"Elden Ring Mobile: Free-to-Play Version in Development with In-App Purchases and Microtransactions"

Elden Ring is reportedly getting a free-to-play mobile adaptation with in-app purchases, inspired by Genshin Impact and published by Tencent, who acquired licensing rights to the game in 2022. The development has been slow due to differences in business models and company culture between From Software and Tencent. Meanwhile, the release of Elden Ring: Shadow Of The Erdtree expansion is eagerly anticipated, with recent Steam updates hinting at a possible February release date.
