game alongside Elden Ring and that it is “in the final stages” of development. The interesting part about this is that the news comes just a few months after we last heard some buzz around a new Armored Core game. Earlier this year, From Software sent out consumer surveys specifically asking for feedback on a new Armored Core, and even included screenshots and gameplay videos.

Elsewhere in the interview, Miyazaki also added that From Software is working on “several titles directed by people other than myself”. Some of these games may stray from what we've come to expect from the studio over the last decade. Miyazaki hopes that we'll see “a different colour of direction” from the studio soon, as reported by VGC.

So far, we know From Software is working on Elden Ring DLC, and likely has a new Armoured Core game on the way, but it sounds like there is even more in the works behind the scenes.

From Software has had a great year so far, having released Elden Ring to great critical acclaim and positive reception from fans. In fact, Elden Ring is likely on its way towards winning many GOTY awards at the end of the year. As it turns out though, From Software has another secret project in the works, sparking rumours that a new Armored Core could be on the way after all these years. 

In an interview with Japanese site, 4Gamer, From Software President, Hidetaka Miyazaki, confirmed that the studio has been working on a second game alongside Elden Ring and that it is “in the final stages” of development.

The interesting part about this is that the news comes just a few months after we last heard some buzz around a new Armored Core game. Such a project has been in and out of the rumour mill for years, but earlier this year, From Software sent out consumer surveys specifically asking for feedback on a new Armored Core, and even included screenshots and gameplay videos.

Given that a new Armored Core essentially leaked months ago, it seems likely that this is the project that Miyazaki is referring to. If the game is close to being finished, then it should also be close to announcement, so perhaps we'll see From Software show up at one of Geoff Keighley's upcoming events once again this year.
