Popular Elden Ring Speed Runner Etches More History by Shaving 18 Seconds off His Own World Record

Elden Ring is the newest project unfurled by FromSoftware that promises to plunge you into the world of the Souls-borne franchise. It is the first of its kind open-world RPG that offers total autonomy, but the difficulty remains unchanged. The world bosses are out to hunt you down and they attack from out-of-nowhere. This franchise is not for the faint of heart and it takes countless hours to clear one area of the game.

But speed runners don’t play by the same rule that is applied to the general population. These devious miscreants meticulously hunt for bugs, glitches, and basically any unfair advantage imaginable. However, it doesn’t go without saying that even this requires immense skill, talent, and immeasurable patience that most people might not be able to muster.

A speedrunner made a new world record by finishing the game in just 28:14, which was 18 seconds faster than his own previous record. A truly remarkable feat that won’t be broken by other players anytime soon, unless he decides to raise the bar even more.

Elden Ring has become a serious contender for ‘Game of the Year’

It has only been a few weeks since the title came and out made its mark on the top charts of most current players. Moreover, Twitch has also seen a similar reaction as the title quickly became the trending game with over 200k viewers. The creators roped in the famous author of the popular franchise Game of Thrones, George R.R Martin, to help write the lore of the game.

With the classic souls-borne gameplay and a legendary writer in the team, Elden Ring mixed all the recipes of success in the right manner. Fans got to experience the world of Dark Souls in the correct RPG fashion, which the community desired. No other title in the long haul has managed to gain the rating of 10/10 from IGN, as the community is calling a true masterpiece.

The RPG title is currently enjoying the third place as of now as the most played game on Steam. With over 500k players, it is truly a magnificent achievement for a single-player game to achieve. Only losing out to valve’s biggest multiplayer titles in Dota 2 (600k+) and CS: GO (700k+). It is safe to say, that FromSoftware has indeed produced its greatest title that can become the game of the year in 2022.
