Elden Ring has officially been certified as gold, which indicates that there will be no further delays and that the game will be released on February 25 as scheduled.
Considering that the release of Elden Ring had been postponed from its planned January 21 release date in 2021, many speculated that further postponements were in the works, especially given that the pandemic was still having an impact on video game creation all across the world. Elden Ring has now gone gold, according to the EldenRingUpdate Twitter feed (via IGN). This means that there will be no further delays for the game.
This news was made during an Elden Ring event at the Tapei Game Show, which took place earlier this month. The phrase “going gold” refers to the process of creating master copies of a video game in order for it to be mass-produced in large quantities.
This is only done when the final version of a video game is complete and ready to be published to the public. Many developers release a large day-one patch to solve flaws that are present in the retail version of the game that is being sold in shops, which means that fans may have to sit around and wait for a little longer after inserting their disc into the system in question. This game has generated an enormous amount of interest, to the point where some believe Elden Ring will be the most highly anticipated game of the year 2022.
A new FromSoftware game, particularly one that belongs to the fantasy genre, has been anticipated for a long time, and the fact that Elden Ring has gone gold indicates that the torturous wait is almost over.
