Steamforged Games: Elden Ring Brettspiel

Steamforged Games arbeiten erneut mit Bandai Namco zusammen und arbeiten an einem Elden Ring Brettspiel.

Announcing ELDEN RING™: The Board Game

Undertake a new journey with us, Tarnished.

We could not be more excited to tell you that ELDEN RING™: The Board Game is coming soon to Kickstarter. 

In a vast, sprawling world of decaying grandeur that unfolds through your exploration, you’ll embark on a huge and varied adventure, visiting iconic locations and crossing paths with familiar enemies and characters. Play solo, or with up to three other Tarnished.

Experience the video game’s characteristically challenging fights recreated through intelligent, dice-free combat, where you’ll need to strategise and adapt your plans in each encounter — whether that be a lowly Godrick Soldier or the Grafted King himself.

We’ll be sharing much more in the coming months as we draw closer to launch, right here on our site and on our other channels, which you can follow here.

To be notified as soon as the ELDEN RING™: The Board Game Kickstarter goes live, follow the campaign here.

Steamforged Games Announces ELDEN RING™ Board Game

Friday 16th September 19:00 UTC / 20:00 BST – Manchester, UK – Steamforged Games, leading tabletop games developer and publisher (DARK SOULS™: The Board Game, DARK SOULS™: The Card Game, Monster Hunter World: The Board Game, Horizon Zero Dawn™: The Board Game, the Resident Evil™ board games, and more) announce they will bring ELDEN RING™ to the tabletop in the official board game adaptation.

ELDEN RING™’s adventure in the vast and seamless world of the Lands Between have gripped video gamers and wowed reviewers since its release in February this year, with sales surpassing 16.6 million worldwide.

Steamforged Games have a well-established record of faithfully adapting video games into unforgettable tabletop experiences, and ELDEN RING™ will continue in this tradition.

Like the video game, the ELDEN RING™ board game will immerse players in the forsaken Lands Between. In a vast, sprawling world of decaying grandeur that unfolds through their exploration, 1-4 ‘Tarnished’ players will embark on a huge and varied adventure, visiting iconic locations and crossing paths with familiar enemies and characters.

The video game’s characteristically challenging fights will be recreated by intelligent dice-free combat, requiring players to strategise and adapt their plans during each encounter — whether that be a lowly Godrick Soldier or the Grafted King himself.

Steamforged will launch the ELDEN RING™ board game on Kickstarter, with the date to be announced soon. More details will be shared in the lead-up to the launch.

Mat Hart, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer at Steamforged Games, said:

“ELDEN RING™ is a stunning, genre-defining video game, and we are humbled and privileged to be bringing it to your tabletops. To say our team is passionate about the game would be an understatement. 

“Our mission is always to deliver authentic tabletop adaptations that capture the essence of what fans know and love about the IP. Fans should expect a dark, richly-realised tabletop world of mystery and peril, with satisfying combat and rewarding exploration. Prepare to lose hours to this game, and to be glad about it.” 

The ELDEN RING™ board game marks Steamforged’s sixth time partnering with Bandai Namco Entertainment Inc. following establishment of the relationship in 2016 with DARK SOULS™: The Board Game. Steamforged’s first sizable crowdfunding campaign, DARK SOULS™: The Board Game ran on Kickstarter in 2016 and became one of the highest-funded campaigns in the history of the platform at over $5million.

Aâdil Tayouga, Director of Licensing & Business Strategy at Bandai Namco Europe welcomes the announcement: „Steamforged Games has been a partner for several years and has shown dedication in creating qualitative products faithful to our IP. We are very happy to announce this new collaboration and are looking forward to fans exploring ELDEN RING™ universe as a tabletop game.“
