Elden Ring Player Is Suing FromSoftware, And The Reasons Are Wild

As a seasoned gamer with over two decades of experience under my belt, I must say that Elden Ring is indeed a masterpiece that has managed to captivate me and countless others in its intricate web of mystery and challenge. However, the recent news about a player considering legal action against FromSoftware for supposedly hiding a secret game within the difficulty of the game left me utterly baffled.


It’s clear that Elden Ring is an exceptional game, and with the new Shadow of the Erdtree DLC, there’s a wealth of incredible content to explore. But what sets Elden Ring apart is its open-ended design, letting players view its world in diverse manners. Now, it appears that one player’s perspective has possibly triggered legal issues.

As a dedicated fan, I find myself in a rather puzzling predicament regarding Elden Ring. The information we’ve gathered thus far seems enigmatic and somewhat unclear, leaving me questioning if there’s enough substantiation for a lawsuit against FromSoftware. However, given the massive player community that Elden Ring has amassed, it’s not entirely implausible to consider such a scenario. Therefore, I thought it would be worth delving into the reasons why I, as a player, might contemplate legal action against FromSoftware.

Elden Ring Player Sues FromSoftware For Hiding A Secret Game Behind Elden Rings Difficulty

A user on 4chan has started discussing their intention to sue FromSoftware, alleging that challenging content in the game is concealed by its high difficulty level. However, upon further investigation, it appears this case may not be as straightforward as depicted, leaning less towards a clever scheme (Saul Goodman scenario) and more towards a challenging predicament (Terrence Howard situation).

There’s an individual claiming to be on 4chan, who intends to file a lawsuit against FromSoft due to his belief that a significant portion of Elden Ring is not accessible for typical players.

Based on the sign’s statement, within approximately two months, you will find yourself acknowledging that game developers often create content for individuals considered “crazy” because they possess courage that you may lack to venture into the unexplored world. Furthermore, you will come to understand that hackers might have been misleading you; when they mention content being cut, it is more likely that such content remains undiscovered instead. Additional discussions and posts emphasize how other games such as Bloodborne and Sekiro share this same concept.

So far, FromSoftware hasn’t responded to these allegations, and it’s not hard to see why. While trimming content is typical during game development, the temptation to imagine what the game might have been with certain features included is understandable. Nevertheless, suggesting that there’s a secret game hidden within the game, as some people call “Eldenception,” may be more wishful thinking than reality. In all likelihood, such claims wouldn’t hold up in court.

Although one might contend that FromSoftware has concealed significant portions of content that could potentially form an entire game, the truth remains that these are merely fragments and disparate pieces. For instance, discarded dialogue from Miquella or Messmers do not constitute a unified narrative and cannot be seamlessly connected to construct a complete game.

It appears that FromSoftware’s fanbase is expanding rapidly, attracting enthusiasts who show such dedication they might even contemplate legal action against the developers. Nevertheless, Elden Ring continues to be an exceptional game with high replay value, and its DLC is equally impressive. Just a friendly reminder: if feasible, let’s avoid any lawsuits, alright?
