    Elden Ring (Mobile) - F2P Gacha

    https://www.reuters.com/technology/t...ay-2024-02-06/

    Developed/ported by Tencent

    China's Tencent Holdings, has been working to adapt acclaimed action role-playing console game "Elden Ring" into a mobile version.

    The world's largest gaming company by revenue acquired the licensing rights for the game by FromSoftware in 2022 and set up a team of a few dozen people to work on a prototype, the same year it bought a 16% stake in the Japanese game maker, the people said. But progress has been slow, they added.

    While "Elden Ring" was designed as a premium game with a set price tag, Tencent wants to make it a free-to-play game with in-app purchases, similar to the hit game "Genshin Impact" developed by its Chinese rival miHoYo, the people said.

    Why FromSoft would even allow this tarnishing of their IPs is beyond me.

    I thought they were above such garbage, guess not.

    Don't worry, they'll cancel it after like 3 years of radio silence citing "Unable to find a way to monetize it".
