Elden Ring has been causing a sensation for a few months thanks to a recipe for success signed FromSoftware. A souls like open world (a first for the company), plunging players into the Underworld, a world torn by wars between gods, demi-gods, and… everyone eventually.
But what has contributed to the success of Elden Ring are its elaborate graphics, and its gigantic world, offering players dozens of zones, each more different than the next. From the barren lands of Caelid to the snow-capped mountains of Giant’s Rise, the change of scenery is total. For good reason, the FromSoftware teams have put their heart into their work and have, for months, tried to perfect the Entre-terre that we know.
What if we told you that a streamer managed to get access to a pre-release version of the game, allowing us to find out what changes were made before the (more or less) final version of Elden Ring was unveiled in last February, do you like it?
The Underworld as you’ve never seen it before!
The idea comes from Lance Mcdonald, and if his name means anything to you, it’s because he’s already invited himself behind the scenes of the Underworld before. It was he who revealed what was inside the mysterious Colosseum, hinting that a DLC related to these buildings would be forthcoming.
This time, it was even before the game was released that he teleported. He was thus able to stream his adventures in an Entre-terre in finalization, seeking to find production secrets, or even last minute changes from FromSoftware.
Of course, the free camera is de rigueur and thus allows Lance to sneak into every nook and cranny, looking for modifications in areas inaccessible to players.
So far, Lance McDonald has only performeda 4h30 stream, but say you want to do more, so you can take the time to thoroughly explore each area. Although no major changes have been noticed, especially since this type “of investigation” takes a lot of time, it allows us to dive into the Elden Ring in development, the one that the FromSoftware teams have put so much effort into building.
For that alone, the pre-release exploration remains very interesting and we will of course be there to follow the next streams of Lance McDonald, in search of the hidden treasures of the Underworld!
