Elden Ring achieves gold status and finally enters production


Elden Ring is getting closer and closer to a release.

After the release of Elden Ring was already postponed from January 21st to February 25th, fans are still worried that From Software and Bandai Namco will postpone the release of the role-playing game again. But the first major stage seems to have already been completed.

Elden Ring achieves gold status

During the Taipei Game Show, producer Yasuhiro Kitao announced that the title will be available for sale on February 25, 2022. Elden Ring is said to have reached gold status and the development team is now only busy preparing the Day One patch. Kitao has not yet been able to say how big this will be.

What does gold status mean? With the gold status, the development studio completes the development of the game and puts it into production. The final version is also called the master code and can be sent to the pressing plant to “press” the code onto the game discs. The digital version will also be submitted to various retailers.

Alongside this happy announcement, there was also plenty of new gameplay footage to see. During the presentation, Kitao goes into more detail about the open world, the different dungeons and the freedom that players have in Elden Ring:

You can also see that the skills are not tied to weapons. Rather, a character can cast spells and then still bow in combat.

No definitive release

Does that mean nothing stands in the way of the release? Not quite. Anyone who can vaguely remember knows that Cyberpunk 2077 had also achieved gold status in the past. However, the release still had to be postponed from November 19, 2020 to December 10, 2020.

So it could still be that the game has to be postponed again shortly before the release. Above all, the fact that Elden Ring has already been postponed for a short time leaves a stale aftertaste. So we didn’t want to get excited too soon.
