Famitsu magazine had a survey on Elden Ring players and thanks to FrontlineGamingJapan we can see the results. The questions range from general things to what do players like about the game, all the way to specifics such as what multiplayer mechanics they prefer. This is good information for us to get a broader view about how people see Elden Ring and of course good feedback for FromSoftware.

5/11/22 News from Bandai Namco
As of March 31, Elden Ring has shipped 13.4 million copies according to Bandai Namco’s most recent earnings release. To put that in perspective, in about a month, Elden Ring has reached half of the entire Dark Souls franchise’s lifetime sales. And Dark Souls 3, the best selling Souls game, took roughly four years to surpass the 10 million sales mark. Elden Ring very well could eclipse the Dark Souls franchise lifetime sales of 27 million.

5/4/22 News from FromSoftware
On May 10th behind the scenes information regarding Elden Ring will be unveiled in the magazine CGWORLD. In the past, From has been very open with the design process of the Souls games via the Design Works books. It’s unclear as of now if this magazine issue will be replacing a would-be Design Works book or if it’s simply a sneak peek of sorts. Either way, here is a rough translation of the announcement tweet.
"ELDEN RING" will be featured in the magazine "CGWORLD" released on May 10th (Tuesday). A lot of specialized information on the production of characters, backgrounds, effects, etc. is posted. Please take a look if you like.” --@FromSoftware_pr
Whenever FromSoftware has released this kind of information it always delivers great insight to that specific game and how From continues to evolve as a developer. We can’t wait to pour over this in the future.

With the new patch we got new speedruns. Distortion2 broke the world record in LV1 Glitchless All Remembrances with a time of 2:07:16. Elden Ring as a speedrun game offers a lot of different categories for runners to choose from due to its expansive game design. It should be exciting to see how speed runs will evolve.
