Set in a universe parallel to the events of Elden Ring, players must “outlast a three day-and-night cycle”, culminating in a boss battle at the end of the adventure.
It’s described as a “condensed action RPG”, where players will never experience the same journey twice.
There’s a roguelike element to the game, with players earning relics to to customise and upgrade their characters for future runs and increase stats.
The action is also limited to a version of Elden Ring starting area Limgrave, although it looks like the locations will shift during each playthrough.
