With Elden Ring entering a Closed Network Test (read: beta) last November, it’s not surprising to hear that players have dived into the game’s data to uncover info about the game that’s not publicly known yet. If you’re wondering what kind of info the latest Elden Ring datamine has unearthed, well, it’s a lot. There’s info about the weapon classes, status effects, boss names, and loads more.

Speaking of the Closed Network Test, we got a chance to check it out ourselves thanks to Bandai Namco. Here’s an exceprt from our impressions: “When Elden Ring launches in February I fully expect it to be From’s most successful game to date with lots of new players that hopefully stick with it, at least enough to summon jolly cooperation if they feel overwhelmed. Will this game stop the obnoxious “easy mode” debates surrounding From’s games? Nope. But it is inarguably their most accessible game.”
Elden Ring arrives on PS4, PS5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X|S, and PC this February 25, 2022
